5 Ways To Get In The Holiday Spirit

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Danone and JM Smucker. The opinions and text are all mine.

 

You have your November 1st people, who have had their homes fully decked out in holiday gear for quite some time now; then you have those after Thanksgiving people (we tend to fall into this category), and then you have those who are just slightly late to the party due to their overwhelming schedules. While most people just focus on if your tree is up, decorating your house is just one part of the equation. There are so many little ways you can get in the holiday spirit. No matter what category you are in, being festive is just plain fun, so I thought I would share 5 Ways to Get in the Holiday Spirit!

Festive Coffee

When you hear festive coffee, you might immediately be thinking – that sounds like a lot of work. Well, it doesn’t have to be with my holiday coffee + creamer hack. I take one of my normal everyday classic Folgers® K-Cup® pods with International Delight OREO® Cookie Flavored Creamer  (which is now Non-GMO Project Verified) and add candy canes! Yes, that’s right, it will give you a nice dash of peppermint to enjoy with your coffee, and it looks super festive on top of that! To add to the deliciousness, you can save up to 20% on participating coffee & creamer products with Cartwheel at Target from 11/11 – 12/22!

Festive Mug and Decor

Friends, your mug matters! Remember we are talking little things that can make a difference in your holiday spirit level. Grab a festive mug for your coffee and creamer at Target. It will just feel good drinking out of a cute cup. There are so many fun decor options at Target right now, so have fun!

Host a Party

Folgers® K-Cup® pods are also a great feature item for a party, especially in the winter when everyone needs to warm up! Someone once told me, the key to planning a great party is having your guest remember what they see, smell, hear and taste. It’s about making an experience, so when that enticing aroma hits the air, you know it’s unmistakably Folgers® Coffee. It is so much more than just a good caffeine buzz (which is fabulous), but people just look forward to it at events. Then, you can make it festive with creamers from Target for the taste. Plus, remember right now, you can save up to 20% on participating coffee & creamer products with Cartwheel!

Visit Target

In reality, we all know Target has everything you need from decor to coffee cups to host a great party and get in the holiday spirit. As soon as you walk in the door, it’s a beam of holiday spirit that is enough to have you singing through the store (especially to the holiday packed dollar section). Like you really needed an excuse for a Target run?!

Holiday Music

And, last but for sure not least, what you listen to really can affect your mood for the day. When I want calm in my life or to start my day on a positive note, I listen to soft music. If I am in a more pumped up mood, I listen to modern country or pop music. So, if you are wanting to add a little joy to your day and get in the holiday spirit, listen to holiday music! There are so many stations playing this music already and even TV channels that have it on. Plus, there is always YouTube!

Getting in the holiday spirit is an overall feeling, and combining all these things just brings a smile to your face and warmth to your heart. Little things like taking a spin on your classic Folgers® Coffee by adding in International Delight OREO® Cookie Flavored Creamer with a touch of candy canes makes all the difference. Just remember, with the craze of the holidays, Target has all your coffee & creamer holiday entertaining needs (& great Cartwheel offers)! Enjoy!
