When you think of Christmas, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? For most, it’d
probably be Santa’s warm smile, a steamy cup of hot chocolate, or the embers of a
fireplace. For me, it’d have to be morning yogurt sprinkled with gingerbread granola.
Give my recipe a shot this winter, and you’ll undoubtedly unlock a new Christmas to
cherish!
