As colder weather sets in and families stay put for the holidays, many may be searching for festive ways to enjoy the season from the warmth and safety of home. The Red & Black has compiled a list of four locally-based crafts and goodies to battle the cold and celebrate the holiday season.
1000 Faces Coffee’s Solstice holiday blend
The warmth and caffeine of a hot cup of coffee couldn’t be more welcome on mornings with 30-degree temperatures. 1000 Faces Coffee released its first-ever holiday blend, Solstice, which features flavors like apple cider, mulled wine and dark chocolate. Available both in-house and bagged for at-home brewing, this blend was designed “for accompanying quality time with loved ones” and “celebrating the return of gradually longer days.”
