The most wonderful time of the year is here! The Christmas Holiday! There are lights everywhere, Christmas movies playing on every channel, and delicious smells coming from every kitchen. Some of the best goodies are usually made with the people we love. So here are Christmas snacks you can make with the ones you love!

1. Christmas Popcorn

Pop some popcorn and add some sweet treats. Christmas popcorn is one of the easiest snacks to make. You can add everything from red and green M&M's too melted chocolate and sprinkles! The popcorn will add a bright color pop to it! A great treat to make when you want to watch a Christmas.

2. Pretzel Hugs

These cute bite-sized snacks are so easy to make! Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Then toss some pretzels onto it. I think the squared ones work the best for this but you can use any type you want. Then, on each pretzel, put a Hershey's kiss them. Then pop the pan in the oven for about 5 minutes on low heat. After about 2 minutes of cooling, put an M&M on top of each of the Hershey's so that it melts into it. Sweet, Savory, and oh so delicious!

3. Chocolate Covered Pretzels

This might be one of the easiest ones out there. Melt any chocolate of your choice. Personally, on pretzels, I like milk chocolate the most. Put down some parchment paper on a pan and you're ready to dip! After you dip your pretzels in the chocolate, place them on the parchment paper to dry. While they are still wet, you can sprinkle Christmas colored decorations on them. You can also drizzle colorful chocolate on them! When they dry, you can pack them up into festive baggies and hand them out to your friends.

4. Hot Chocolate

This is definitely a classic. You can never go too wrong with hot chocolate. No matter how you make it, it will be delicious. You can make it from a powder or other ways! At any convenience store, you can find many types of hot chocolate mixes. Or you can melt chocolate and pour it into hot milk (not really sure if that works). Toppings are also super fun! You can add sprinkles and other candies! I personally love to add marshmallows but, whipped cream can also always make you happy!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
