Happy Monday Friends! Our kitchen is the central hub of our home, but during the holiday season it turns into Baking Central. Both of my girls love baking and November and December are filled with occasions to bring out the mixing bowls, chocolate chips, sprinkles and more. Today I’m sharing with you my Christmas Kitchen and then make sure to check out 13 other amazing Christmas Kitchens along with some great recipes and printables.
We love baking breads, cookies, candy and all sorts of treats for our neighbors, the kiddos’ teachers, family and friends. There’s just something so sweet about giving a homemade treat to those you care about.
My kitchen got a festive makeover for Christmas… lots of greenery, plaid, burlap and poinsettias.
On top of my white cabinet doors I dangled Christmas branches, bright red bulbs and wreaths.
I filled the hanging blue and green mason jars by my sink with poinsettia clippings.
Our kitchen island is the perfect place to set up for baking central. I picked up some oh-so-cute new baking items recently at World Market. I love the Mint Melamine Batter Bowl… it’s perfect for whipping up a batch of cookies or brownies. How cute is that Red Retro Mixer I found too… my youngest daughter loves using it. She mixed up some pancakes yesterday with it.
In my nesting crates I piled up some pinecones in one and some more poinsettia clippings in the other.
We made up some Ginger Bread and my Grandma’s Christmas Butter Cookies.
They taste almost like a buttery pie crust and they are a simple 3 ingredient cookie.

They are so easy to slice and add your festive sprinkles for a simple Christmas cookie.
Well I hope you enjoyed a look around my Christmas kitchen. Make sure to check out all the other amazing Christmas kitchen and recipes and printables…

how did you adhere the ribbons to the back of your cabinets? i love this idea!
Hi Elisa, I used 3M Command Hooks. Super easy to put up and take down 🙂
How did you hang the mason jars on the side of your cabinets, I love that idea!
Thanks Machee! I normally have fresh herbs in them. Here’s the link to how I did it. http://www.domestically-speaking.com/2014/07/hanging-herb-mason-jars.html
This made me so hungry! Totally worth breaking the diet for!
Right… I don’t think calories count in December 😉
I love all the little holiday touches in your kitchen! Looks like you have lots of fun baking ahead of you! 🙂
