I’ve been absolutely thrilled with my Govee smart lighting setup this holiday season!
If you’re looking to add some festive flair to your home without breaking the bank, Govee has got you covered. Their LED strip lights and wall sconces have completely transformed my space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for family gatherings and holiday parties. One of my favorite projects was setting up a custom lighting scene for my living room. Using the Govee app, I programmed my lights to transition through different color schemes, syncing perfectly with my holiday playlist. It’s amazing how a little bit of smart lighting can elevate the mood of any room! For those of you who love to get creative in the kitchen, I also wanted to share a quick and delicious recipe for Christmas Bark that’s perfect for serving with your favorite holiday treats. Here’s how I made mine: Christmas Bark Recipe Prep Time: 20 minutes | Chill Time: 1 hour | Serves: 20 Ingredients: - 14 sheets graham crackers - 1 cup unsalted butter - 1 cup brown sugar (packed) - 11.5 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips - 1 cup red and green M&Ms - 2 tablespoons red and green sprinkles Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 2. Line a jelly roll pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. 3. Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. 4. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low-medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and bring to a boil. Continue boiling for 3 minutes. 5. Pour the bubbly mixture over the crackers, covering them completely. 6. Bake for 4-5 minutes, or until the edges of the brown sugar mixture become bubbly. 7. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Allow to sit for 5 minutes to melt the chocolate, then spread evenly with a spatula. 8. Sprinkle the M&Ms and sprinkles on top. 9. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, then break into pieces and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This recipe is a hit at parties and gatherings, and the festive colors pair perfectly with my Govee lights for a truly magical display.
