Bundled up and braving the chill, we joined the Cook family to explore Sparta’s Kriskindlmarkt, where the air smelled of cinnamon and holiday cheer. The highlight? My sister meeting her long-lost twin, the Grinch! The cold only added to the magic, and with a warm cup of hot cocoa in hand, we wandered through the lights and laughter, soaking in every festive moment.

We browsed the little shops, hunting for Christmas treasures. Then, just down the steps and off the beaten path, I found the one...

Dear Mini Donuts,
You’re everything I didn’t know I needed. I’ll never forget you. Stay hot, stay fresh, and wait for me—I’ll be back next year.
