Everything looks delicious. Lots of great Christmas Spirit in the kitchen! Great job Team Bakers! I love your apron Chris. I don"t remember you wearing this before. Looks festive as well as the kitchen decorations.

What’s Santa Claus’s favorite type of potato chip? Crisp Pringles!

Why was the snowman looking through the carrots? He was picking his nose!

Thanks for sharing your day! Hugs! Brooke & Henri
