How to Create a Chocolate Coca-Cola Mug Cake with Share a Coke
Are you knee-deep in the busy holiday season yet?
The holidays are pure insanity around here, not just in my personal life, but here on the Divas Can Cook as well.
My inbox gets swamped with questions, comments and invitations. It’s really exciting and exhausting, but yet every holiday I always seem to get through it just fine. How you ask? Two words, my husband!
Seriously guys, I honestly don’t know where I’d be without that amazing man!
When the kitchen is a wreck after a full day of filming cooking videos, he swoops right in and cleans everything up.
When I’m stressing over holiday post deadlines he takes the boys on fun adventures to get them out of the house so that I can have peace and quiet to work.
Oh and I can’t even count the multiple times he’s done emergency grocery store runs to pick up items I always seem to forget!
He truly is my saving grace around this time of year and that is why my I’m recognizing him as my “unsung holiday hero”!
I’ve teamed up with Coca-Cola’s #ShareaCoke to shine the spotlight on the amazing people in our lives that go the extra mile to make the holidays extra special.
Whether it’s the friendly cashier that always greets you with a warm smile, the dedicated teacher that helps your child make holiday gifts or even your neighbor who passes out homemade holiday cookies, these unsung heroes often go unnoticed.
Yet, they go above and beyond to make sure the people around them are happy. This busy holiday season is the perfect time to show them just how much we appreciate them. Nothing says thoughtfulness like a customized gift! Coco-Cola’s #ShareaCoke allows you to create personalized coke bottles with a name or phrase.
They are great as affordable stand-alone gifts and stocking stuffers or paired in a gift basket.
To show my husband just how much I appreciate him I created this quick and easy chocolate Cocoa-Cola mug cake gift. He isn’t much of a cook and he loves chocolate cake and Coca-Cola so this was the perfect gift for him. I placed it on the driver’s seat in his truck right before he was about to run one of my many last minute grocery store errands.
He really loved the gift!

I would nominate my sister . She helps the needy unselfishly. She’ clips coupons and the products (mostly household) that she saves money on she shares with members of her church, usually single moms or dads and the elderly. In my office we adopt a family for the holidays and when I noticed that everyone was purchasing clothing and toys I called her and asked her if she was willing to donate some of her products. Without hesitation she said to me I will put some things together for the family come by and pick it up. I’m so proud and blessed to have her as my sister. She honors God daily by helping others.
My husband!!! He’s ALWAYS there when l need him! Through the good times and bad times he’s there. When I’m sick or my son is sick he’s there! No matter what it is he’s there for us. And he doesn’t hesitate to step up to the plate either. He’s ALWAYS see the positive in any situation. Toni Braxton said it best: “I love me some him!!”
Hi, l just wanted to comment on you cooking the sweet potato fries. Your recipes are so great, it’s hard to imagine that you are having challenges. I cut my sweet potatoes kinda thick and coat with olive oil in a heated skillet on top of the stove for a few minutes and then I put the skillet in the oven to finish. They came out crunchy, chewy, and delicious. I know you didn’t ask, so forgive me for putting my 2cent in.
Thank you so much for your wonderful, delicious recipes!
Happy Holidays!!!
My parents! They’ve made Christmas special no matter how little they had themselves. It was always about making everyone happy around them. They are two of the most selfless people I know. I’m blessed to still have them both here and blessed that my kids get to experience their greatness now.
my husband works so hard to take care of his family
My cousin Cissi is my unsung hero. My brother passed away in 2013 a few days after I had surgery. Cissi came over from a small town 30 miles away and helped clean my house and sort through a lifetime of “stuff” to pack up, throw away and donate. She offered her home to me for what was going to be 2 months while contractors updated my house so I could sell it. It turned out to be 15 months. Can you imagine a houseguest for 15 months? She cooked, cleaned, and was a safe haven for me (along with her husband and two dogs) while I healed and planned for my next steps in life. Today, I live around the corner from her. She has been there for me through the most horrendous of circumstances. We have had many conversations, but my favorites are when we go to lunch. I always wanted to get to know her better, and I got my wish! She volunteers for the local soup kitchen, has hosted several foreign exchange students and her goodness is never-ceasing. She just loves people and it shows!
Myself. Not tooting my own horn but I strive to make myself happy every day. I thank God for waking me up daily to see another day, to spend it with family and friends. I am the thread that holds it all together and believe family should come first after God. I love myself and the fore I am able to love my husband, daughters, grandson and 2 dogs.
My mother is my hero. Growing up she was basically a single parent. We live in different states now but we talk all the time. She reminds me to keep GOD first in everything. I can call her day or night with any problem that I have. I am an adult but will forever be her baby and I am TOTALLY ok with that.
My sister (Olivette) is my saving grace hands down! She will travel to the end of the earth to go to any store and/or establishment for me no matter the time of day or distance! She is definitely one of a kind & I love her for that! Mind you, whenever she does an errand for me she out-of-pocket until I reimburse her which can take up to a week, sometimes, but she never complains. It’s funny because over the weekend I had a Christmas party and guess what she left the party to get for me? Coca-Cola; Coke-Cola always put smiles on my guests faces!!!
When my san comes home from California, and we can all be together ❤️❤️
My mother, grandma and almost 2 year old daughter is my unsung hero. Without them I dont know what i would do. They are amazing and helpful, no matter what I’m going through they always seem to find a way to make my day go better. We stick together no matter what. Now we are the 4 musketeers! We try to help everyone with the little we have and make it work because its a great feeling to give and put smile on people’s faces when they least expect it.
The person that makes my holiday special is my mom. Christmas was just one of the holidays that she loved watching her make pies, fixing dressing for her turkey, her mac and cheese all with a big smile. Shes gone now she passed away 8yrs ago from cancer. But I now make some of her favorites for the ones I love and and see her beautiful smile. And I keep all these beautiful memories for the big smile I now have of my own.
My granny is the most wonderful person I’ve ever known and as I only see her at christmas she makes my hollydays unique.
