Six Sensational Holiday Treat Recipes & Christmas Decorating!

[@AllisonZ7]

Move one piece of the garland over to the right at the top of the stairs (balcony) and add a wreath in the middle to cover the slack. You wouldn’t even know it isn’t long enough 😉

[@engmfj]

@@AllisonZ7 that's actually a really good idea 👍👍

[@thewadsquad]

Ooooh nice move!!

[@ritahamm1893]

I’m 64 and I still hang my 2 kids ornaments on the tree that they made in their primary years. They are 40 and 44. I have 9 grands and have homemade ornaments for them as well! I love it so much each year when I get them out!!!!

[@bethwolf5583]

Hello Kim. My husband and I have two children one is 36 and one is 34 both out of the house, not married and have no children, but they still come over every year to help decorate the tree which has paper ornaments from when they were in kindergarten homemade ornaments, memory, ornaments of trips we’ve taken and so on. To me that tree is priceless.

[@thewadsquad]

I love this so much!!!!

[@janicerepass6996]

While I've dreamt of a color coordinated perfect tree, the older I get (now I'm 65 and Nana to six lovely grandkids) the more I appreciate my tree full of homemade ornaments, special ones brought back from vacation places, gifts from my daughter who has traveled the world, and now, most precious, things my grandkids make and give to me, or ornaments I've purchased that commemorate them in some way. Your tree is magical, especially Tina. It did make me burst into tears, but I love it.

[@sunnyrlc4411]

Kim and Christmas treats and a song! What can be better❤

[@Homelifelearning]

In my home as a kid I loved all the 80s-90s style of mismatch ornaments and every piece of the living room was filled with shiny things hanging from everywhere. I absolutely loved it. As an adult with kids I'm so boring, I have matching decor and not very many special ornaments. I love everyones decorations insta or not. I love just the joy it brings to everyone do whatever makes it magical for you and your family 🥳

[@cynthiatownsend]

It is so sweet you guys get dressed up for decorating the tree, really cute. 😊

[@heidiwilson5272]

My tree is full of ornaments we've collected over the years, received for gifts, bought on vacation, been thrifted or have been made by my kids. I love our collection of ornaments and how special they are.

[@dawnsykes9171]

Me too! And I also have several vintage ones that my momma made, like crocheted ones. I’m always so careful with them. To me, it’s about memories of my childhood, and now memories of my kids and grands.

[@annfasching9464]

Thank you so much for sharing decorating your tree. It made me cry, remembering I use to do that with my kids. Now they are all grown up and live very very far away. Thank you again. Ann

[@acornsandlillies8788]

I can't imagine having family so far away. Both my family and my husband's family all live not so far, the farthest is 6 hours away the rest are all within 20 min drive. And we both come from large families

[@eileencarroll6418]

Your *MEMORY TREE" is gorgeous. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 I loved the crafted covid ornament. Vintage glass ornaments came to me when my grandparents and an elderly aunt passed. My mother made a million crafted (quilted, beaded, painted) ornaments. My dad made stained glass ornaments and I Have ornaments from dumpster diving adventures in the bins behind the Hallmark store. I bought some when I traveled, received gifts from friends and crafted, thrifted and after-Christmas-80%-off-saled some myself. And as I am downsizing from multiple large to multiple small trees, I am passing my larger nicer ornaments to younger family members and giving the excess to Goodwill.

[@brookerlay]

FIELD TRIP FEET!! So funny 😂

[@athomewithtexasgirl9888]

I love the more "homely" feel decorated trees. Im like you, our tree has all the decorations the kids made throughout the years and ornaments me and my husband had as kids. We collect ornaments from places we've been. So its more like a memory tree and we love it!

[@leananitcy7355]

Our tree is a collection of ornaments made, bought and given, so many memories. I can’t imagine doing a themed tree.

[@dixierobinson2606]

We have had a Christmas tree in our various homes for over 49 years. Never a coordinated tree. I could never give up the ones with the memories of my children’s craft attempts, the ones from various travels and activities and even a few that are generational.

[@jkingston5498]

I have 2 trees. In the family room the tree has a variety of ornaments collected over many years and the tree in dining room has gold ornaments. I love them both!

[@district12-]

We leave our tree up all year. Decorating it for each holiday! Easter, St. Patty's day, 4th of July, Veterans day, so on and of course Christmas! You only live once 🤣😂

[@TeppofTwo]

Our tree is not Pinterest worthy 😂😂😂 it’s colorful and full of my kids artwork! I love it!!!

[@thewadsquad]

I honestly think they’re more fun!!!

