No, I’m not talking about snowballs made of real snow (unfortunately), I am talking about the liquid, alcoholic kind.
The Christmas season is not the Christmas season without a snowball or two. One of the reasons they appeal to me so much is because they taste very similar to cream soda. Only this is grown-up cream soda.
And what goes with Christmas drinks? Christmas music! Therefore I thought I would share with you the songs that I am currently playing on a near continuous loop – either physically or in my head. It is not an exhaustive list – there are others. Many, many others, but these are the edited highlights!