Hey ladies, my unsung holiday hero is my Daddy. For as long as I can remember he was always the one cooking our Sunday dinners or big holiday meals. Once I got older & wanted to make his recipes, he was happy to share & show me exactly what he did or where I could deviate. Once I took over cooking for the holidays, he was always happy to offer up his kitchen. After college & a baby, I could still call & count on him to tell me what ingredient I was missing or something I could substitute because I couldn’t go back to the store. He always could tell when I was getting flustered with cooking with a baby so he’d reason with me & tell me to “take careoif that boy.” This summer, my Daddy went to live with Jesus, so for the holidays I’m making his favorite dishes & taking care of my boy just like he told me to.
My Husband is definitely my unsung hero. He is currently working two jobs so that I can go to college. Whenever I am too busy to clean or pick up something for our 4 kids he’s right there ready and willing to help out even after working two jobs. This post certainly reminded me to show him just how much he means to me and none of his efforts is in vain. Happy Holidays Monique!
My hero is my husband. From the time that I was diagnosed with cancer he has been my stronghold. He takes such perfect care of me and so protective. He was sent to me by God. He is the greatest husband, father and grandfather this side of heaven.
My mom is my unsung hero. She is a state away from me and my family and still is able to put a touch directly on our lives. She’s called daily while shopping to read the back of boxes, ratings and reviews, make sure everyone would like what she is looking at and on and on. It seems bothersome on the surface but I know it’s because she is so thoughtful and really thinks about us daily.
My eight year old nephew. Watching the innocence of a child who believes in santa brings joy to my holiday!
My great grandmother is what makes my holidays special. She knows how to bring the family together and keep the drama at minimum. She always reminds us that regardless of what petty fights and pointless drama that may occur we, as a family, should always be able to come together as one and remember that we are all we have in this world. She always gives a reality check but in a loving way and I am grateful to God that he has allowed her to be apart of our lives.
The person that makes my holidays and every other day special is my one and only child Darrell. Darrell is a sweetheart who makes my heart smile everyday. Darrell is a high school senior that will be graduating in May with his high school dimploma AND an AA Degree from Community College. My son Darrell has really worked his heart out to accomplish such a great thing and also has a job as well at a restaurant. I would love to win this for him and put a smile on his face like he has done for me for the last 18 years just to let him know even more how very proud I am of him and how he makes ALL of my days holidays❤️
The people who make Christmas special for me are my children. I have 4 adult children and if they aren’t able to make it for Christmas I’m not motivated to cook or bake for the holiday.
Now, I have a grandson who lives 60 miles or more away and hopefully, we’ll be able to get together and make a gingerbread house cake before Christmas.
My parents make the holidays extra special because I need help taking care of myself tight now and they have stepped up and made me feel so secure and loved.
My hero is my grandson who is twelve. I had two strokes this year. My grandson and I always put up our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. This year I was to depressed to put it up and he said grandma God did not bring you this far to leave you. No we did not put it up but he gave me a new look on life.
My sisters always make the holidays special for me! It’s a special time for us to come together and enjoy each other’s company. We use our time watching movies we saw as kids, eating as much junk food as possible, and planning next years goals! There are four of us in total and live in four different states so every moment we get with each other we try to cherish because we understand tomorrow is never promised!
My husband and my 2 boys. They r my life. They help me out so much. My husband is a truck driver he is the main income in the home. Last month he got to a truck accident. A other driver in the other truck ran a red light and crash into my husband truck. My husband truck flip over and my husband was stuck in the truck. The fire fighter had to cut him out of the truc. He was stuck in the back of the wheel. I had got a call for the police they said my hubby was in a accident. I said r he ok they said we taking him to the hospital. I hall butt down there. I got there the Doctor told me he not going to able to driver anymore. I said y he said your husband had a stroke and broke his left arm. I just started crying. He took care of me now its time for me to take care of him. Sorry divas for the long story. Me and my hubby love you and your recipe. My hero is my husband and kids.
My Mom!! Sha has always gone above and beyond during the Holidays and made sure that we always had a fabulous Holiday season. But more importantly she has always made sure that we had a great life! I don’t know how she did it but she raised six kids and worked full time as a Nurse and went to college all at tge same time. She is the personification of excellence and love. She keeps me smiling and is love I aspire to be great just like her.
I would say my daughter she has been through so much this year and I’ve seen how strong she really is she encouraged me like never before she’s my inspiration!
My husband he works over 40 hours a week and goes to school full time plus he also makes sure to find time to make me and our 3 kiddos feel special as well! I don’t know how he does it!!! I am so excited for his college Christmas break so we can spend extra time together!!!
My better half….. he’s amazing in everyway……17yrs strong
I would have to say my kids.. they have that sparkle about them that see’s Christmas as a season of LOVE. I absolutely love being a parent and experiencing Christmas through the eyes of a child.
I AM A HOSPICE NURSE. MY PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE MY UNSUNG HEROS IN MY LIFE! DESPITE THAT THEY ARE DYING THEY STILL MANAGE TO BE UPBEAT, AND ALWAYS THERE FOR EACH OTHER. THEY REMIND ME EVERYDAY THAT FAMILY IS NUMBER 1 AND EVERY DAY IS IMPORTANT. WE ARE NOT PROMISED TOMORROW SO WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL AND APPRECIATIVE FOR EVERYONE IN OUR LIVES NOT JUST AROUND THE HOLIDAYS!

My wife Dena adds a special touch during the holidays. I love to see her go out the way to do the best for our house hold. I know in her heart she wants to do more with her given potential but she tables that desire to take care of two wonderful girls. Its a tough job being super mom, cheerleader and discipliner.
I honestly can’t pick ONE person. I have five (5) grandchildren, and each one is so precious to me. They all make Christmas so special. I’m beyond blessed to have these kids in my life. ♥
MY UNSUNG HERO IS ALL OF MY TEACHERS OVER TE YEARS. THEY HAVE SHAPED AND MOLDED ME IN THEIR CLASSROOMS.
