This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Pop-Tarts®.
I was asked to come up with something special using the limited edition Printed Fun Gingergbread Pop-Tarts from Kellogg’s.
Ginger is one of those finicky ingredients that only works with so many other flavors. Eggnog for one, but I am not a fan. Instead, I decided to mingle some hot and cold foods: ice cream topped with the crumbled Pop-Tarts and a steamy creamy cup of homemade cocoa.
These gingerbread Pop-Tarts have a little design printed on them, but you can’t see that too well once broken up.
What do you think?
Does it look like a yummy afternoon snack?
Or a holiday treat while gathered ‘round the campfire?
Everyone in the house found the combo of the gingerbread Pop-Tarts and the vanilla ice cream really tasty.
Priceless.
And the hot chocolate chaser kept us nice and warm on this really cold December day.
On to the good stuff!

My favorite is O Holy Night when I'm being spiritual, and The Happy Elf, by Harry Connick Jr. when I'm not! Ha! Also, the link to the official rules wasn't working...
Favorite holiday song? Oh that's hard. I really like anything by Mannheim Steamroller. But one song I heard 2 years ago (haven't heard it since) is called the Gift by Aselin Debison.

I have to say that O Holy Night is my favorite. Especially if sung by Josh Groban. Gotta love that voice!
carol of the bells and oh holy night are my favorites. best I've ever heard was a missionary in the MTC sing Oh Holy Night. It was awesome.
"Mary Did You Know?" by Faith Hill is my current favorite.
"O Holy Night" best song Ever and my FAVORITE!!!!

The new songs are great, but I really like Rod Stewart singing "Baby, It's Cold Outside". I know, Dolly's in there too, and I'm not a big fan. But somehow, I can overlook HER to spend 3 minutes with Rod! LOL! I'll have to try the gingerbread Pop-Tarts. Ice cream? Sorry, Not on my new program.
Yum! Looks good. I'll have to watch for those gingerbread Poptarts. My favorite Christmas song is "Oh Holy Night".
My favorite right now is Happy Birthday Jesus.

Hi Amie
Oh wow, I have two favorites...
The first is "O Holy Night" and it's unbelievably amazing when sung by Celine Dion.
And "It's the most wonderful time of the year" especially by Johnny Mathis or Amy Grant.
I am also partial to anything by Mannheim Steamroller.
Fabulous!!!
