Deal Seeking Mom and ABC Home Video are partnering to give five of my wonderful readers a prize package consisting of three family holiday DVDs. Throw in a little hot cocoa and homemade Christmas cookies and you’ll have the makings of a fun family movie night!

Included in the prize package are:

  • Snowglobe – a charming Christmas tale starring Tom Cavanagh and Ashley Williams that will delight the entire family with a sleigh-full of reindeer antics! When Nick Claus’ baby reindeer is stolen, he travels to California’s renowned San Diego Zoo to rescue it – only to find true love in the process!


  • Snow – Christina Milian takes center stage in Snowglobe and “shakes things up” in this delightful seasonal tale. The holiday magic comes alive when Angela, played by Christina Milian, inherits her grandmother’s antique snow globe and finds she is able to leave her dreary, ordinary existence and travel to the idyllic Christmas-y world inside the wondrous globe!


  • Holiday in Handcuffs – an original movie about a ne’er-do-well 30-something who attempts to appease her family by kidnapping an attractive boyfriend to bring home for Christmas!  Despite the unlikely odds, the two share a “merry” special holiday…and manage to fall in love!

    Ingredients
    3 cups all-purpose flour
    3/4 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    1 cup sugar
    1 egg, beaten
    1 tablespoon milk
    Vanilla to taste (for me, LOTS)
    Powdered sugar, for rolling out dough
    Directions
    Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Place butter and sugar in large bowl of electric stand mixer and beat until light in color. Add egg and milk and beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed, gradually add flour, and beat until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl. Divide the dough in half, wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate for 2 hours.

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

    Sprinkle surface where you will roll out dough with powdered sugar. Remove 1 wrapped pack of dough from refrigerator at a time, sprinkle rolling pin with powdered sugar, and roll out dough to 1/4-inch thick. Move the dough around and check underneath frequently to make sure it is not sticking. If dough has warmed during rolling, place cold cookie sheet on top for 10 minutes to chill. Cut into desired shape, place at least 1-inch apart on greased baking sheet, parchment, or silicone baking mat, and bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are just beginning to turn brown around the edges, rotating cookie sheet halfway through baking time. Let sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes after removal from oven and then move to complete cooling on wire rack.

    Don’t worry about storage……they’re delicious warm from the oven, invite over some friends and family and ENJOY!

    My favorite cookie is the sugar cookie. The grandkids and I have so much fun decorating them for Christmas. They are also delicious plain.

  18. Erin

    My whole family’s favorite is Peanut butter blossoms. Which is peanut butter cookies with a Hershey’s kiss in it.

  19. Erica

    Sour Cream Sugar Cookies are by far my favorite Christmas cookie. They don’t need to be refrigerated before you make them and aren’t too sweet. They are soft and pefect with a cream cheese frosting or better yet….nutella!

    Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
    1 ½ c. Sugar
    1 c. Shortening
    3 eggs

    Cream the above ingredients then add:

    1 c. sour cream
    1 t. vanilla

    In a separate bowl mix:

    5 c. flour
    1 t. salt
    1 t. soda
    2 t. Baking powder

    Fold in dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Roll out on a floured surface and cut out cookies with cookie cutters then bake for 7-10 minutes at 350 degrees F.

    My favorite Christmas cookies are the ones my grandmother made when I was growing up. They were sugar cookies that she used a hand press to shape like trees or wreaths. Then she put red or green sugar on top. I miss the cookies and my grandmother.

  23. Michelle

    My husbands Aunt makes the best Snickerdoodle cookies ever. They are so moist and just melt in your mouth. I have tried making them and do not compair to hers.

  24. Tamra

    My favorite “cookie” is divinity. Only my Grandma’s recipe. She would send a batch every Christmas, and I always looked forward to them. She has been gone for three Christmases now, and I really miss getting them. I have tried and failed to make them. She had the “special touch”.

  26. Margaret B

    My favorite cookie is my Grandmother’s homemade soft sugar cookies with icing. Unfortunately I don’t have the recipe to share.
