Excitement is in the air for this Holiday Season. And having these colorful Christmas Red Velvet Snow Globe Cupcakes added to it.
The Season is just around the corner and the excitement of everyone is evident. Starting with making a list and checking it twice. Oh, no! Not finding out who’s naughty and nice. That’s for Santa Claus! What I am trying to say is making to-do lists. Such as what gifts to give to the people we care about.
I would make a list of what we will have for our Christmas dinner. One that I truly like to prepare is the Christmas Red Velvet Snow Globe Cupcakes. They are so perfect for Christmas because of the snow globe Christmas designs on the cupcakes.
Not only they are so pretty to look at, but also delicious, soft, and moist. They are red velvet cupcakes! For sure everyone will enjoy those cupcakes. I remember my Mason Jar Snow Globes I made before. I think they are nice to have them paired together.

Before removing the cupcakes from the oven, test with a toothpick or a knife. If the middle is dry take out from the oven.