My daughter makes the Holiday wonderful. Even at 17, she still wants to spend time doing thing like putting up decorations and wrapping gifts. I hope she keeps that passion and love for the season when she has children of her own.
I grew up in a rather large family, but over the years, I’ve lost a lot of significant people in my life including both parents and just recently my only brother. So now, all the only persons left in my immediate family are my husband, my two kids and my sister. My mom always loved Christmas time, and As the holidays draw close, I tend to miss her and the moments we shared, but I can always look to each of them, especially my wonderful kids, to make this time of year full of laughter and love.,
My husband makes everyday better and brighter.
My Mom is my special person. She is my Rock and although I’m 46 years old and she’s 70…she’s my Queen. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for her. As an only child, she was a single mother but I never wanted or needed for anything. I was the kid on the block that had it all even when others had both parents living in the home. Now that I’m soon to be married to my Prom Date from High School…yes we found each other after dating when I was 15…we are madly in love and the best part of it all…HE LOVES HER AND TREATS HER LIKE A QUEEN TOO. So this holiday season is special to me because she is still just as feisty as ever, still works full time and loves the Lord and Life. Holidays too me are special just because she’s still in my life!
I am thankful for my great loving grandmother Elizabeth who celebrated her 100th birthday on 11/06/2016. She is the most kindest, hardworking, and loving grandmother anyone can have. And I celebrate her life any chance I get
My beautiful mother was the person who made our whole family’s Christmas special. Her spirit and smile could make the world warm up and forget all troubles. Her food was cooked with love and greatness that no one could ever compare to. She would decorate our house make us all want to be in the holiday spirit. Sadly,y queen passed away 2 years ago from cancer and our holidays have never been the same. The blessing in all that was her genuine spirit lives through my 4 brothers and I and by me being the only girl, I try to bring the holiday cheer every year. No one will ever do it like her but I was with 30 years of memories and being her taster in the kitchen. Thank you for all your recipes because when I can’t remember how she made something, I was turn to your website.
My 2 kids. Since my hubby passed away 2 years ago, they have been an inspiration to me.
My Girlfriend…She’s always My Smile.. Even tho she doesn’t realize it❤️
My grandson is my special one.
He keeps me up to date on music, sports, movies and at only 9 , I look forward to what Carciko does or says every day. Thank God for him and God bless all of you. Happy Holidays.
My son and fiancé. I love holidays with them it makes me so happy!
My husband.
My Grandmother was always the spirit lifter for all holidays. Christmas was the favorite and she always had a gift under the tree for any extra guests that showed up
My son is my special person, he is mannerable, respectful, and all around a good child and he keeps himself occupied with school and basketball. He is truly the love of my life #ShareACoke
My daughter always makes everyday extra special she is always up to help me to do anything in the kitchen even at 7 years-old!
My Grandson, which he is 3mon. Every since my Kashton has been born, it has been so excited. I’m looking forward to this Christmas this 2016. He is my morning star. This year has been really rough for me, I lost my brother in June, and my father in November but God has blessed me highly, with my Grandson. My Grandson, is the one whose holding that special touch for my Christmas.
My mom is definitely my unsong hero!! I know it’s cliche, but she is! I’ve been trying to start a small dessert business from home. And she’s been there every step of the way! Especially this holiday season even when business is slow. She’ll place an order for something small just to support me. She runs to the store for me to get forgotten items. My taste tester and biggest critic. She handles my attitude and doesn’t judge me when I get a little crazy in the kitchen especially when it can get hectic around the holidays. My mom is my unsung heros because she is the one who taught me everything I know about cooking and baking and Holiday recipes.
My mother is such a generous person. She goes out of her way to do for others and she is so deserving of this (and much more). She anonymously gives to others (groceries, gifts, she’s even donated cars, and much more) and because of her background in finance and real estate, she volunteers with financial organizations to help people improve their credit and financial situations. She is an amazing person that generously gives with no expectation of anything in return.
My two daughters are my unsung heros. When ever I need a helping hand they are always there for me. I have been truly blessed.
My father, Pastor Jerry B. Boykin. This is my family’s first holiday season without him here with us. He passed away suddenly on April 5,2016. He was also the pastor of our church. He touched the lives of so many people during his short 57 years here on earth. His daily message was love, whether delivering a sermon or just throughout his daily actions. His favorite line was “my only desire is that the people of God be blessed”. And did I mention that he worked for Coca Cola for 35 years before retiring in 2012. He is missed tremendously but his legacy lives on.
My cousin! She’s more like a big sister and best friend. She throws-down in the kitchen during the holidays and still finds ways to help everybody else get their last minute stuff done no matter what it is.
My kids. They always make my holiday cooking/baking worth the effort when I see how excited they are.
My Sweetheart Jeremy. He always as a treat takes me out of the holidays to give me a break from cooking so much. He is super supportive and a great guy. I’m truly blessed to have him in my life. He is my best friend and more. I truly love him. The holidays would not be the same without him.
My mom. She helps me so much with everything and anything!
Love your site btw!
Around the holidays I would say my mom makes it extra special! She has MS and has her flare ups randomly, but around the holidays she is determined not to let it get her down physically! She’s still a lot of fun.
My mom !!! Even though my sister, my brother and I are all grown she still keeps up the Christmas tradition and calls us early Christmas morning to tell us the “real” meaning of Christmas!
My son! He’s 5 and special needs, he loves helping me make Christmas cookies, decoration the tree and driving around looking at Christmas lights. The smile that stays on his face all season continues to warm my heart throughout the cold winter months.
Great idea!!!
My husband. He keeps me sane and helps me to get through the holidays when overextend myself.
My younger sister. She always makes Christmastime extra special – I think it’s in her DNA because it just comes so easily for her.
My kids because without them my world is non existent. They are all the joy i need
My holiday hero is definitely my wonderful husband. He has truly been a God send since the day we laid eyes on each other.
My sister-in-law! She always goes the extra mile over the holidays!
