The Holidays are such a special time of year. I love seeing all the Christmas trees up in the stores, listening to Christmas music, and of course my most favorite of all, watching cheesy Christmas movies. Every year I make fun gifts and crafts for our neighbors and co-workers at my husband’s office while watching them. Some on repeat. Yes I’m that person. Honestly I think we all are, some just aren’t willing to admit it, ha.
This year for my gift I decided to make Coca-Cola Bottle Reindeer {tutorial below}. They’re so cute, festive, and who doesn’t love Coke?
My husband works with a lot of people, so just incase someone doesn’t get a Reindeer I also made a Cherry Coke Poke Cake for everyone to enjoy.
Cherry Coke Poke Cake

- For The Cake
- Chocolate cake mix
