So, tell me, how early is too early to put up holiday decorations?

I’m not talking about summer-time early, or even before Halloween, but is the week before Thanksgiving acceptable? Or do you wait until after turkey day to pull out your decorations?

I absolutely LOVE decorating for the holidays! And now that the hubster and I are in our new house, I can’t wait to put our tree by the fireplace, set up the rest of the decorations, and then cozy up on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate to take in the view.

But, the hubster and I have sort of a differing opinion on when it’s acceptable to decorate. I’m not one of those people who needs Christmas to be showing 24/7 in my house starting on November 1st (that’s a bit too early in my opinion). After all, we can’t forget about Thanksgiving!

But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is too short, way too short, in fact. Sometimes, there’s less than a month between the two holidays. And since we don’t decorate until after Thanksgiving, that leaves us with a short amount of time to enjoy Christmas and everything that goes along with it. Know what I mean?

So, we’re going to compromise. We won’t put up our tree until after Thanksgiving. But, I’m going to decorate the rest of the house starting next week. Earlier, but not too early, and we can still enjoy Thanksgiving.

When I was shopping at Walmart a few weeks ago to stock up on some holiday goodies, I came across International Delight® Coffee Creamers. I’ve talked about this product before (and used it in a few recipes) so you may remember my love for this creamer. 

Not only does International Delight® make my morning cup of coffee even better (especially when it’s enjoyed around the Christmas tree), but it also makes a delicious component to baked goods. And with seasonal flavors like International Delight® Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer and International Delight® Salted Caramel Mocha Coffee Creamer, you can be sure to find a flavor that everyone enjoys.

So, after stocking up on a few different coffee creamers, I headed to enjoy a hot cup of coffee with a splash of International Delight® Peppermint Mocha Creamer, while brainstorming a new seasonal recipe that’s perfect for this time of year.

This Frozen Salted Caramel Mocha Hot Chocolate is a festive way to embrace the start of the holiday season. This easy drink is a sweet and creamy blend of hot chocolate, milk, and the rich flavors of salted caramel and mocha. Put a spin on traditional hot chocolate by serving this frozen drink instead!

If you’ve never had frozen hot chocolate before, then you’re definitely missing out! But, not to worry, this Frozen Salted Caramel Mocha Hot Chocolate takes less than 5 minutes to make, from start to finish. It’s smooth, thick and creamy and tastes just like a steaming mug of hot chocolate, but in frozen form.

And by adding International Delight® Salted Caramel Mocha Coffee Creamer to this decadent drink, it kicks up the flavor into pure bliss. The sweet chocolate, rich coffee creamer, drizzle of caramel sauce and a touch of sea salt really bring this drink to life. 

And like most of my recipes, this Frozen Salted Caramel Mocha Hot Chocolate is a breeze to whip up! But, you knew that was coming, right? Simply add everything to the canister of a blender and blend away. 

Pour into a tall glass, garnish with some whipped cream and caramel sauce, and your frozen hot chocolate will blow your taste buds away.

So, whether you want to start out your morning with a hot cup of coffee and your favorite creamer, or are looking to jazz up your favorite holiday drink, International Delight® has got you covered with their festive (and delicious) creamers!
