There are so many things I love about this time of year especially the spirit of giving and one of the ways I love to give is through holiday baking. I enjoy knowing that my gift is homemade, that it fills my home with delicious aroma’s and when I bake it always seems to bring my family to the kitchen to socialize!

We are a society filled with stuff so I love to find consumables to give to my neighbors and friends. Baked goods always seem to get devoured up through the holiday season so I enjoy giving treats and goodies! Every year I enjoy being especially creative and try to come up with Recipes that are unique and different. This year I did just that!  As my readers hopefully know by now – I am a huge Coca-Cola product fan and I always have it on hand. So, this year I decided to incorporate Coca-Cola into my traditional holiday baking!

I like shopping at Family Dollar because they always have what I need and they are within a close proximity of my home. I headed there to gather some baking supplies and of course my Coca-Cola! They had a fun Coca-Cola holiday display so finding what I was looking for was really easy!

When I had all the ingredients I needed I headed home, turned on the Holiday tunes and began mixing and baking!

To make your own  Coca-Cola holiday spiced bread with glaze,  In a large bowl add 2 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup of Coca-Cola, and 2/3 cup of vegetable oil.

Mix the wet ingredients together with a whisk.  Next add 2 cups sugar, 4 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Pre-Heat oven to 350 degrees and coat pans with cooking spray. Spoon batter into pans until mixture reaches 1 inch below the top of pan.  Bake 40-50 minutes until toothpick inserted in loaf comes out clean.

While the bread is baking you can mix up a quick and easy Coca-Cola glaze.  Mix 1 cup powdered sugar and 1/4 cup Coca-Cola in a bowl.  Drizzle Coca-Cola glaze over loaves of bread.

I love to create fun over the top tags and packaging for my baked goods.  Print off my free printable tags below, then cut out the tags and punch a hole in the corner of each tag.

Cut large pieces of cellophane, wrap the cellophane around your bread loaf and secure with a piece of tape.  Bring the sides of the cellophane to the top center of your loaf of bread and tie a piece of jute to hold the cellophane in place.  Next cut and attach a few pieces of ribbon using the jute to tie the ribbons in place.  Last add the Coca-Cola Spice Bread tag on the jute and tie in place.

Tie jute around the top of your Coca-Cola bottle, add additional ribbons and Joyful tag tie in place with jute.

What I love about this bread is that you can make it in a large loaf to accommodate a large family or small single sized loaves to cater to a single person! I feel it is important to bring Joy to those that are near and dear to me. Delivering a warm loaf of Holiday Spiced Bread to my neighbor’s and Co-workers always seems to bring a smile to their face!
