Never heard of Canada Day, but it sounds awesome! I like all the different ideas you shared here, specially the cupcakes ( I have sweet tooth) they look delicious!
This is the first time I’ve heard of Canada Day. Leave it to the Canadians to celebrate something so cool as unity. I’m loving the Canada Day drink. It looks so sparkly and refreshing. We have a dinner party coming up this weekend and I think I’m going to add it to the menu!
Those mason jars look bomb! Canada really seems to know how to party!! I plan a visit now but only on February-ish (it has to be near my Birthday date lol)
OMG These look so good and refreshing. I’m Stateside, but my folks are actually visiting Canada as we speak. Those cupcakes and the drink, oh, man! I could so use those about now.
