With Thanksgiving officially set to kick-off the 2016 Holiday Season this Thursday, I allowed myself to have the first mug of some Holiday Season goodness.

What is it, you ask? Well, it could be many things, seeing as the Holiday Season is steeped in traditions surrounding many festive food and drinks.

But the first order of business to get me in the holiday spirit? Having a mug of coffee with some Peppermint Mocha flavored creamer in it!

Now while I usually have two mugs with some flavored creamer in them each morning, this is a big deal for me, because I used to have a problem with the Peppermint Mocha. The problem being, I had it so much after they started selling it year-round a few years ago, that I overdosed on it, and had it so much I couldn't bring myself to down even one more mug of the stuff.

But last year, after a couple years off, I allowed myself to buy a bottle and try it again. And, last Saturday morning, I had my first mug. In moderation (surprise, surprise) it was really good again. So, here's to the Holidays!

What holiday food or drink do you just have to have in order for it to be the Holidays?
