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!

    I cant get enough of snickerdoodles…I would live off them if I (and my waistline) could! The holidays are the perfect excuse to have them

    ½ cup maraschino cherries, drained and finely chopped
    2½ cups all-purpose flour
    ½ cup granulated sugar
    1 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
    12 ounces white chocolate baking squares with cocoa butter, finely chopped
    ½ tsp almond extract
    2 to 3 drops red food coloring, optional
    2 tsp shortening
    white nonpareils and/or red edible glitter (optional)

    1Preheat oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    2Spread cherries on paper towels to drain well. Chop finely; set aside.

    3In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in drained cherries and 4 ounces (2/3 cup) of the chopped chocolate. Stir in almond extract and, if desired, food coloring. Knead mixture with your hands until it forms a smooth ball.

    4Shape dough into ¾-inch balls. Place balls 2-inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Using the bottom of a drinking glass dipped in water and then sugar, flatten balls to 1½-inch rounds.

    5Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until centers are set. Cool for 1 minute on cookie sheet. Transfer cookies to wire rack and let cool.

    6 Place remaining chocolate and shortening in a pyrex bowl or measuring cup. Heat and stir in 30 second intervals in the microwave until melted and smooth. Dip half of each cookie into chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. If desired, roll dipped edge in nonpareils and/or edible glitter. Place cookies on waxed paper until chocolate is set.

    Yield: 3 dozen

    My favorite Christmas cookie are the Mexican Wedding Rings. They are called a whole bunch of different things… but they are the shortbread type ball covered in nuts and powdered sugar. Yum! I am a first grade teacher, and we make them together as a class during our snow unit since they look like snowballs.

    My favorite cookie recipe is so simple and so yummy.

    Peanut Butter Cookies

    1 cup of peanut butter
    1 cup of sugar
    1 egg

    Mix all 3 ingredients together and bake at 350 for about 9 minutes or so depending on your oven.

    To make these cookies even more yummy I like to set a Hersheys Kiss in the middle of each cookie right after they come out of the oven.

    my favorite Christmas time cookie is definitely sugar cookies. I love making these with my kids in all kinds of cookie cutouts. My close second is snickerdoodles made with yellow cake mix just add vanilla extract and roll in cinnamon and sugar.
