Thanksgiving is just a few days away and you know what that means? It’s time to start planning for Christmas!

Since we’ve recently moved, I’m working up a whole bunch of new traditions for my little family and these Peppermint Mocha Whoopie Pies are just the start of my Christmas baking plans.

I’ve got a recipe list as long as my arm and honestly, I probably won’t get to make them all this year. But, I’m sure going to try.

One of our biggest holiday traditions is decorating the house on Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) and this year we are super anxious to get the holiday party started.

So, instead of decorating early, I’m channeling my energy and baking up a storm of delicious Christmas treats.

The kids are loving it, but I’m not sure my pants are quite as happy.

These Peppermint Mocha Whoopie Pies were the first on my list and I’ve got to tell you…they are amazing…

Your family is going to love them!

I started with a basic Whoopie Pie recipe and then altered the ingredients to make it more festive.

They came out better than I imagined and will likely become a standing recipe on my Christmas baking list.
