Season’s greetings, Crunch Crew! It’s finally winter, and we are shivering with excitement (and maybe slightly from the cold air!). Some say this is the most wonderful time of the year, and we here are John Wm. Macy’s couldn’t agree more! There are plenty of activities to keep us busy – from decorating for the holidays to spending the day playing in the snow! Come along while we share our favorite ways to celebrate our favorite season!
Making the Most of Snow Day
One of our favorite parts of the winter season is the wide array of outdoor activities. You can finally lace up your ice skates for a few laps around your neighborhood rink or break out your skis and hit the slopes with your pals! If you’re lucky enough to experience a snow day at home, you can head outside for a day full of sledding and making snow angels! We couldn’t possibly forget about our favorite winter activity – building a snowman! We like to swap out the traditional carrot nose for one of our John Wm. Macy’s CheeseSticks to give it our own cheesy flair!
Wrapped Up in Holiday Cheer
A great way to spend your evenings around the holidays is to get together with your friends! Start spreading some holiday cheer and invite your friends over for a gift wrapping party! Set up a gift-wrapping station complete with various patterns of wrapping paper, ribbons and bows of every size! You can listen to your favorite seasonal music, wear festive pajamas, and get all of your wrapping done while spending quality time with your besties. Of course no gathering is complete without the food! This is the perfect opportunity to create a festive charcuterie. You can keep it simple and assemble your ingredients on a board in the shape of a tree or a wreath and garnish with cherry tomatoes to look like ornaments!
Comfort Foods Worth Melting For
Whether you’ve spent your day outside enjoying the snow or inside trimming the tree, you are sure to have worked up an appetite! We have the perfect suggestions for some foods that are sure to satisfy your hunger and give you fuel for more activities!
Our recipe for tomato soup is simple, savory, and the perfect comfort food on a cold day! Serve with John Wm. Macy’s Cheddar CheeseSticks for dipping to elevate your dining experience! Another great option is a flavorful, hearty chili. Serve with John Wm. Macy’s Chipotle & Cheddar CheeseCrisps on the side for dipping or crumbled on top for a touch of added spice. Lastly, our favorite comfort food after a long day of winter fun is baked Brie! Simply place a wheel of Brie in the oven at 350°F for approximately 10 minutes, or until soft inside. Drizzle with honey top with some chopped pecans, and serve with John Wm. Macy’s Grilled Crostini toasts for the perfect bite!
We hope you are enjoying the best of glad tidings and good food this holiday season! Tag us on social media @johnwmmacys and let us know your favorite winter activity! On behalf of all of us here at John Wm. Macy’s, we wish you a very Happy Holiday Season, Crunch Crew!
