Best Of 2021 : Foods
Every year, our family looks back at our 25 Dates of Christmas and tries to pick out our favorite foods, activities, and memories from the season. It’s no small task and we always wind up having a lot more candidates than we have spots. But, it’s a cherished tradition of walking down memory lane and reminiscing on all the fun we had.
As a reader, we know it can be overwhelming to look at the sheer quantity of dates. Which ones should you start with? And that’s exactly why these posts exist! With these, we can give you our personal recommendations of where you should begin. These are the ones that we enjoyed the most as well as why.
So, with no further ado, here is the curated list of the Sommerfeld Family’s favorite foods from 25 Dates of Christmas 2021!