[@ThisMainerMom]

We are team homely feel for the tree that is kid friendly and kid decorated. I never knew there were people where mom only decorates until I saw it on KZbin!

[@Armymom1984]

I’ve seen it a lot more lately. The moms do it all to make it look picture perfect. Screw that. My daughter is 20 and she still enjoys decorating the tree with me. I don’t touch the tree until she’s able to do that with me.

[@nancybarta8167]

I so agree. my other did our when i was a kid all blue and gold.....decorator approved. We did get small trees in our rooms.

[@Borderlinegoldenretriever]

That’s sad you miss out on the experience. One of my fondest childhood memories is decorating the Xmas tree with my mom

[@engmfj]

Did I just see Kim taking tags off of something?? 😲😁

[@trinafrank4714]

Right! 😂

[@lauraemanuel9072]

Hahaha😂 I love her videos ❤

[@justPaper-n-ink]

I always loved when the kids made paper chains for our tree.

[@trinafrank4714]

My trees (15), are magazine worthy every year, with the exception of one. Every year I change our theme and color. I have an entire room in the back of my garage full of Christmas. Last year was Grinch, this year it is winter wonderland. My colors are white, gold and silver. Decorating for Christmas is my passion! On the other hand my sisters tree is all collected ornaments from her entire life. I love the simplicity and meaning behind it all. The one tree that stays the same each year is my Packer tree! Go Pack Go! My beautiful green and gold.💛💚💛💚💛 Do what means the most to you, because in the end they are not going to remember the tree, they are going to remember the family times and celebrations together. Look how much fun you and your family had decorating.

[@justPaper-n-ink]

❤❤ from a die hard Packer backer!!!!

[@taramn9727]

Good morning, everyone!

[@sallibra7924]

Morning! Have a great day! Coffee & Kim making holiday treats. Does it get any better? 🤶

[@cassipierce4632]

Good evening here 😊 nearly 11pm, have a great day!

[@laurastrout7588]

When the kids were little we had a traditional tree with the homemade and cutesy ornaments. They are now grown so I do a beautiful snowy winter tree that I would call diamonds and pearls. Very elegant, but then I'm a blingy girl. Happy Turkey Day❤

[@BARBSCOUNTRYHOME999]

Our Christmas tree is decorated with everything our kids made and we love it. 🎄

[@saltywatermelon744]

Our tree is full of memory & homemade ornaments. I think those are the best trees. 🌲

[@franceskloos1297]

I was feeling overwhelmed with all the Thanksgiving prep, I turned you on and immediately, I felt so much better. I figured if you could do all that I can push through everything. The recipes look delicious. What a wonderful way to give present to your neighbors or even the guy that comes brings your Amazon boxes.i loved your family decorating the tree and festive, it was adorable. We do a very Vintage tree, including tinsel looks like a tree from the 50s, but we love it, all the Memories from the kids, their schools all go up on the tree.🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@anissagadsden4276]

Our favorite tree is a hodge podge tree. It’s full of ornaments that my mother chose for us every year along with odds and ends. I used to put it up in a less seen part of my house to have a more beautiful put together looking tree but the last several years I’ve learned it’s a better tree!! We have fun recalling memories as we pull them out every year. It’s a tree that’s the story of our life together!❤️ Love yours!!

[@lauram4124]

Good morning party people! 😊 Kim , you already having me in stitches!!! Laura and Ava 🌹😊

[@lyndathomason303]

i have always loved the the trees that children get to help decorate. Trees like this warm the heart and bring a smill to my face. The more formal trees seem cold to me. I love years of mismatched ornaments where each one brings back a memory. I still have pink mini croched angels that my husband and I baught for our first Christmas I know they are over 58 years old because we would have celebrated 58 years if he were still here. Your tree is lovely and warm

[@christyhackney731]

It's just my 22 y.o. daughter and myself in our home. We have narrowed it down to one little black goth tree with tiny red l.e.d. lights and a black star. Up in 5 minutes, down in 5 minutes like the 2 little grinches we are 😂

[@tamekadavis9051]

Good morning and happy Tuesday ❤❤

[@elizabethhamilton6299]

Good morning from Bonnie Scotland ❤ Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 😊

[@cristinaformosa8360]

I love looking at tgeme trees but i looove decorating with memory mixed ornaments. Its a sentimental tree and bring me so much joy when i look at it. I remember the places i have been and the people who gave me the ornaments.

[@letsgrosh]

The best thing to wake up to - a holiday Kimberly whisk video!!

