One lucky winner is going to win a 6 pack of assorted SmartSweets treats!

🥨 MERRY PRETZEL C O N T E S T 🥨 nothing says holiday snacks like the delicious (and addictive) @thosepretzels! 6 winners will win a bag & a @jellycat pretzel just in time to share with family & friends (or not; we don’t judge!)

I first tried Those Pretzels years ago and loved them so much that I’ve actively sought them out each year as a must for our appy table at Christmas dinner, you’ll be the star of the show and I can guarantee your guests will have the same reaction the friends in my reel had when you bring them back year after year!

Started by a local family for their own friends and family, we’re so grateful they decided to share them with us too! You can find them again this year at @vanchristmas & your local speciality grocery stores.

🥨 TAG the friends you think need to try them too! (Unlimited, one per comment)

❗️ Due to the Canada Post strike & this being a small local business, this is a LOCAL only contest. You must be able to pick up your prize in Metro Vancouver.

That’s it! Contest closes on December 13th at 9pm. Winner has 24 hours to claim their prize. Not sponsored or affiliated with Instagram! Good luck.

Don’t worry, I shared all of them! Make sure to like this post so I can share some with you too! Giveaway launching soon to get you stocked on the most addictive savoury holiday snack that you might not want to share (it took awhile to convince me to share them… )

Have you tried one of my fave holiday snacks yet?! 🥨

There’s nothing like great food to bring people

There’s nothing like great food to bring people together, and the new @whitespot_restaurants Comfort Menu is all about cozy, feel-good flavors that make you feel right at home, even when you don’t want to be anywhere near the kitchen. My family feels so at home that they annoy each other while waiting for their food to pass the time!

With scrumptious meals like the hearty Braised Beef Burger, savory Mini Yorkies, and the return of the iconic Chicken Pot Pie, there’s something to satisfy every craving and every appetite. Round out the meal with a decadent slice of carrot cake that might make you
reconsider if you’re too full for dessert. 🍰

Now featuring six new dishes designed to warm your heart and your taste buds, it’s the perfect excuse to get cozy this season at White Spot with family and friends.

Don’t forget to also take advantage of the gift card promotion just in time for the holidays as well. Grab a $50 gift card and receive a $10 cash card to use in the New Year. Not like you’ll need an excuse to come back though. You didn’t want to cook anyway, right? ;)

Also.. spot the blooper clip of my kid trying to shove me through the door because she *does not* mess around about her White Spot fries.

What would be your comfort menu go-to?!
