Merry Christmas, all! Next Saturday is Christmas and I'll have a house-load of guests, so this Spotlight is my final one before the New Year, and possibly my last opportunity to wish you a wonderful holiday season. I hope your Christmas is filled with family, friends, love, joy, and, of course, fabulously decorated cookies!
In case you still have some last-minute cookie decorating to do, you're in luck because this week's hot list* contains some stunning Christmas cookies for inspiration. Special congrats this week to @Icingsugarkeks for earning the coveted cover spot (I just love how richly textured her cover cookies are) and also to newcomers to the Spotlight, @Jossy and @Mari Katagiri. Also, welcome back to the very talented @ChapixCookies who took a brief hiatus from cookies. It's wonderful to see her perfect and always delightful cookies again on the site!
Last but not least, thank you to all of this week's honorees for this collection of cookies. Just looking at them is truly a wonderful Christmas gift!

So that no one has an unfair advantage in making it onto a hot list, the algorithm is secret even to site administrators. Only our platform developers know the code, which has been exhaustively tested by those developers and Cookie Connection staff.