[@karenprince9946]

I just love Alex's christmas vest and shorts! Made me laugh. 😂

[@frankiesworldtx]

With the whipped honey, another thing you can do is add cinnamon & a splash of vanilla to the honey as it’s whipped… good on toast, on charcuterie board, & much more!

[@christineadams796]

Kim all the Christmas treats looks so good they all look delicious 🤤 it was so wonderful to see all the family decorating heartwarming it turned out beautiful too

[@allamericansnob]

Yes! I watched the Browns beat the Steelers on Thursday night. It was awesome!!!

[@TwinFlameTreasures]

43:31 Kim! Love that you’re getting a head start on the decorating! As far as the tree decor goes, we have two trees most years. One is our main tree that the kids help decorate and it is a mass of very old/homemade ornaments, think your stereotypical family tree. And then we have our other tree. This tree is dedicated to our family members in Heaven, it’s called our Angel tree. It has a color theme, and photos of those that we’ve lost over the years. It also has a ton of Angel ornaments to symbolize the angels no longer physically with us. The colors are usually gold/purple/green/white. Merry Christmas Kim! ❤❤

[@ShanYalesTale]

Spending the holidays with the Party People and Mrs. WHISK!! We have always had a traditional tree with old ornaments that are precious and must go on the tree ever year. I never do a curated or themed tree. 😊❤

[@lesliehackney7519]

We have three trees, two small ones and one big one. The small ones are special and have a theme, one is a tree with only Santa ornaments and the other small one is full of Shutterfly picture ornaments of my grandchildren and now great grandchildren. The big main tree is over 50 years of things we love (a very hodge podge and I love it!!). I love your vintage ornaments!

[@radhasircar8558]

Yay!🤸‍♀️ It's the most wonderful time🎄 of the year.. and we get to know all that🤩 Kim is up to. A double treat for all of us, Party People. 🎉 Love the decorations and delicious recipes. Soo much fun. Thanks Kim.❤❤❤

[@lauram4124]

Happy Thanksgiving to the WADS FAMILY! Thanksgiving🦃❤

[@darlenewaters11]

That is the most beautiful tree ever!!!! This is my absolute favorite tree the one you can put anything on and it beautiful 🥰❤️😊🎄

[@tmaffeo]

Def a “ homey feel” when my kids were small we all decorated it and now my kids are 43 and 45 I still use their school ornaments that they made and everything else in between now that I crochet , I make so many ornaments now and they are all on our tree . Your amazing you remind me of myself and now that I’m 65 , I still have the same energy Lolol not sure when it will Slow down but I now have two beautiful grandkids Michael 7 Marianna 5 I also put up a huge Christmas village kids just love it michael is always mobi g things around my lil mr Christmas ty for all you do ! 🌻🌻🌻

[@Shaznan5-vj1fi]

So many great recipe ideas , thanks for sharing Kim , we appreciate you 😊 x

[@tammybozza4703]

Hodgepodge tree here! That’s how I grew up, and that’s the tradition I’ve continued with my own family. Every year I give my kids and my husband a new ornament. It’s fun to look back and see what the kids were into when they were younger. They are now 19 and 22, and we all still decorate together. The garland on the stairs looks great, Kim! Maybe if you get a tree for the upstairs, you could position it makes up for the space without garland.

[@kathyerwin2008]

We have a homely feel. I love it!❤️

[@kathywolf6925]

Hi Kim.. Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for sharing your day with us,. You always put a "HAPPY" in our day.. Love Fromm Kansas🥰

[@jacquelinemassinello3451]

I have ornaments that mean something to me , and memories too . Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family ! Enjoy ❤️ Thanks for the recipes, and you still make me smile , and laugh ! ❤

[@Brey9292]

Yay! I’ve been waiting on this!

[@melissanolan4599]

Good evening everyone ❤it's party time before bed 🎉

[@lindaholliday4536]

You do you as far as decorating. When my children were young the decorations included whatever they were interested in that year or learned,from first year in school,book for reading,learning to ride two wheeler bike,football,badeball,ballet we also made homemade ornaments from cinnamon and applesauce that made the tree smell wonderful. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for doing what brings you and yours joy.