My husband makes the holidays extra special! As I’m required to work, he follows your recipes too a T and brings joy too our kids! Keep sharing your talent, and we’ll keep cooking????!
My big sister is definitely my holiday hero. When our mom died and dad walked out on us she stepped up to raise us 3 kids. She sacrificed so much for us even though she was so young. We always had a roof over our heads and food to eat, but most importantly we had each other. I am in tears as I write this because I think about how she gave up her life so we could have ours. She has never asked for anything in return. I am so thankful for my big sister. #holidayhero #shareacoke
My mom was and still is my hero. He had so much love for everybody and that made our Christmas very merry always. I’m trying to do the same with my own family and friends so they feel tje joy and love of this season.
Im thankful for my loving friend Shantrelle. She is my unsung hero bc of how loving and joyful she is to me without any expectation
My holiday hero is my fiancé. He has always supported me whenever I needed him to. This year I was nearing the end of my college career. I took on a holiday job to assure our son has a great xmas as I do every year. A week later, my last class started which was the internship. The requirements were too demanding for me to keep my part time job so I had to leave. I had been worried and stressed out that I would not be able to get our son the toys (he usually does the clothes). A few weeks ago he took me on a ride. We went to the stores and he not only got our son all of his xmas clothes but covered me and got all of his toys. This will truly be the xmas that means the most to me.
My hero would have be my grandmother. This woman has held our family together for 50 plus years with her heart of gold. One of the highlights of the holiday season, heading over to her house for dinner and watch her open her gifts from her kids, her grandkids and he great grands. Such a beautiful time. My grandmother, my hero.
My holiday hero is my mother because she brings the family together so that we can all enjoy the holiday telling old stories, eating good food, and laughing together!
My Holiday Hero would be my mom! She has been through so much from heart failure at the age of 32, the doctors had gave her up, even called my brother who was in Desert Storm to let him know he wouldn’t make it home in time to see her, but God! Then she had colon cancer about 15 years ago but God brought her through that too! The reason she is my Holiday Hero too is vecause she is a giver, if you were to show up at her house on Christmas you would have a present along with your kids!
My little girl! It’s her first Christmas and my inspiration to go all out this year. Our home is cozy and festive, just for her . ☺
My mother is my holiday hero. simply because she is always prepared months in advance. Plus she always adorn her house with all kinds of holiday decor, even with xmas mail boxes with gift cards in them, cookie tins, popcorn tins chocolate and more!
My hero is my daughter. She is 13yrs old, and she was born with a severe brain disorder called Holoprosencephaly ( it’s a form of Cerebal Palsay.) When I delivered her I was told she would not live past a day. But by the grace of God she is still here. She may not be able to talk, walk, run, and play like other kids but in my heart and eyes she is my hero because she tries.
The hero in my life is my boyfriend. He is a paramedic and a firefighter, he is also the father of our daughter. He works up to 400 hours a week sometimes even more. He has given me the opportunity to stay home with my baby and enjoy her. I’ve never had once seen him to complain about working and has he ever miss a day at work . He misses his lunch and he misses sleep but he always saves other peoples lives . He always does it with a smile on his face . I know hes sad sometimes because he misses the biggest moments in our daughters life, but I know that he’s being a hero. He’s helping others and saving others and that really makes a difference . He’s a true hero . He has jumped into lakes to save people, He has also gone into fires to save others. He also drove eight hours to another state to be there for the birth of Our baby. He always knows how to put a smile on my face even though he hasn’t had the greatest day at work . I know when someone calls 911 my hero will answer your call .
My mother is my hero! No matter what she always pulls through.
I am truly blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people in my life – my big, soft hearted husband, my co-workers who all feel like family to me, my father who has recently ungone his first surgery in his entire 63 years, my mom who beat cancer at the age of 60, my in-loves, and my four WONDERFUL children, and many others. However, I am going to have to set my “unsung heros” are my two oldes children (18 & 22). They have SUCH a ginormous heart and they are really sadden when they see others who are less fortunate than we are. On there own, and not knowing that the other had done the same, bought food for some homeless people in our area. I was in total awe. It meant so much to me to know that ‘children’ their age (MY CHILDREN!) see mankind as humans regardless of their circumstances and not frown upon one because of their misfortune but would rather lend a hand.
My holiday hero is my fiancé. He always helps me whenever I needed. He knew how much Xmas means to me and how important it is for me to make sure my son has a great Xmas. This year I took on a part time job (as I do every season since I am a full time student) at Home Depot in Aug. A week later I had to quit because the requirements of my internship was too demanding. I was worried and stressed that I couldn’t make Xmas happen for my son plus donthe internship to graduate a few days before Xmas. My fiancé took me on a ride a few weeks ago. We went shopping that morning as he did his routine part of Xmas plus covered mines, This will still be a great Xmas. ❤️
#Shareacoke My Holiday Hero is my mother. She was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s about two years ago and has not missed a beat. She gives back to the community and volunteers at the church daily. She is highly active and has the most positive spirit. Her motto is I am going to fight until I can’t fight anymore. She has her foggy days but she is constantly pushing herself not to give up so she constantly does more. Her faith in God is so much bigger than this disease. I am proud of her for instilling and showing daily the model for perseverance.
My hero is my boyfriend, the father of my children, the most patient man in the world. He is a stay at home dad and then goes off to work till midnight sometimes later to work on his own business. Things are financially and emotionally hard, but yet, he always is there for our family and me.
My parents would be my holiday hero’s! My father passed last years but my my parents always made sure we had awesome Christmas s when I was growing up! Even if money was tight they always pulled through for u! They set us up with many tradition s I now use with my children! They always made sure we had all the extras for our kids when we were struggling! I’m greatful for them!
My hero is my mother. She raised three kids by herself, without any help. She worked at least two jobs at a time to make sure we were taken care of. She’s retired now, but still takes care of my stepfather, who is a Vietnam veteran and he has bone cancer, which requires frequent trips to the hospital for chemo. My mother does all of this while trying to take care of herself too. …..
