Weekend To-Do List: Holiday Movies 🎥 & Chill 🌟Munching on snacks and sipping on a refreshing @ranch2o Vodka Soda with just a hint of cranberry. I’m a HUGE fan of canned cocktails. They are easy and super convenient - enjoy them straight from the can or pop them in a festive glass if you want be to fancy. Plus, with only 150 calories per serving, you can eat more cookies! 😉⠀ ⠀ Love the fact that this company is #Dallasbased + #womanowned! Make sure you pick up a case when you’re buying items for Christmas dinner! Available at many liquor stores, but check their website for the one closest to you! 📸: @victoriadavis4
