Christmas Sangria is a delightful way to celebrate the holidays, all in one gorgeous chilled glass. This festive sangria is just the right balance of crisp and fruity, with a slight touch of sweetness!

For the past two days, I keep having to remind myself that Christmas is just around the corner. Can you believe it’s only two days away?! It feels unreal. Although I suppose that’s the case every year…

I spend over a month preparing for it, and it comes as such a surprise when it finally arrives.

I am all about packing Christmas Eve and Christmas day with as much food as I possibly can. The cooking and baking marathon will continue until my feet are sore and my stomach is rumbling (yes, I always forget to eat when I am cooking/baking!).

There’s something about the holidays that brings out the true inner chef within me. Sharing homemade food with all my loved ones is the best gift in the world in my book.

This Christmas Sangria is a delicious, simple recipe to accompany any meal and make your holiday merry and bright. It’s honestly the one recipe that my entire family demands that I make for our Christmas Eve celebration every single year!

The addition of rosemary adds the true taste of the holidays that I cherish so much. As soon as you take that first sip you’ll realize that this sangria is the drink you won’t want to live without when Christmas rolls around every year.

This Recipe’s Must Haves

Get the look in the video below with this Stemless Wine Glass Set and pitcher. The pitcher is one that I so so love, because it’s gorgeous and just the right size!

Stir it up with a Classic Wooden 12-inch Kitchen Spoon, a must-have for my utensil jar.

I just have to say, thank you all so much for your support over the past two years. It’s been so much fun to watch Cake ’n’ Knife grow and to have you all right here with me, well, it’s been such an honor.

You all fill my heart and soul with so much joy and I can only hope the recipes and stories I share with you all do the same.

Thank you for an incredible 2014 and I am simply brimming with excitement for 2015! It’s going to be a HUGE year!
