For todayโs giveaway, Iโve been cooking.. or uncooking up a little something. Our dehydrator is full of macaroons, and Iโd love to give them to one of you, along with some other fun holiday treats/goodies.
Iโll also be ordering a copy of โHIIT IT!โ (which has ALL of my macaroon recipes inside!) for the winner, which is a favorite thing because a lot of love went into making it. I poured my heart, soul, and fitness knowledge into the pages, and am so excited to share it with you all.
Some of the things youโll find in โHIIT It!โ:
-A thorough HIIT background: how it works, and how to use it in your own routine
-FULL weekly fitness plans depending on how many days you can train each week
-Workouts that can be completed in 30 minutes or less with body weight and dumbbells alone
-My HIIT style of eating, macro counting, and delicious recipes that can be made in advance to be enjoyed throughout the week

New favorite, decorating the tree with my guy!
My parents, brother and I all cross-country ski, so it’s a tradition to go for a family ski Christmas afternoon.
I love baking holiday cookies for friends and family!
It’s rare for all 6 of us in my family (+ significant others) to be in the same place at the same time, so once a year we make an effort to get everyone to my parents house and we celebrate every holiday from the past year. We’re talking about Easter egg hunts, gingerbread houses, sparklers, pinatas, you name it. It is the absolutely best!
My favourite is just getting together with family and spending the day opening gifts, catching up with one another and enjoying good food!
Making Christmas cookies with my mom and cousins!
My favorite thing is the shopping!!!
Decorating the Christmas tree and putting all of the presents underneath it ๐
I love watching Christmas movies.
Love this giveaway!
My favourite holiday tradition is to grab a hot chocolate with my husband and dog and walk our government grounds, which have a gorgeous christmas light display!
My favorite tradition is hosting Christmas Eve for our family and friends.
Watching ELF!
Honestly, mine is putting up the tree and decorating it with my family!
drinking red wine and eating good food with family on christmas eve, then ugly christmas sweater party on christmas day with my fiances family– love them both for different reasons!
My favorite holiday tradition is making my Grandma’s Italian ricotta cookies every year with my mom! They’re delicious and most importantly, remind me of my Grandma.
I love listening to Christmas songs and drinking prosecco while putting up the Christmas tree with my husband!
My favorite tradition is probably Christmas baking.
A new tradition this year is our “cousins Christmas” where all of us now adult cousins get together without the “grownups” to catch up on each other’s lives as we now live all over the place!
My favorite holiday tradition is my siblings and I do a pollyanna (like a Secret Santa). We’ve been doing it for over 20 years now. And now with spouses and children, it is even more fun!
i love decorating gingerbread houses ๐
My favorite Christmas tradition is helping (eating) make tomato dill soup with my mom!
I love watching Christmas movies on ABC Family and baking Christmas cookies ๐
And I ordered HITT It! ๐
All the Christmas music!
Decorating the tree with the fam.
For as long as I can remember, I was allowed to open one gift on Christmas Eve, and it was always a new set of PJs. I’d open them, my mom would make a thermos of hot chocolate, and we’d go through one of the drive-through light shows while playing Christmas music. For some reason, getting to go out of the house in my jammies the night before Christmas always seemed really special ๐
My favorite tradition is decorating the tree then eating pizza with my fam!
Not sure if this counts as tradition but my favorite way to end the days in December is sitting on the couch with all the lights off… except for the tree lights. Such a great way to relax. A glass of wine doesn’t hurt either!
My favorite holiday tradition is going out on Christmas Eve and looking for Santa. My family opens gifts on Christmas Eve so when my sister and I were young my uncle used to take us out in his car and we would look for Santa. Every year when we got back we “just missed him” and all the presents would be out. It took me until I was about 12 to catch on!
decorating the tree
Christmas Eve church service with all the Christmas music and then a bit Italian dinner with family and friends! Can’t wait to share this with our little guy this year ๐ Thanks for a fun giveaway!!
I bake an enormous amount of cookies and then deliver them to friends and family during the holidays. Can’t wait to do the same this year.
My favorite is driving around to look at Christmas lights decorated on houses. I used to do it with my parents and my boyfriend and I do it now. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I preordered the book…cannot wait to get it! ๐ ๐
Christmas Eve at Granny’s House. My favorite! I’d love “HIIT It” this is actually the only thing on my list this year (that’s a fact)!
My favorite tradition is decorating the tree!!
My favorite holiday tradition, like any good jew, is chinese food and a movie on Christmas day. ๐ Now that I’m married I’ve had to switch up that tradition in place of spending Christmas with my husband’s family, but I am still able to sneak in some good sesame chicken during Christmas week. ๐
I’ve preordered “HIIT It!” and also got the free ebook.
I love making homemade eggnog and rum balls with my dad and fiance each Christmas!
Ordering Chinese food on Christmas Eve because there’s too much baking going on to cook a meal
Every year we make gingerbread cookies and decorate them (its my husbands tradition) and also we do Christmas eve with all the traditional polish foods. Its so good!
Watching the kids open their presents. Never gets old.
My current favorite tradition is picking out a new ornament each year for my daughter!
My favorite Christmas tradition is the whole family going to pick a tree and chop it down.
Second favorite is opening presents and leaving the wrapping paper all over the floor. It’s a mess but it’s fun like that. And we usually wrap the ribbons and bows around the dogs as we unwrap.
our tradition is to have friends and family round on christmas morning for mimosas and coffee. it’s a great way to start the celebration!
Every year since I was little, we’ve gone out for a family dinner and then taken our annual Christmas light drive to tour the best lights and decorations in our town. We give out faux prizes to the winners for “Most Elegant,” “Most Tacky,” “Most Creative Frat House,” “Biggest Inflatable,” etc. I’m in my mid-twenties and still love it after all these years!
If I’m lucky enough to be at my parents house, my mom and I always play a rousing game of Dominoes for hours. My dad hides away in his man cave ๐
Going to my grandparents house on Christmas Eve! (Aka the best day of the year!)
I love to go see Christmas lights displays.
My favourite holiday tradition is definitely watching Christmas movies while snuggled up on the couch. Bonus if there’s hot chocolate involved!
