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.

 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!

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.

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!

    I agree that there’s not enough time to celebrate sometimes. I wouldn’t put up a Christmas tree before Thanksgiving, but I would keep it up at least a couple of weeks after the New Year. It’s too pretty not to enjoy for awhile! Regardless, I know I’ll be enjoying this delicious drink all throughout the holidays 🙂

    Our Thanksgiving here in Canada was in October so there’s lots of time in between that and Christmas, but we usually don’t put up decorations until December. I think that’s a good time. The exterior lights usually go up first, followed by all the inside stuff. I’m getting exciting just even writing this now 😀 !! I can’t believe that it’s only about 6 weeks away and when I think of all the stuff that has to be done before then, I’m in shock! I really love frozen hot chocolate and you’ve totally gone over the top here with these one, Gayle! Love the caramel twist, especially salted caramel. It’s definitely not to early to enjoy this one 😉 Pinned, of course. Have a wonderful week!!

    I’ve always been told that the “PC” way to decorate is to wait until after Thanksgiving. BUT, I am all for doing what you want, Gayle!! If you want to put up decorations now – DO IT! Don’t let what other people think or do dictate your life. Both the holiday season AND life are way to short for that nonsense! Now I fully expect to see Christmas decorations in (and on) your house. Lol. 😉 Anyways, let’s talk drinks! Guuuurl, my husband would FREAK out over this beauty! I mean the name says it all – Frozen Salted Caramel Mocha Hot Chocolate! Salted caramel AND mocha flavored hot chocolate? Daaaaang. SO MUCH YES! I have to make this for Boy pronto! Pinned of course! Cheers!

    I am with you 100%!! The time is just too short for all the beauty that we invest so much time and energy in, if we wait until after Thanksgiving! We won’t put our tree up until after but I am all about the rest trickling in at any point now! And man is this a perfect beverage for sitting by the tree! Can’t wait!

    I typically wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate, but I’ve been sneaking a peek at our box of decorations and getting antsy. I think, like you guys, our tree will wait but some festiveness will make its way out a little early. 🙂 Frozen hot chocolate sounds like just the refreshment to sip on while decorating!

    I put my Christmas tree up on Friday! That’s generally our rule — November 11. But that’s about a month after our Thanksgiving here so I feel totally justified! I am totally on board with all things holiday, especially all the festive drinks!

    I’ve found that I put up the Christmas tree earlier and earlier each year. But it’s not really my fault. The fresh trees are available earlier each year, and one year when I went to get one the day after Thanksgiving they were already gone where I buy them! Crazy.
    This drink is everything I want. Seriously. I could eat the pictures!

    I SO know what you mean! Is it just me, or do the holidays past by quicker and quicker as we get older? I think it’s awesome that the two of you came to a compromise on when to start putting up the decorations. 🙂 I can only imagine how amazing it’ll all look in your new abode. <3 Meanwhile, G!!! I'm totally working on a frozen ho cho recipe too! Lolol. Great mind think alike–and this is SO why we're friends! That and pumpkin, PB, roasted potatoes… There are so many flavorful reasons why we're friends. Haha. LOVE how amazing this delightful drink looks! That drizzle is making me drool!

    So normally I’m one of those that waits until after Thanksgiving for everything but lately I just want it to be Christmas. Plus it’s a hassle taking all those decorations out and the put them back only 3 weeks later so I’m with you…let’s decorate. This salted caramel looks awesome. I could totally go for one this afternoon. Since it is 80 degrees here. Ha! Ps that caramel drizzle though. 😉