#shareacoke My hero is my mom she always put everyone before herself and fought hard to beat that’s suck disease she passed from cancer recently so in spirit she is my hero because she fought hard and at the same time tried to keep us uplifted in good spirit❤️❤️ R.i.p my angel hero
My Holiday Hero is my husband! He always finds a way to hang Christmas lights outside every single year, no matter how cold it might be. He also takes the whole family out to pick the perfect Christmas tree for our home… and as much I would like the easy no mess artifiicial tree, he will not cave! I secretly love that about him though! Keeping it traditional 😉
My hero is my mother–Cynthia Woods. She has been my foundation , my shoulder and my support system. It’s always been her and I . When I thought I would be a disappointment by the life decisions I made, she has always been in my corner to tell me she loves me and will be here no matter what. She pushed me to be the best I can be and set examples of excellenence. She will always and forever be my hero!!! #ShareACoke #ILoveMyMom #HappyHolidays #ThankYouDivaForTheContest #HerosArentAlwaysCelebrities
#shareacoke My unsung hero is my husband. He works to support our family. He goes far and beyond for us ( me and our son) to have. He has bend over backwards for me when we were only friends. My husband confess his feelings towards me before we were even dating. He has truly been my knight in shiny armour! When I felt like I had no one he has been there. He took great care of me after giving birth via c-section. I can go on and on about this man but then post will never get posted lol
I love your recipes and the cakes are holiday hits in my family!!
My grandmother is my holiday hero. I look forward to spending the holidays at her house surrounded by all of my family. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the only times of year we all get to be together. She is a great cook and has the best sense of humor! I will always cherish those moments.
My grandmother! She always makes the holidays something even when we had absolutely nothing. Elaborate dinners out of scraps, gifts when we had nothing. Shes literally my superwoman and my holiday hero. Love you Donna Woods!! ????????????
My holiday hero is the person that tries to keep me sane through all the holiday stress, my boyfriend.
My mom! Now that I am an adult,, I realize how much planning and work went in to making Christmas so magical when I was a child. From the decorations to the food to the gifts…and she made it look so effortless!
Jesus Christ! He is my hero all year long. Then me husband .
My Husband is my Unsung Holiday Hero! I suddenly fell I’ll over the weekend and with little to no sleep, he didn’t hesitate making sure I was well taken care of along with our three beautiful children and two fur babies. I felt horrible knowing how tired he must have been due to being on the road just a few hours earlier for work. Through it all he always comes through for our family.
My unsung hero, is my husband Rickey. We are a sort of a young couple we’ve been married over 21 years and I lost mother last July and I deal with her loss everyday, my mom and I did everything together and I miss her and without the Lord blessing me with my husband I think I would’ve loss my mind. I have followed your YouTube channel for about 2 years and 8 enjoy you sharing your family and great recipes. Maybe one day soon I could start my own cooking channel because I think I can put it down a little bit!
My holiday heroes are my husband and kids. My husband puts up with my attitude all year long. He gets up at 3:45 in the morning everyday to go to work and provide for us. He still comes home, cooks and goes to the gym everyday. ????My daughter is 19 and goes to college, works at Walmart and still helps around the house and cooks on her day off. My youngest one goes to High School and is my best friend. We enjoy our time together, both my daughters are my best friends. I love my family, they complete me.
Definitely my husband. He sometimes surprises me at work by randomly showing up to say hi or drop off a latte from our favorite local coffee shop. According to my coworkers, I light up like a little Christmas tree whenever I see him walking in, and they get a real kick out of it. Ten years, and we still got that spark. ~_^
#ShareaCoke My Holiday Heros are my family, friends, and line sisters, because they have continued to support me throughout all my life decisions, even when I doubted myself. A great example is my current situation with wanting to continue my education. I graduated with my Bachelors Degree in Health Sciences from The University of West Florida in Fall 2015. I worked a little afterwards, and in less than a year I felt the need to go back to pursue a Doctor of Pharmacy Degree. However, I did not take many science-based classes while in my undergrad education, so I figured it would be okay for me to go back. There were so many obsticles I faced when I was trying to go back into school and once I was in, during the semester, I questioned why I decided to go back to school, because it is a sacrifice. But with the great support system I have, I was able to keep my confidence and not question why all the time. Things happen for a reason, and im making a better life for me and for my future. By God’s Grace and all of my Holiday Heros, I completed the semester with amazing grades (A’s and B’s) and I feel better than ever and ready to knock these other prerequisite classes out the ballpark.
Side note: I absolutely love your recipes! Thank you for taking the time to share these great recipes with us.
My sister-in-law Bridgette, for sure. They have 6 kids, yet she always decorates the whole house and yard, bakes from scratch, helps the kids shop for presents, takes the kids to their parties, and maintains her spirit of joy.
#ShareaCoke. My holiday hero”s” are my trio of best friends who keep the holidays rockin’ and keep me smiling through what can be a tough time!
Cola#shareacoke. My unsung holiday hero.. Y’all may think this is crazy but my granddaughter will always be mines. You see I lost her in 2014 at 15 months. She was my first and only granddaughter. Her first Christmas she was only 6 months. So I didn’t really get a chance to see her enjoy her first Christmas she would know. So every year I put an picture ornament of her on my tree. She will always be my angel forever, especially holidays.
#ShareACoke
My hero’s are all 3 of my children, ages 17, 15 & 2(almost 3)!! You may wonder why I pick my children and it’s simple….They are the most loving, caring, kind, perfect gifts of all….I know my husband and I raised them right when they ALWAYS THANK us for being GREAT parents….The 2 older kids have the youngest even saying “fank you daddy and mommy”!! Love these kiddos!!
#ShareaCoke is every person that gets up on Christmas morning, day, etc and goes to the the local soup kitchen, shelters, and beyond to el prepare and serve food to those in need. Every person who visits those in hospitals, orphanages, and senior care facilities, I am thinking of you too. You… yes you are my unsung Christmas heroes.