[@amyhansen6707]

We have always done the homely tree. So many hand made ornaments we should probably get another tree at this point. It is so fun to remember the memories and smile and laugh about it all over again. 🎄

[@MajaFP89]

I love decorating with different ornaments on my tree, some of them are homemade by my mom and love having them on the tree to look at❤❤

[@tamararussell-czwartacky7105]

We have a whole bunch of random ornaments that have been given to us throughout the years, homemade by our kids, or that we've bought on our travels all over the world (military family ❤). Definitely not matching or "perfect" looking, but it's what we had as kids and I love it so much. So much nostalgia. 🥰😍🎄I love your tree as well! ❤

[@vickisturgill4792]

When you have littles it needs to be reflective of your family- you can do a professional decorator tree later if you want. Ihave added new ornaments through out the years butI have some that are well over 30 years old

[@shamiladeokienanan8771]

Merry Christmas to you and your family Kim love watching you all decorate your Christmas tree

[@AmyMcknight-s6n]

I use mismatched ornaments and ornaments I like, when my kids were growing up it was decorated with their yearly ornaments as well as my childhood ornaments, they are grown now and I gave them their ornaments and just kept a few that reminded me of them. Your tree is beautiful with the decorations

[@annjohnson543]

Hi Kim. When our kids were younger my husband and I used to do the eclectic tree with homemade ornaments. Some made by the kids, some antique ornaments which came from our parents, etc. Since the kids are all grown and gone we spend Christmas in Florida, and I do a more curated beachy type tree.

[@carriesessum2505]

Another great early morning hangout! Fun ideas thanks Kim 🎄✨🤍🍯

[@rosaliecahoon425]

I have a hodgepodge of Christmas decor. I made a lot of them through our 47 years of marriage. And now I make some for my 2 grandkids. We have old ones new ones strange looking ones. It’s all good. This the season of love not suppose to look like you got Martha S to decorate. It’s all good memories for your kids. My adult boys still comment on the simple pancake breakfast Christmas morning. It’s all about togetherness and love. Early merry Christmas to you and lovely family Kim.

[@patriciamcintire]

O MY GOODNESS KIM, YOUR TREE IS SO BEAUTIFUL WITH ALL THE VINTAGE ORNAMENTS.

[@KarenToth-ck6zq]

Good morning Kim! Thank you for sharing yummy recipes! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving! ❤️🦃

[@Gabrielle.Steele]

This year we just put ornaments on our pre lit tree. Because we have a newly 1 year old who likes to touch things and this is a new tree so we didn’t know what would look good. In the past we also put some tinsel on it and some beads. But I’m really liking the just ornaments. Makes it seem less crazy and minimal

[@LindaFoyle]

Mixed decoration on the Christmas tree…yay🎄…thank you Kim and family 🎉have fun.

[@karinakissell9565]

Hodgepodge tree! I get each of my kids a new ornament every year. It's fun to get them out and remember what they liked each year.

[@bettywurm306]

Those treats look so good! And the tree decorating is such a special time. Thanks for including us! And Tina the Angel at the top 💕💕💕

[@gracenorton1009]

This is the first time viewing your video. WOW! You make cooking, decorating so fun. I loved it. Thank you for sharing and making the start of Christmas fun and enjoyable. Happy Thanksgiving and a very merry and blessed Christmas 🤶 ❤

[@dawnlee6100]

We have a tree with family collected ornaments and one matching ornaments. I love them both. 😊

[@lindsayjordan4161]

Omg I love Newlyweds! I will still watch it to this day!

[@kimberlysisti7320]

Up in PA, we whip maple syrup, like you did with the honey…it’s so good!

[@karenbaker5482]

My tree was always homey with a special ornament for each of my kids every year. Now that they're grown and in their own homes their ornaments are with them. Now I make ornaments for all (including nieces, nephews) family members, decorate the tree with them, and when they leave our family gathering, they take an ornament from the tree.

[@patriciaboychuk2994]

Our tree is decorated with ornament balls that were our wedding colors then a mix of handmade, special ornaments over the years from the kids.

[@CharletteEvans-b7c]

Kimberly…your tree is lovely! We decorate our tree with special ornaments from everywhere we have traveled both near and far. It is a great way to get a small memento from a trip and remember that trip every year when you decorate your tree.

[@kristiemichalski5152]

We have an assortment of ornaments that we have collected, were gifts, handmade from family. Sometimes I want a "beautiful" tree but I also love our tree.

[@wendystephens2730]

I had so much fun with this video. I have a real cutesy tree I made it Florida style pink and bright green and yes 🦩 and in another family room anything goes. Go wild it’s all good. I really love Alex’s vest very fitting for Florida and watching you all decorate your tree so fun. MERRY CHRISTMAS to the fam. Kim I watch you everyday. My daughter has a 4ft pink trees thrifted of course. Take care. I want the peanut butter cookie recipe please🦩🦩🦩🌴🌴🌴

[@DLRyoung]

Beautiful work on the tree! God bless, happy thanksgiving, and merry Christmas

[@tinagodfrey6890]

Oh my heart ❤️ watching you and your kids decorating your tree brings back so many memories of my girls…so excited to decorate…now it’s just me..I so miss those days😢

[@douceminique7712]

Hi Kim! Your christmas tree is so beautiful! 🎄😊

[@shelleywall5556]

Kim, we all have the same struggles with decor. I forget each year how I did it the year before but I’ve learned and remembered 2 things. Start the garland at the top of my banister not the end and start my outdoor lights at the outlet not the shrubs or I always screw them both up and you feel like you’re wasted hours of your life lol. The garland is beautiful! You can do it!

