The Holidays are upon us in a huge way and we all know that the countdown is on until the big man makes his appearance. In my house, it's always rather chaotic the night before Christmas, and everyone tends to have a tough time falling asleep. I know that my family isn't alone in this so... now I've got a solution; this Creamy Dreamy Sleepy Time Drink!

We've all heard the old adage to drink a cup of warm milk to settle the mind and the stomach before bed. Even Santa himself enjoys milk and cookies during his one night trip around the world. This Creamy Dreamy Sleepy Time Drink is a more wholesome version of the classic warm milk that's sure to help soothe and send you off to dream land.

Since nothing goes better with warm milk before bed than cookies, I've got some of my most favorite cookies here! Mulino Bianco cookies come in a variety of flavors, and I would be hard-pressed to find a favorite between the Chocolate Pan Di Stelle, Cuoricini, or Baiocchi.

Mulino Bianco is Italy's #1 brand of cookies, and it's easy to see why with their high quality. They use only eggs from free-range hens and cream and milk that's produced in Italy. It doesn't stop there though, they are also proud of their wheat, sugar, and vegetable oils, which they monitor through the supply chain and to our tables.