My hero is my husband. He’s in the military and works very long hours, but still will come home, help out with dishes and give our children baths so that I can relax just a little. He goes above and beyond for us. We haven’t had many holidays together because of deployments and military training so when we do get to spend it together we soak up every moment of each day.
#ShareaCoke My father was my unsung holiday hero. He made the holidays very special for us, by telling us stories. I lived on a small farm, and he told me that the cattle would kneel down at midnight on Christmas Eve, in anticipation of the birth of Christ. He had me convinced, and I can remember arguing with him (as a small child) that I would be alright sleeping in the barn by myself on Christmas Eve, so I could see this magnificent happening, for myself. He passed away when I was 14 years old, but I assure you, I will never forget the holidays I got to spend with him. Merry Christmas from my home to yours. 🙂
My unsung hero my hubby and kids that support me and inspire me everyday to keep pushing and make my dreams come true, even when I’m not feeling confident they tell me no way keep going we love u . They Rock! Through ups and downs.
#shareacoke. My unsung holiday hero is my mom. She is the back bone of my family. She never show us that she’s tired or hurting. She always cooks the best meals for her family during the holiday. She always gets the best for the kids. She always does everything with love.
My hero has to be my mom. I’ve never loved anyone more than I do her. She’s probably the only person to unconditionally love me for me. Ive been blessed with such a great person to show me how to be a decent human being. I admire the way she works hard to provide and the empathy and love that she has for others in need, even when she doesn’t have a lot to offer herself. She finds the true importance in life besides materialistic things and shares it with others and I’m soo soo so greatful that she shares them with me too. I couldn’t have asked for a better role model. Thank you God!
My Mom is my unsung hero. Raising seven children after my dad passed. She worked hard doing domestic job’s so that we siblings had a happy Christmas. A cancer survivor she is a very strong woman of faith. She loves to cook.,making the best apple cobblers.
#ShareACoke I’d have to say my Unsung Hero would be my only child, my son Teyon II. His father passed away from cancer in 2010 so he withdrew from everyone; especially during holidays. Recently he has been on the upswing: upped his credit score to the high 700s, purchased his first home on his own, paid off his car, learned how to do his own handy work for his home and is overjoyed with having his son, Teyon III. He is the chief of being frugal but his objective for all of this was to be able to bring family together for our favorite holidays. I know his dad is proud as am I.
#shareacoke, My unsung hero is my Mom, who took care of seven children two and three years apart.Doing domestic jobs in order for each of us to have a decent enjoyable Christmas. A cancer survivor she still puts her children and now grandchildren at the top of her list. She is a strong woman of faith and has instilled this same faith in each of us seven siblings. I am very thankful for my Mom and love her dearly.
My children are really getting me through the holidays this year. After we had our 2nd child earlier this year we both lost our jobs. This year has been incredibly trying. But our babies have kept us motivated and happy. This holiday season goes out to them.
#ShareaCoke
My unsung hero is my dad. He has always been such a hardworking man and he goes above and beyond to make me and my mom’s life easier. He cooks, he cleans, he does grocery shopping. I’m in college right now, so when I’m swamped with work, he always very understanding and gives me so much support (monetarily and emotionally). I feel blessed everyday to have a family like mine. I look around and honestly, I dont see many dads that are comparable to mine. 😉 Dont get me wrong, sometimes I feel like his life goal is to annoy me to DEATH and I want to choke him at times but over all I know I have the BEST dad in the world. He’s my unsung hero and I dont know what I;d do without him. <3
P.S I absolutely love you Monique lol, your seriously the best and your recipes are the bomb.com!
My unsung holday hero is my husband. No matter how much crazy I throw his way, he’s always supportive and loving. We work for the same company and every morning, he takes my bag and coat in the car. It’s the small things that make me appreciate him. He’s always concerned about my safety and if I am okay. We drive each other crazy sometimes but in the end, it’s all love and we are best friends. Can’t imagine my life without him.
My unsung hero is my father., his birthday was on christmas. My father brought so much warmth and joy to the family with his bright sense of humor and the delicious meals that he prepared for us with love. He died before his time, when I was still young, but his memories warm my holidays, just thinking about who he was to us all and the joy that he brought us. Win or not,,God bless you and your family Monique
That would be my husband. He works so, so hard for our family. All so I can stay home and take care of our son.
#ShareaCoke my unsung holiday hero my granny gladys hunt. She is 80 years old i am truly blessed, and grateful to still have her in my life. She always there to pick me up when i am weak, afraid, or sad. She always leanding a helping hand to anyone who is in need. She is an amazing cook, she always bring the family and community together for the holidays. I love my unsung holiday hero my granny gladys hunt!!!!
#Shareacoke My mother is my unsung HERO EVERYDAY. I couldn’t ask for anyone more sweeter. She is a cancer survivor and Im so blessed to still have her here with me as she is now cancer free. I thank God every day. She is always there for me and my sisters whenever we need her and she never turns down keeping any of the grand kids when asked. She is someone that has worked with special needs children and adults for years and have treated them all like her own. Yes she has a heart of gold and great spirit that is undeniable, I just love me some her and Im happy to call this wonderful lady named Linda my mother. #MY HERO FOR LIFE!
My three children.
#ShareaCoke My unsung hero’s are my 3 boys they are my rock 19,9,5 no matter what they always have my back and I love them very much for this. We have been through a lot as a family but they have always been good and very well respectable . I hope this never changes and they always remain very humble and loving.
#ShareaCoke My unsung hero is my boyfriend Justin. He was able to be my bedside through cancer, by his father with cancer and graduate with his Master’s degree. He is honestly the strongest person that I know. His faith is unwavering and I thank God for him. I know together and with the help of God WE can get through anything!
#ShareaCoke my unsung hero’s are the people who stand outside and present the red kettles during the holiday season. They withstand bad weather and sometimes bad attitudes but they always greet me with a smile coming and going. They rock!!
