No-Bake Christmas Wreath Cookies

My favorite Christmas Cookies to make this time of year are the no-bake Christmas wreath cookies. Both kids and Adults adore these delicious cornflake cookies during the holiday season. If these easy-to-make Wreath Cookies that you don’t even have to turn on the oven for don’t put you in the holiday spirit, then I don’t know what will. The Kids I nannied for went CRAZY for these cookies every December.

Thanksgiving 2025

On this beautiful fall cold day of Thanksgiving, Corey and I wanted to come on and thank everyone who has been on this adoption journey with us. That being said, both of our families, friends, church community, and our close-knit community. Thank you so much for your support and love during this amazing adoption journey. This was a Thanksgiving that will not be forgotten because we had been planning to go spend our Thanksgiving in Las Vegas this year with most of Whitney’s family, but things changed when Whitney had to stay home and work on Black Friday. This was Whitney’s first time not being with her family in 39 years. I was very hurt that Corey & I could not spend it with my family. So, the morning of Thanksgiving, Corey was making sure to make it special for me, and we turned on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as we watched it. My favorite float was the Bronx Zoo Float; just the details of the animals were amazing. For someone who really enjoys spending time at the local zoo, that float just had my heart. Corey’s Favorite float was the Upside-Down Invasion: Stranger Things. As we watched the parade, we started to decorate our home for Christmas together. It was a fun morning that made my day much brighter. That evening we got to go spend Thanksgiving at Corey’s Grandpa’s house, with his parents, his great aunt, his aunt, his uncle, aunt, and one cousin. It was so much fun, and it made me realize that if we are with some family, that is all that matters. I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving with their loved ones.
