Is Iron Man 3 a Tennessee Christmas movie?
Crash lands in East Tennessee. Christmas bar scene. Chattanooga beauty pageant.
I’m counting it. 🎄

Made in Tennessee

This holiday cocktail brings together a little bit of West Tennessee and Middle Tennessee in one glass.

We’re mixing Memphis Vodka with Peppermint Mocha Southern Cream for a festive drink that tastes exactly like Christmas.

Chocolate-rimmed glass. Peppermint. Creamy. Cozy.
Did everything go perfectly? Absolutely not.
Was it still incredible? 100 percent yes.

This is the Peppermint Patty cocktail — and if you want the proper version (less chaos, more precision), you can find it on The Sip over on the Jackson Morgan website.

Made in Tennessee

I’ve been sipping Jackson Morgan for a while now — but I really got to know the brand after sitting down for a podcast earlier this year with Morgan herself.

They’re a family company, now in nearly 40 states, and honestly… I get the hype. This stuff is smooth, festive, and dangerously easy to enjoy. A lot of folks drink it over ice — and yep, that tracks.

But today, we’re making one of their holiday recipes from The Sip lifestyle blog:
☕ Peppermint Bark Coffee

Just coffee + 1½ oz Jackson Morgan Peppermint Mocha, topped with whipped cream. Simple. Cozy. Unbeatable.

🎄 Perfect for the holidays.
🥃 Perfect for sipping.

Boston lettuce. Grown in Livingston, Tennessee. My hometown.

The lights of the Tanimura & Antle greenhouse glows this bright pink at night. It often has folks wondering if a UFO landed. Like really.

Highlight Reel: This is what Tennessee tastes like.

Goo Goo Clusters.
Dr Enuf.
Barbecue pork rinds.

Thoughtful, affordable, and Tennessee-forward snacks —
with a little history mixed in.

On Madison Avenue sits one of Memphis’ most iconic food inventions: barbecue spaghetti.

Yes. It’s exactly what you think it is.
And yes — it tastes exactly like you think it does.

I’ll be honest: it’s a once-a-year thing for me.
But it’s pretty dang good.

The Bar-B-Q Shop is also home to Dancing Pig’s Bar-B-Q Sauce, which is all over Memphis for a reason.

And those dancing pigs?
Pure Memphis iconography.

Perfect for a Tennessee snack box.
They’ve probably got a great barbecue sauce from your hometown too.

Or better yet —
Come to Memphis, and I’ll buy you some barbecue spaghetti. 🐖🍝

In 1991, Little Debbie snack cakes went to outer space. 🚀

NASA sent Pumpkin Delights aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis so astronauts could have them with their Thanksgiving meals.

So yeah —
Tennessee snacks have literally been to space.

The Goo Goo Cluster wasn’t just candy — it was revolutionary.

When it debuted, people had never tasted anything like it. Chocolate. Caramel. Marshmallow. Peanuts. All in one bite.

It became so tied to Nashville that country stars advertised it on the radio, and it was everywhere at the Grand Ole Opry. So much so that people assumed the name “Goo Goo” came from G.O.O. — Grand Ole Opry.

That’s not actually true.

✨ This Christmas magic was invented in Memphis. ✨

A theater prop.
A Christmas tree.
A switch flipped at just the right moment.

And just like that — the Magic Light Wand was born, right here in Tennessee.

🎁 I finally made the ultimate Tennessee Snack Pack — a gift-able box full of the most iconic Tennessee treats from Bristol to Beale Street.

We’ve got everything from Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes to Dr. Enuf, The Bar-B-Q Shop Dancin' Pigs BBQ sauce, Brim's Snack Foods pork rinds, and Goo Goo Clusters. I bought MoonPies but forgot to add em! (I'll do a whole video on Moon Pies, don't worry.)

If it was born in Tennessee, it might be in this box.

This one was SO much fun to make — and it made me really proud of our state’s food culture.

What Tennessee snack would YOU add to the box? 👇

Memphis Zoo Has completely changed its winter holiday festival. And it's amazing. Lantern Festival is a celebration of the natural world that inspired me with the awe of the holiday season.

Memphis Christmas Hunt! Overton Square tree lighting ceremony. Snow. Santa. Music. What more could you ask for?