#ShareACoke my unsung holiday hero is my grandma. Growing up, Christmas was always the most fun time at her house. She would make the most amazing pies, order pizza, and we would spend time with the whole family. Since my grandpa had his aneurysm (and thank God survived) 3 years ago, she has been taking care of him and hasn’t had much time to make Christmas “perfect” like it used to when we were kids. If only she knew, Christmas isn’t about the pies the pizza or even the presents, it’s about being together and loving each other.
#ShareACoke My unsung hero is my husband Earl! He works so hard for our family! He never complains, no matter how much we have going on! He is a fantastic father to our two children. We couldn’t ask for better!
#ShareaCoke Although my mother has passed she will forever be my unsung hero. This will be my second Christmas that I have spent without her. My mom has taught me to cherish every moment you have with your loved ones and how to maintain family traditions. I’m thankful every single day for my mom, and I will make sure to pass on all that I’ve learned from her to my daughter.
#ShareACoke My Grandma Shirley. She is the glue that brings us together and provides us with all we need during the holidays.
#Sharescoke. My parents are deceased so, as the oldest, my younger siblings look to me as the mother figure for our family. My strength for my family comes from knowing God loves me and Jesus is my Savior. He is my unsung hero because so many people are turning away from a faith -filled life viewing it as a fairytale. I couldn’t function without my faith in the Lord.
#shareacoke
My mom is my hero! She has shown me unconditional love. She lives her life with integrity and go above and beyond to help people even when I don’t think certain people deserve it. She selfless and someone I inspire to be.

#ShareaCoke My unsung holiday hero(s) is my niece and nephews. They always remind me of the innocence of Christmas and what family is about. They make me appreciate my blessings and be grateful for everything that I have and that it is not about the gifts under the tree but the gifts of joy and peace.
My younger cousin is my unsung hero. She has been through so much, a lot of heartache and pain, and through she doesn’t realize it now, she is beyond strong and beautiful. (She will be 21 in a few days.) She never fails to make others feel loved or be joyful even through the tears.
I love you my sweet cousin!
My unsung hero is my husband! At 33 weeks pregnant, he has gone above and beyond to make sure everything at home is taken care of…including me! He cooks, cleans, does the laundry, & makes sure I don’t lift a finger…all while working a full time job. Thank you, babe, for being an unsung hero to our family! We love, honor, and appreciate you!
My unsung Hero is my mom Linda. I thank God for her everyday. Im proud of the progress she has made for herself including getting her Bachelor Degree in Business Administration in 2016. I don’t know what I would do without her. She is the kindest soul I’ve ever know. She gives to others without a thought. Her kind deeds go unnoticed and unappreciated by those whom try to use her because of her good heart. She has given me her last to help me stay afloat. Momma I LOVE ya and I wouldn’t trade you for anything in this World.
Merry Christmas Divas Can Cook! I hope and pray 2017 is a good year for you.
I have more than one person that is an unsung hero that gives me that joy I feel when I am thinking about all the good things in my life. My husband, kids, siblings and parents. They are truly my backbones. My love for them, words can’t describe. They’re all an inspiration to me. #unsung heroes…… Goes to them all.
Every person in my family makes every day special. But the one who can light up my day and makes the holidays extra special is my daughter Zelena. She was born march 2015 few weeks early and the day after her birth we found out she was blessed with Downs syndrom. At first I was scared because i had no idea what to expect. I was given very little hope about her future. But here almost two years later she is a perfect presious angel who is smart and beautiful in every way. She pushs and exceeds many peoples expectations of her. I am proud and honored to be given such a blessing. I know she makes every day a little brighter for every one who crosses her path from all the smiles and compliments she is given every day. And it warms my heart to know she is seen. They see past her syndrom and they see her, her perfect loving courageous soul.
#ShareaCoke I don’t have one person who makes my holiday brighter. I have around 70 of them. I work in Emotional Support and all the kids at my school and the staff make my holiday brighter. We often take for granted that the holidays will be joyful and bright, but for some of the kids I work with and their families. This is not a good time of the year. Some kids won’t get meals. Some won’t have Christmas presents. Some won’t even get to spend it with their families. They remind me everyday to give praise to God and thank Him for all he has given me. The wonderful staff that I work with take the wight of a lot of stuff everyday, but they come back ready for more and we do all we can to make the days before Christmas break Merry and Bright for our students.
#shareacoke my father. He changed his whole life around to make sure mine was better. He is truly a selfless, loving man and an even better father.
#ShareaCoke My Aunt Debbie she lost her father when she was 16 i was 2 she helped my grandmaw till she passed she has always been there for me she went through so much and helped me as a person as she helped many others she became a sunday school teacher and she is just the best i know of she is a true blessing
My unsung hero is my daughter. She’s 2 and loves everything about this holiday. She’s my little helper and has made Christmas feel like the old days for me. Before her I felt like the holiday was so commercialised and thought I would never get that feeling of love joy and peace back but she came along and gave me that feeling. She’s truly a blessing to all those that meet her.
My unsung hero is my husband he is just my rock. Weve been together for 25 years and have alot more to come.
The person that makes my holiday special is my daughter Faith. She is absolutely amazing!! The past two years has been very challenging for us both emotionally and financially . I was not able to live the life we were once accustomed to and am not able to give her the Christmas that I wanted for us. in spite of everything, she always have a smile on her face and when I am feeling down, she comes and kisses my forehead as a sign that all will be well. even though she has autism and is non-verbal, she always gives me the courage to keep pressing and her hugs warms me inside and out and it makes the holidays wonderful just to have someone so special in my life!
My unsung hero is my older sister. My older sister has worked since she was 15yrs old and has always made sure everyone has a gift under the tree. There is now an additional 13 nieces and nephews and she still makes sure everyone have a gift plus host christmas dinner. She is truly my hero.
The one person that makes my holidays a bit more special is my son. The look on my son face is priceless during the holidays is priceless. My son is everything to me, he is my world. I cherish the priceless moments I have with him, because I realize I won’t be here forever. I love the holidays.

