[@imtaramichelle]

MY FAVE DAY OF THE SEASON!!! our annual family christmas cocktail competition!!! who's presentation was YOUR favorite?!?! 🥂

[@kellybailey8683]

Presentation wise, I would say you and your dad were tied. It looked like so much fun for everyone

[@melissalewis8803]

Tara, my drink won a national competition. Do this next year. Lacy pink martini 1 cup Chambord liquor 1cup vanilla vodka 1 cup cranberry juice 1 cup heavy whipping cream. Stir together in pitcher then pour drink amount in shaker. Shake then sift out into martini cup that is rimmed in pink sugar and float 3 raspberries per drink. Please try it. I do believe you will win.

[@krissyk354]

HAPPY CHRISTMAS COCKTAIL DAY! So glad to see the fam once again 😊 for presentation i would say carter and mitch tied. carter's drink looked very creamy and chocolatey and mitch's had so much coconut flakes on it that really brought it out.

[@kellyg4807]

Mitch the Master Mixologist!

[@lindagauvin9809]

This is so great. I love the family vibe. This is what the holidays are all about. By the way, Mitch is getting so much more comfortable on camera. He's come a long way baby!!

[@andieusebio]

30 minutes of fun and family content ❤ we love!

[@shelbylewis395]

Your dad’s reaction to your presentation at your house😂 “so it’s gonna be like that huh?”😂

[@eerinoneil]

[@Ali-ut3yg]

Couldn't stop smiling while watching this!! Family is what the holidays are all about

[@Daniellei2302]

All the faces Mitch pulled were on point in this vlog!

[@samanthagomez3929]

Your last vlog with the series idea is such a good idea! A book series would be kind of like a book club😭 & the competitions in its own series… love love LOVE!

[@imtaramichelle]

[@918melissa]

LAUHING OUT LOUD while you make your cocktails!! Merry Christmas to y'all! xxx

[@allisons2319]

Nonstop smiling/laughing at the cocktail competition. Makes me happy seeing a happy family who cares about each other. I love your moms reaction to Carters drink

[@Galaxyy_Dee]

OMG MITCHS FACE WHEN HE TASTED MATTHEWS DRINK AND THE CLOSE UPS I LITERALLY DIED LAUGHING! 😭🤣🤣

[@imtaramichelle]

THE DRAMA LOL

[@xiaminfinitex]

Seems like the general consensus is everyone was waiting for this video. And it did not disappoint. Your family is the best and the fact that this is now a tradition is the sweetest!!

[@mysonruns]

This was so FUN! Your family knows how to have a great time! The Christmas bulbs were so cute Tara!

[@kelsey_forrest]

Such a wholesome vlog!! I love seeing Carter & Matthew!

[@bekkadowland]

I look forward to this competition every year ever since you guys started doing this!

[@elleireland24]

I love how Brady wiggles her whole bum, not just her tail when she sees you. It’s the cutest thing.

[@jodbaatiya3274]

ahh i love the wholesome fam content!! I’ve been watching you since 2015, and I really wanna say that you inspire me to be the best version of myself and hope you’re always happy and healthyy 💗

[@Rachelhancock8]

I absolutely love watching these videos! Just seeing the dynamic with your family brings me so much happiness! It so cute to watch!! ❤

[@katherinetusa181]

Tara videos make the day better

[@kristenleblond5047]

Honestly, I look forward to the cocktail competition every year. It always gives me great inspiration when I am hosting a party. Congrats again, Mitch!!! I do think that your presentation, Tara was top notch!!!

[@sheena2389]

I just can’t help but smile watching you with your family. I hope to have a family like that too one day. ❤

[@_Rikki]

Missed a Prime opportunity to call his drink a Chocoholic. 😂 So much fun! Love seeing you enjoy your time with your family. I haven’t had a family for a long time outside of my husband. ❤

[@Itsmelroseplace]

I remember that vlog when you broke down and were thinking about moving back. Broke my heart to hear you say you miss your parents and family. But you’ve grown so much and I can tell you’re happier and at peace back in Toronto. I might be bias too because I’m from Canada and I love a Canadian home girl vlogger!

[@jennduvall31]

You should do a summer version too. Summer drinks and a pool party

[@peerydestiny]

Okay but a red velvet bow tied to the top of your drinks would’ve been the CHERRY on top

[@imtaramichelle]

omg I WISHHHH I did that

[@wanderingcrowe]

Wait.. 4 years?!! No way has time gone by that fast! I've been watching you since your LA house... So wild!

