I love fall and the holiday season not only for the cooler weather and time spent together with family but also the delicious warm beverages and baked goods! I drink several cups of coffee each morning and having seasonal creamers such as International Delight® Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer make each cup of coffee even better! It’s like stirring liquid holiday cheer into your coffee!
During the holiday months, I frequently have guests and my favorite thing to offer them is Peppermint Mocha Scones along with a cup of coffee. I love to make my guests feel welcome and I was taught to always feed your guests!
I keep a variety of coffee creamers on hand so that I have something for everyone. In addition to the Peppermint Mocha creamer, I am also loving International Delight® Chocolate Hazelnut. It is the ultimate holiday must-have!
These Peppermint Mocha Scones are packed full of chocolatey goodness and a hint of peppermint. Topped with peppermint frosting and crushed candy canes.

Doesn’t this look delicious? I am going to have to whip up some Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake Bites this holiday season!
I do all of my holiday shopping at Walmart including picking up International Delight® Peppermint Mocha and Chocolate Hazelnut. During my trip to Walmart, I found the seasonal creamers in a bunker in the middle of the aisle in the dairy department.
It’s just not the holidays without seasonal creamers! What is your favorite seasonal creamer?
