One of our Fix-It and Forget-It recipe contributors shared this Christmas tradition with us: “I come from a family of eight children, and every Christmas we all get together. We eat dinner, and then play games while drinking Hot Cranberry Cider.”
This sounds so cozy and fun, and we plan to try it tonight. Want to join us? Here’s the recipe:
