Sugar & Spice

• A Lori Mitchell design for ESC & Company

Step into the warm and inviting kitchen of Mrs. Claus, where the aroma of freshly baked cookies fills the air and the joyful spirit of the holidays dances in every corner. Today, let me introduce you to a delightful figure by Lori Mitchell, Sugar & Spice, who embodies the essence of those cherished memories of baking cookies with loved ones.

Dressed in a rosy red dress and a jolly Santa hat, Sugar & Spice is a vision of holiday cheer. Her peppermint-striped apron, adorned with a charming Christmas tree, protects her outfit as she indulges in the sweet magic of baking. And let's not forget those adorable mismatched socks— one with cheerful green stripes and the other with a playful combination of light and dark stripes. It's those little details that make her so endearing.

In her capable hands, Sugar & Spice cradles a platter piled high with freshly baked cookies, a delectable treat for all who gather in the kitchen. Oh, the joy of sharing these homemade delights with family and friends, creating a bond that lasts a lifetime. The books stacked beneath her tell stories of years spent perfecting recipes and decorating techniques—the light green Sugar book, the vibrant red Christmas Cookies book, the green checkered Joy Baking book, and her favorite, the green-striped Holiday Home book.

As Mrs. Claus, I can't help but appreciate the sentiment behind Sugar & Spice. She serves as a reminder of the treasured memories and traditions that shape our holiday season. Place this charming figure in your kitchen, and let her presence inspire you to continue the time-honored tradition of baking with your children and grandchildren. Together, create new memories that will be passed down through generations, forging a bond as sweet as the cookies you bake.

So, my dear friends, as you prepare to embark on your own baking adventures, let Sugar & Spice be a joyful companion in your kitchen. May her presence evoke the warmth and love that surrounds this festive season. Embrace the traditions, savor the flavors, and create memories that will forever be cherished. And remember, in the kitchen, a little sugar and a dash of spice can bring holiday magic to life.
