Let’s face it: It’s been a rough year. As the holiday season approaches, some of us are struggling to get in the spirit and find much reason to “ho-ho-ho.” While we can’t fix the economy or end the pandemic or help you find lasting existential peace, we can at least offer you this: Cranberry Jell-O shots! That’s sort of the same thing, right?

Maybe not, but they’re pretty, they’re yummy, and they’re as seasonal as Santa himself.

Walk to the produce section. Grab a bag of fresh cranberries. Now you have everything you need.

All you have to do is grab a sauce pot and put together the Jell-O shots — including making the sugar-encrusted cranberries that go on top. Some people might say this is an optional step, but making these frosted sugar cranberries to top your cranberry Jell-O shots just makes good horse sense, and it wouldn’t feel like the holidays without them.
