There is something so magical about the shift when the air gets crisp and we start thinking about creating cozy, warm traditions at home for the Christmas season. Today, I am thrilled to share a special review of a new release from my talented and long time friend Melissa Bahen (you may also know her as Lulu the Baker) – Farmhouse Christmas: Recipes and Crafts for a Cozy Homemade Holiday.
You also might remember her from my Tiny Star Wall Hanging post featured in her Scandinavian Gatherings book! Today’s book is her FOURTH book, what an amazing accomplishment!!
If you love simple seasonal entertaining, comforting from scratch recipes and thoughtful DIY holiday projects, her new Farmhouse Christmas book is going to be your holiday best friend this season.
Why You Will Love Farmhouse Christmas
If you are already a fan of some of Melissa’s previous books, you know her style is equal parts accessible, beautiful and completely down-to-earth. Farmhouse Christmas brings that exact charm straight into the holiday season.
How precious is this holiday charcuterie wreath to bring as an appetizer to your next bookclub or hangout with friends!
Here is a quick snapshot of what makes this book so special:
- She includes over 70 From-Scratch Holiday Recipes. From festive breakfast spreads to cozy winter dinners and delicious holiday treats, there are so many great recipes are included.
- She shares 12 DIY Holiday Crafts & Gifts. Each craft has easy to follow directions with beautiful handmade decor projects and thoughtful gift ideas for neighbors and friends.
- FULL of so much stunning Holiday Inspiration! This book is packed with gorgeous photography by Melissa that will instantly get you in the holiday spirit.
She even gave me credit for her section on Holiday Paper Bag stars! You can see my blog post on that here (Paper Bag Stars and Advanced Paper Snowflakes).
Easy to make Holiday Recipes
What I love most about Melissa’s approach to holiday food is that it feels special without being overwhelming. The recipes hit that perfect balance of traditional cozy comfort and fresh farmhouse flavor! Whether you need an easy Christmas morning breakfast or a crowd pleasing dessert for a holiday party, every page feels inviting.
Farmhouse Handmade Crafts
You know how much I love hands-on creative projects! The craft section in Farmhouse Christmas is brilliant because the projects aren’t overly complicated – they are darling and add that warm, homemade touch to your home decor.
They also make wonderful gifts for teachers, hosts and neighbors.
Is Farmhouse Christmas Worth Adding to Your Shelf?
Absolutely!! Whether you are looking to refresh your holiday menu, gather creative DIY craft ideas or find the perfect gift for a friend who loves farmhouse style and cozy entertaining, this book delivers.
It isn’t just a cookbook or a craft guide – it’s an inspiring treasure for slowing down and making memories with your family during the winter season, which is exactly what I love about Christmas time.
