I Made This "Exploding Cocoa" Once and Now I'll Never Go Back to the BoxRecipes
Now that winter has arrived, it’s nearly impossible to open Instagram or TikTok without being greeted by an exploding hot chocolate bomb. The tasty trend is popular for a reason: When these chocolate spheres are dropped into warm milk, they crack open in the most mesmerizing way, releasing a flurry of hot cocoa mix and marshmallows creating an decadent cup of hot cocoa.

This German Mulled Wine Is the Coziest, Most Heartwarming Holiday DrinkRecipes
Look to the people who survive winters with only a few hours of sunlight each day for the coziest and most heart-warming holiday drinks. The answer, according to Germans, Swedes, Norwegians, Finns, and Danes? Mulled wine. Here is a basic recipe that will make glühwein like you would get at a German Christmas market. In fact, many commercial Christmas markets simply reheat a pre-sweetened and pre-spiced mix, so this will likely taste even better. It’s the perfect cozy drink for winter.

I Serve This Slow Cooker Mulled Cider at Every Holiday Party (It's So Easy!)Recipes
Hot mulled cider is a must-have at all our fall and winter shindigs. It’s a great non-alcoholic drink option for holidays like Thanksgiving — guests of all ages never seem to turn down a mug, but grown-ups can also take the opportunity to do a little self-spiking and mix with their alcohol of choice. Slow-cooker mulled cider is the easiest way to serve a crowd.

The Best Way to Cook Lobster TailsRecipes
Lobster tails may seem like a fancy meal that should be relegated to a special night out, but they’re actually quite simple to cook at home. The tails come frozen and ready to cook, and their meaty texture and sweet flavor pair well with just melted butter and a squeeze of lemon. Of course, you can also chop up the meat to make a killer lobster roll , lobster ravioli, or lobster risotto instead.

Baked Lobster Tails Is the Easiest Fancy Dinner EverRecipes
My husband is from New England and we go back to visit a few times a year, so I consider myself a part-time New Englander. We feast on a lot of whole lobster while we’re there — especially in the summer when the whole family’s together and a lobster dinner is both celebratory and fun. Although I’m partial to claw meat, most of the family loves tail meat, as the tails are meaty and easily come out of the shell in one piece.

How To Make the Absolute Best Crab CakesRecipes
Crab cakes should be all about the crab — no questions asked. They should be crispy on the outside, moist and flaky on the inside, and taste exclusively of fresh, delicious crab. No fillers or excess spices getting in the way. If you agree, you’ve come to the right place. Our crab cake recipe is intentionally unfussy. We’ve put crab meat at the center of the equation, and thrown in just enough extras to hold the patties together.

5 Tips for Celebrating New Year’s Eve When You Have KidsKitchen
Every year, my friends and I come together to celebrate the new year in the Hudson Valley. There are eight of us in total, and this four-family sleepover is my very favorite event of the year. With delicious food, lots of downtime, and a chance to sit and talk for hours, it’s a perfect way to start each year feeling refreshed. As kids have entered into the equation — there are now six between us! — things have gotten a bit trickier.

This Is the Best Budget Bottle of Sparkling Wine You Can BuyGroceries
As far as I’m concerned, celebrations big and small deserve bubbles — which means I’ve been popping quite a few bottles of sparkling wine this holiday season. I don’t exactly have the means to uncork pricey Champagne and other bottles of high-end sparkling wine on the regular, though. My eyes pretty much always narrow in on the under-$15 shelf when I’m out shopping.

You Should Stop Washing Your Champagne Glasses, According to the FrenchKitchen
What’s the first thing you do when you retrieve your dusty Champagne flutes for a special occasion (read: New Year’s Eve)? If you’re like me, you give them a good wash. After all, they’ve been sitting a while, and who knows what airborne debris and pet hair has settled in them! Well, do I have news for you. I recently capped off a couple of weeks in France with a day exploring the Champagne region.

When (and Why) You Should Spring for the Good ChampagneSkills
Bubbly makes everything better: a night becomes an evening, and lunch becomes a rendezvous; a gathering is a celebration, and an intimate dinner for two becomes a pronouncement of intention. Bubbly is, in all its forms (Prosecco, Cava and Champagne), magical in its ability to enliven and uplift every occasion — but never quite as much as when the bubbly is Champagne.