[@sosimplystellar]

Haha the chaos of the competition was so fun!! Love seeing the family interactions!

[@jenniferbaldwin8972]

I need the Mitch drink recipe ASAP! Both yours and your dad’s presentation was ✨✨✨👏👏👏

[@rlmendy]

I'm so glad for you that you did move back to Toronto. In my opinion, you can travel and see many beautiful, fun places but nothing can really replace family time. When your parents are in your vlogs, they seem so genuinely happy to be doing the things with you. That is just priceless and those are my favoritevlogs of yours. Your parents seem pretty cool. . Maybe it's just me, but you seem calmer in Toronto than you did in LA. Looking forward to your 2024 content. Happy holidays.

[@amandafarish87]

Funny you say that about fashion, I was born in 1986 I remember when in UK (im Scottish) Nike poppers where huge the joggers with pop buttons up the side, where huge and now start to make a come back, same with dresses and jeans!

[@shagunrajpoot619]

Fav video of 2023.PERIOD

[@KMusicStudios]

Watched one of your 2018 vlogs the other day! You've grown SO much as a person and it's amazing you have that footage to look back on! :)

[@ruthieannk]

Taras dad's reaction to the chocolate cocktail is soo funny

[@libbyreid8652]

I love watching this competition every year!! I hope you and your family have a happy holiday season Tara ❤️

[@verenasjournal]

Honestly my favourite video on your channel every year, I have been telling my family since last year that we need to do a similar competition. I was actually laughing out loud so many times during this vlog, especially (and I kinda feel bad for that) when you were spilling the drink in your kitchen and then there was an ad break right after that, I was laughing for the entire break 😂 you just seemed so stressed but also excited and this would have totally happened to me, I love it ❤ thank you for sharing this tradition with us again :)

[@martindeporres7169]

Your dad is so funny. You have the best father.

[@elainemabray2919]

You did have the best presentation! Of course Mitch won. Your moms drink looked good and Matt’s!

[@jordanhiner7598]

I’m obsessed with your family I look forward to watching the annual CCC every year I always die of laughter 😂😭 Happy holidays Tara!!! 🤍🎄✨

[@dare.hallett]

Not me saying “HELLO BUBBALOO!” When seeing Brady 🥰😍 I have also resorted to calling my own dog this. Merry Christmas Tara and Fam!! 🤍

[@Lucillee.e]

Your drink was so cute! Also I love this annual vlog and I get so excited for it when the Christmas season comes around! ✨✨✨✨

[@margotfaury1855]

My ALL time favorite video of the christmas season ❤❤

[@aswecanalwaysbe4626]

I love this family idea. Especially for the adults ❤

[@amandafarish87]

I've got my baileys on ice watching you guys ❤

[@lisamccalla7667]

I was drawn to the color of ur dad’s drink and it was simple but magical looking. Then the chocolate one looked yummy. I like the idea of yours with the ornament. BUT as ur friend said it looked like a light bulb 😅 maybe if u had jazzed it up a bit. But the best part of it all anyways. Is ur family and friends and the love and fun and the time u take with each other. I miss that in mine. Be safe ❤🙏🏾👍🏾🥰

[@Camilamaguna]

Omg we had a cocktail competition party and this was me the night before trying to make a cocktail 😂😂😂

[@jacqueline6436]

Thank you for making my evening more festive 😍🥹❤

[@batmanshousewife]

[@Sasyemy.]

Matt: "it tastes like a$$" Mitch: "...I like it" 😂😂😂

[@CaliAnimalLover]

I loved the way you served yours in the ornaments. Very pretty, and festive. But Mitch’s was amazeballs! It looked so pretty. Did it taste minty? And what was the white around the lip of the glass? White chocolate? White mint hard candy crushed up? What a great idea for a get together though.

[@graygeorge7219]

hi tara, love your videos sm, been watching since the OG family cruise vlogs in 2014. have you ever thought about going back thru old videos and finding clips of you saying “what if i lived in toronto?” etc like you referenced, and putting together a bunch of your thoughts that turned to reality? could be a really cool video

[@teamueller]

my fave video of the year!

[@peerydestiny]

“I’m not a very stable person. Mentally or physically” 😂😂😂

[@imtaramichelle]
