People on St. Simons are feeling especially festive this holiday season. We even spotted some decked out driftwood! (Image courtesy Bobby Haven, The Brunswick News).

The month of December is often a special time of year when friends and family gather together to both reminisce about the past year and celebrate the year to come. We heard from our Facebook fans that their traditions involve everything from fun games and ornament swaps to special meals and activities. You know that at SeaPak, we love to cook. And, isn’t baking a “must” around this time of year? We think so! In that spirit, and in the spirit of giving, we’re hosting a giveaway to make it easier to bake some delicious cookies for those you love.

If you want a chance to win a cookie cutter, simply comment on this post with your favorite holiday tradition, memory or meal. We’ll randomly select 75 entries Wednesday, December 14^th at 2:00 p.m. EST to receive a lighthouse cookie cutter.

Why a lighthouse shape you might ask? It’s in honor of our very own St. Simons Island lighthouse. You might have seen it on our packaging. In case you’re unfamiliar, it’s the oldest brick structure in coastal Georgia and is still in operation today.  You can see a picture and read more about our heritage here.

We’ve also included our favorite sugar cookie recipe below. They’ll melt in your mouth!

We hope this sweet treat will bring a little coastal flair to your Christmas baking. Happy Holidays from all of us at SeaPak to you and yours. May this season be filled with laughter, love and the joy of the season!