[@lisarobbinson8835]

Happy Thanksgiving ❤🦃 I already know I'm going to love this video 🤗🥰Our tree is homely, decorated with special memories!! My fav ❤🎄

[@jillcarlson2076]

I love your tree! It reminds me of the Christmas trees we dis when my daughters were young! 💗

[@sharleneknaus3664]

What a beautiful spread Kym! Success!

[@savannahjackson4929]

We have a small, decorated tree with berries and pine cones. Every year, I hang a large bauble on it that I've had since 2010 and I write the current year on it.

[@acidburn6778]

We love to just put up ornaments on the tree. We get everyone a new one every year so when they put their own one up they have special memories of when they lived at home with us but I also have a small one upstairs that I decorate different every year. It’s about memories not perfection

[@lauraemanuel9072]

I like the price tag 😂on the pot holding the fall bush 😂! You crack me up 😂! Love your videos ❤

[@penit1606]

THANKS for the snack ideas!! Love your family!! We have a mixture tree.. we have a theme with baubles, then add our family ornaments. 🥰🥰🥰

[@JuJuBee223]

Bed Bath and Body Works… 🤭😂. I always put the two together on accident too. 😂❤

[@crystalbaird5157]

For Xmas when I was 9, we got popcorn tins. That year and for the next 20 plus, we made ornaments to save in the popcorn tin. My great grandma died the year we began and the whole family were devastated. We used her patterns and embroidery floss to make keepsakes. And from her giant tin of buttons to make even more. When we moved out we had enough homemade ornaments to decorate a big tree. Representing all my grandparents and all our special memories of our childhood.

[@melaniec.8054]

My tree is filled with personal memory ornaments, my child's hand made ornaments & just random ones that represent our relatives, the things we like & things that make us smile. Like the baby hippo figure that I tied a ribbon around to make into an ornament (b/c of the song "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas", lol) For me, a Christmas tree should hold tokens of love & years of happy memories. I want our tree to say: "This is Us." ❤

[@kattroy8422]

Before we had our daughter, my tree was very themed, decorated perfectly. Same with even last year since our daughter was only a few months old. Now, we still have those ornaments, but we now have some homemade ones she made at daycare, and my mil had some from my husband that he made as a kid, and my heart absolutely LOVES it

[@azshoppingprincess4298]

We don’t have children but we have furbabies - so we do a ‘fancy’ tree and a meaningful family tree with all the mismatched beautiful (to us) ornaments 🎄

[@MissMeagan1983]

Loved the treats looks so yummy! For our tree I do have ones that are colors that I love but also have some ones my son has made in school and also we our tradation is we all get an orinament every year. So there is some variety. Im about to put the lights on ours today! Way to excited for Christmas 🎅

[@SarahK-d5i]

We only have one tree. Every year it’s decorated different but full of love and memories. I couldn’t care less about it being Pinterest worthy.

[@annarosabillai6879]

Kim the garland, you should cut it before the vertical part of the stair, you don't need to have it there! You can totally make that work 😊❤

[@carriechinn8104]

Our tree has our childhood ornaments on it, homemade ornaments we make, every trip we go on we get an ornament and every yr I get one for my husband and our 8 yr old to represent milestones etc. Definitely not Pinterest worthy but we wouldn't have it any other way. Every year we put a mini tree in our son's room also. He loves it! ❤

[@tonyasullivan1164]

I would totally say traditional because they're all ornaments passed down and I do have a hodgepodge on my tree every year and I love it

[@shelli521]

I would take all those cute little ornaments and get another tree for the top of the stairs the way you wanted, the playroom and do a more elegant tree with bulbs and such for the living room

[@theresaking183]

I love your tree. Our tree is a mish mash of ornaments from over the years with whatever the kids were into that year. We have dinosaurs, back hoe, a paper tree my daughter drew at a restaurant, American girl and now just married, first home, makes me cry. The days are long, the years are lightning. 😢(Tanya Tucker) Enjoy every single moment. 🎄🎅🏻🌲
