🎄 it’s okay to be a Grinch “stealing” Christmas if it’s @thosepretzels, right? 🤭

Don’t worry, I shared all of them! Make sure to like this post so I can share some with you too! Giveaway launching soon to get you stocked on the most addictive savoury holiday snack that you might not want to share (it took awhile to convince me to share them… )

Have you tried one of my fave holiday snacks yet?! 🥨

DISNEY ON ICE presents Magic in the Stars // Oh gosh how many years have we been going to @disneyonice ? Each year is magical, the look in our kids eyes changes year to year as they appreciate different things as they age (this year it was all about the costumes!)

Take a magical journey with Mickey, Minnie, and friends through the timeless stories of Cinderella, Aladdin, Toy Story, and Cars, and today’s favorites including Encanto, Frozen 2, and Moana. Create new memories with Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon and Asha from Wish, and become enchanted by Tiana, Rapunzel, and The Disney Princesses. Celebrate the unforgettable adventures of Disney and Pixar brought to life in new ways at Disney On Ice presents Magic in the Stars.

There’s still 1 more day to catch the show and tickets are available on ticketleader.ca, it’s such a wonderful tradition to start with the family at any age.

There’s nothing like great food to bring people

There’s nothing like great food to bring people together, and the new @whitespot_restaurants Comfort Menu is all about cozy, feel-good flavors that make you feel right at home, even when you don’t want to be anywhere near the kitchen. My family feels so at home that they annoy each other while waiting for their food to pass the time!

With scrumptious meals like the hearty Braised Beef Burger, savory Mini Yorkies, and the return of the iconic Chicken Pot Pie, there’s something to satisfy every craving and every appetite. Round out the meal with a decadent slice of carrot cake that might make you
reconsider if you’re too full for dessert. 🍰

Now featuring six new dishes designed to warm your heart and your taste buds, it’s the perfect excuse to get cozy this season at White Spot with family and friends.

Don’t forget to also take advantage of the gift card promotion just in time for the holidays as well. Grab a $50 gift card and receive a $10 cash card to use in the New Year. Not like you’ll need an excuse to come back though. You didn’t want to cook anyway, right? ;)

Also.. spot the blooper clip of my kid trying to shove me through the door because she *does not* mess around about her White Spot fries.

What would be your comfort menu go-to?!

Is it even Christmas without a visit to @metropolisatmet for #HolidaysAtTheMet? 🎄

Easily one of my favourite events to catch up with good friends, enjoy delicious nibbles, and discover some of the most sought-after gift ideas for everyone on your gift lift.

New this year, is a VIP section in the Grand Court that will leave you feeling relaxed, nourished, and entertained! The VIP section is granted to guests who spend $300 or more (before tax) on the same day by showing their receipts.

The exclusive VIP Lounge includes a complimentary glass of wine, a hot chocolate bar, sweet treats, and light snacks. It also has a private kids’ lounge area, a holiday film screening section, and parcel and coat check-in so shoppers can relax.

The first 500 shoppers to enter the VIP Lounge will be gifted with the Met’s red Holiday tote, which allows unlimited in-and-out access throughout the holidays.

Remember to enjoy month-long activities, including Date Night with Santa, Holiday photo ops throughout the mall, Global Santas, roaming music, and, of course, Christmas for a Cause!

You’ll always find me popping in to drop off items for the @burnabychristmasbureau and I hope you will too!

// THE PURGE ⛓️‍💥

If there’s ever a “Purge” scenario, the 2024 @fordcanada Ford F-150 Raptor would be the ultimate survival machine. First off, let’s talk about its size. In a world where chaos reigns and you need to fend off lawless mobs or navigate debris-strewn streets, you’ll want the Raptor’s towering height and massive frame on your side. At nearly 81 inches tall and riding on 37-inch tires, this beast gives you the kind of road (or off-road) dominance that makes you feel like nothing can touch you. Plus, when things get a little dicey, the Raptor’s 13 inches of ground clearance means you can go off-grid, leaving the chaos behind while everyone else is stuck in traffic and chaos.

Of course, let’s not forget that 720-hp V-8 option in the Raptor. If you’re being chased down by a band of nefarious villains, that supercharged engine will get you from 0 to 60 in about 3.5 seconds—faster than most sports cars, let alone your average getaway vehicle. Not only will you escape the madness, but you’ll look cool doing it just like we did. And with the FOX Dual-Live Valve shocks keeping things smooth over any terrain, you can dodge barricades, potholes, and even a few stray Molotov cocktails without losing sight of your… ahem, neighbors… targets… whatever they might be at the time. ☠️

There hasn’t been a single @cirquedusoleil show that I haven’t enjoyed, though I feel like Echo may have just dethroned my favourite. Sharing a visually stunning story of connection, intention, and the bond between humans, the animal kingdom, and the world we share, the audience is taken on an awe-inspiring journey that will leave you gasping, clapping, laughing, and reflecting. All rolled into a 125-minute show.

Running now until January 5, 2025 under the big top in Vancouver, the show combines jaw-dropping acrobatics, belly-laugh-inducing traditional mime comedy, mind-blowing tech, and visually stunning artistry in a show that you won’t be able to stop talking about!

Have you been to a Cirque du Soleil show before? Which one was your favourite?
