Christmas – Tina's Chic Corner

Christmas 2022

December 16th, 2022Tina2 Comments

Welcome to our home for the holidays! The kitchen is a busy room in our home, especially this time of the year with all of the cookie baking. I’m glad that we added a Christmas tree last year to this room to make it more festive. I bought a size that I think would work in several rooms but I loved it so much in the kitchen that I set it up in the same spot this year. I think my style this year is pretty similar to least year. I focused on neutrals and nature. I bought this table …

Sugar Kiss Cookies

December 13th, 2022Tina0 Comments

These cookies get me into the Christmas mood. I always like to include a sugar cookie of some sort in my holiday cookie boxes. Usually I make a roll out sugar cookie or sugar cookie sandwich (filled with jam or chocolate hazelnut spread). This year I decided to make a sugar drop cookie instead. I made these sugar cookies two years ago and they were a huge hit so I thought I’d make them again but add a little chocolate twist to them. Isn’t the sugar coating so fun and festive?! No wonder why these have gotten me into the …

Holiday Dining Room 2022

December 9th, 2022Tina2 Comments

It’s the holiday season and my husband and I are in full swing with hosting holiday dinners with family and friends. As in the previous few years, I adorned the chairs with faux wreaths. I used to spend so much time hanging them just right but last year my husband used removable clear clips (similar ones here). They are a game changer and we used them again this year. I always move things around until I get them just right. However, I had a vision for this area and I got it right the first time. I wanted my collection …

Gingerbread House Mug Topper

Have you heard of gingerbread house mug toppers? If you’ve never heard of these before, they are miniature gingerbread houses that conveniently sit on a mug of your favorite beverage. I first saw gingerbread house mug toppers a few years ago in a chain retail store. They were ridiculously expensive (and still are) so I figured that I could make them for way cheaper. Fast forward to today, I finally tried making them from scratch. You will need: Guys, I’m horrible at frosting stuff. My gingerbread house experiences consist of graham crackers and an empty milk carton from school lunch …

Candy Cane Shaped Raspberry Cheese Danish

December 2nd, 2022Tina0 Comments

I’ve got the most Christmas-y festive treat for you (and it’s not cookies). I’ve made this raspberry cheese danish a number of times. I shared it with you originally in 2013 and again in 2019 (same recipe, just updated pictures). It always comes out pretty and it’s always a huge hit, especially with my dad and husband. My parents came out for a visit last week to see the home decorated for Christmas, so I thought I’d make the danish again. But wait, there’s more. 😉 I saw online that you can shape a cheese danish into a candy cane …
