Christmas in Canada
Christmas Day took us north to Canada—sledding as a family, building a balloon igloo beneath shimmering Northern Lights, writing to Santa at H0H 0H0, and gathering for a late-night Réveillon feast. Food, play, and reflection blended into a day that felt both deeply festive and quietly meaningful.
Christmas in Brazil
A tropical Christmas inspired by Brazil’s midsummer season—panettone and açaí, carnival crafts, samba dancing, coconut snow cones, jungle-themed games, and a vibrant Rio backdrop. A bright, playful day where Christmas met the rainforest.
Christmas in Indonesia
A tropical twist on Christmas: feather and chocolate “trees,” spicy coastal dishes, shadow-puppet stories, cocoa-volcano games, and a candy-cane cannon that stole the show. A bright, playful Indonesia-meets-Minnesota celebration of flavor, creativity, and Christmas joy.
