In October I called for my first Christmas blog parade with the delicious topic “Your favorite Christmas recipe”. Today I would like to introduce you to the blogs that responded to my call and their favorite Christmas recipes.
Food connects
A big part of my motivation to start a blog was (and still is) to connect with other people. To exchange ideas and pass on your own experiences. For me, this not only includes exchanging ideas with you, the readers of my blog, or the followers of my Instagram account, but of course also exchanging ideas with other creative (food) bloggers.
After taking part in a few blog parades and getting to know many unique blogs, I grew the desire to start my first blog parade! Said, planned... Thanks to my “To-Want List for Q4 2024” habe ich diesen Wunsch zum Ende dieses Blogjahres in Angriff genommen und habe im October I called out for my Christmas blog parade with the topic “Your favorite Christmas recipe” .
Including our favorite Christmas recipe, we have brought together six delicious and individual Christmas recipes that will make your mouth water!

Liebe Lia,
sehr gerne habe ich an deiner Blogparade teilgenommen und sowohl bei dir als auch bei den anderen Teilnehmern tolle neue Sachen entdeckt. Ich hoffe, dass es vielleicht eine Sommeredition oder eine Wiederholung zu Weihnachten 2025 gibt.
