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
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 …
Gingerbread Drop Cookies (Redux)
Oh my goodness, these cookies make my kitchen smell Christmas-y. I originally shared this recipe here back in 2015. Since many of you may be new around here, I thought it was worth sharing again.

Chocolate Kiss Cookies
Every Christmas cookie box deserves at least one chocolate cookie and these beauties are it this year. If you like chocolate then you’ll love these cookies. They are a soft chocolate cookie with a chocolate candy on top. I mean, I have no words. It’s simply chocolate heaven. The nonpareil sprinkles give them a fun festive touch. They are all dressed up for Christmas but you can obviously switch it up for whatever the holiday or occasion calls for. I’m actually not a fan of sprinkles so I made some cookies without them. They aren’t quite as pretty but that’s …
Christmas 2021
Seasons greetings and welcome to our home for the holidays! If you’ve seen previous holiday seasons here at the home of Tina’s Chic Corner, then many of the decorations might look familiar to you. I like to re-use my decorations in different ways and in different rooms in order to give the items new life. Plus, I have fun creating new looks. One of the reasons why I start decorating the week before Thanksgiving is because I like to move bits and bobs around until it feels right. The entry way greets you with a warm winter feel. I used …
