Christmas Tree Brownies

Christmas in July

The popularity of Christmas in July has grown in recent years, and we’re huge fans of the idea. So if you’re planning on taking advantage of winter to experience Christmas like the rest of the world, here are our simple tips that are sure to make it special. 

- Experiment with seasonal ingredients. Matching seasonal citrus fruits, apples and pomegranates with cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and pumpkin will create a vibrant and colourful menu. 
- Get the whole family involved. Let the kids help out by making decorations, Christmas cards and party invites. They can help out in the kitchen too, with planning the menu and preparing the food. 

Since no celebration is complete without dessert, we’ve also compiled a few of our favourite Christmas baking recipes to try this July too. 

Little Chocolate Christmas Puddings
Mini Christmas puddings filled with chocolate – we’re in love. Plus, they’re little, which means you can eat more pudding without feeling guilty… (right?)

Christmas Cookies
These are so much fun to make with the kids, and they never last long out of the oven.
