Santa’s sleigh might be old-school, but his snack game? It’s getting a serious upgrade this year.

If you’re over the same ol’ cookies and milk situation (and let’s be real, Santa probably is too), we’ve got a festive little swap that’s cozy, delicious, and actually feels good to eat. Enter: Cranberry Matcha Scones and a Gingerbread Hojicha Latte. They’re rich in antioxidants, powered by clean energy (thanks to matcha), and taste like holiday joy.

So grab your apron, turn on your favorite winter playlist, and let’s get baking.

🍵 Why Matcha (+ Hojicha) for the Holidays?

Matcha isn’t just a summer thing. Its smooth, clean flavor pairs beautifully with warm spices, winter fruits, and cozy vibes. Plus, it gives you that gentle energy lift without the crash or jitters. Perfect for powering through holiday hosting, last-minute gifting, or just staying awake through that family board game marathon or building that dollhouse your kiddo has been dreaming of.

And don’t sleep on Hojicha either. It’s roasted, cozy, low in caffeine, and downright perfect for those cold afternoon pick-me-ups or fireside sipping.

✨ Cranberry Matcha Scones

Tangy, toasty with a touch of sweet, these scones are the ultimate winter bite. They’re golden on the outside, fluffy inside, and packed with juicy cranberries and a gentle matcha twist.

Bake a batch for Santa. Or for yourself. Or both.

🍪 Gingerbread Hojicha Latte

Low-caffeine, ultra-cozy, and full of warm gingerbread spice, this one’s a hug in a mug. If you haven’t tried hojicha yet, this might be the latte that changes everything.

Not to mention, Hojicha is called “evening tea” in Japan, making it the perfect sip for Santa.

🎁 One Last Tip...

Wrap up a batch of these scones in parchment and ribbon for a homemade gift. Pair it with a pouch of Matcha Nude and you’ve just become everyone’s favorite holiday elf.

Make Santa proud. Bake the scones. Pour the latte. And share the joy.