My unsung hero is my boyfriend and this is why! I’m a single parent with a set of twins that are now in college. My sons father died from heart disease when they were young. When my sons are out of school for their holiday breaks he will drive us to go get them no questions asked at all. If something goes wrong with my vehicle he will fix it right away no questions asked!!He’s always there no matter what NO questions asked. He’s my best friend no questions asked. After he does all of that he still goes to work no complaints at all. He’a,my hero!!!!
I’ve been friends with my BFF for 24 years. We spent only our second Christmas together last year after I suffered trans global amnesia after a surgery last year and she ensured not only that it was one I’d never forget but that I’d also gain back some of my memory. I couldn’t remember anything about my life much less any christmases. She has and continues to make my Christmas memorable and I couldn’t imagine one without her.
Hi Diva 🙂 First off,thank u so very much for this wonderful opportunity. I wrote yesterday,but I can’t find my comment now 🙁 I will try to reiterate what I wrote,but forgive me if my other comment shows up somewhere,and it seems like i put up two comments. If so,I apologize in advance..:)
I just wanted to say that my Hubby of 18 plus years,who just passed away on October 8th this year,was and will always be my Unsung hero..He was a great Father,a great person,and of course,a great Hubby…We had been thru so many ups n downs throughout the years,but through it all,we stayed together,and made it work.Even though we were 16 years apart in age,he being 65,and I being 50,we learned so much from each other,and our personalities just complemented each other 🙂 He was a loud,boisterous extrovert,and I,the exact opposite hehe 🙂 He always saw to it,that we had food on the table,even tho being on a fixed income,things were tough…he just knew how to make a buck stretch haha,and he taught me so much about that,and for that,I am so very grateful for him..♥ My world virtually came to an end the day he collapsed of heart failure,and passed away at the hospital that day..:((( We had his funeral services with full Military honors at Riverside National Cemetery on November 2,2016.He was an Army Vet..So needless to say,I am,we are still missing him so very much,especially with the holidays upon us,it will be so empty and lonely without his presence :(( I am just struggling to find a job now,to make ends meet.My adult children are trying so hard to help.,bless their hearts ♥ I don’t know what i’d do without them here…♥♥♥ Thank u again,and God bless u and ur family,and everyone here on this blog..Wishing all a very Merry Christmas and happy and blessed New year..:) ♥♥♥
THE one person that makes this holiday so special for me is Jesus, my Lord and savior. This holiday reminds me that the RIGHT to all of my WRONGS entered this world that I may be forgiven and given a chance at eternal life. Not to mention, His birth proves that “Life is now fair”. This holiday means so much more than trees, decorations, and gift exchanges. It is an annual reminder of unconditional love and compassion.
I would have to say my mother means a lot to me. She is an amazing woman with such a heart for others. She always seeks to give rather than to receive and she always prays for me consistently. I am extremely blessed to have her in my life. <3 I love the glass bottles. Thank you.
I know it’s kind of cliché to say my mom, but i will and have to say my mom. She was the quiet, un-noticed, but forever thoughtful type of person. She went the extra mile for everything and everyone except her self. She was always performing random acts of kindness. From small gift certificate to as much as giving herself or her time to someone in need. She would bring not one, not two, but three dishes to a function and then bethere early to set up and stay late to help clean up. Every year she gave this one elderly lady in our community a large poinsettia because she knew she loved them but could not afford them. I could go on and on about my mom. But it’s heart breaking to say that this year our family will not be blessed by this dynamic women. She recently lost her battle to cancer and has far left a huge void in our holiday spirit. Hers shoes were WAY too big for me to fill in the gap, but i will try. I truly miss my unsung christmas hero.
The unsung hero in my life that adds that special touch to my holidays is my 6 year old niece Kaliyah. She is totally a kid at heart & she brings out the holiday spirit in me. We live in different cities, so she’s always asking when am I coming back to my parents house to visit. She lights up when I arrive because her days are going to increase with excitement! She brings out the kid in me during the holidays while we bake together, play together, go look at Christmas lights, etc! Although Christmas & the holidays don’t start until I hear “Silent Night” by the Temptations, my heart gets involved when my niece adds that special touch, which is better than any song.
Since my hubby is in the oil & gas industry, we are now in the season of unemployment! He was blessed for hanging on for a long time yet the unemployment bug finally got him. My hero is Jesus as He is making all the ends meet and is blessing us beyond our wildest imagination! In a season of stress He has calmed our household. Jesus is the first superhero and mine still today.
My mother and father have both passed away. I’m not married nor do I have any children. But i must say that my unsung hero is my Aunt that raised me. She made sure that although my parents were gone, I never felt lack in any aspect of my life. She valued family, food, and cooking , so she gave me love and apreciation for all of them. My grandmother used to say that when God made my aunt, He broke the mold. I dsfinitely agrrr with that!
Hi Diva I’m sorry but I have 3 kids and 8 beautiful grands and those are my heros. Even tho the most high Hero is my GOD and then comes my loving family and of couse my mom bottom line my family
My unsung hero is my husband. My husband is someone special that God has put in my life. He puts family first and makes sure family is always safe and taken care of. I give God thanks everyday for the wonderful blessing of a husband, best friend and father. Without him I do not know where I would be. He is the other half of me that makes me whole. I have a child that is disable and has a lot of health problems but my husband loves and cares for my child just as much as he do for me
The person that makes my holidays awesome is my granny! My granny is always the life of the party, and steals every show with her amazing baking! She is the reason why I was inspired to even attempt to step into the kitchen and bake when I was younger. Over the years, my lovely granny has needed some special assistance due to complications after her Breast Cancer battle, but we are so grateful to have her with us every day–especially the holidays!
I love your recipes. That one person whom always makes my holidays nice is my aunt. She taught me how to bake when I was little and we always made items from scratch. Even though she is in Florida and I live in Maryland, she always mails me the perfect gifts whether it’s a DVD of a movie that I really like or real vanilla she buys when she goes out of the country. She’s my go to on how to make this and how to make that. I just call her since she’s a phone call away. This year will be her 70th birthday and she’s still enjoying her life.
My brother is my unsung hero for Christmas; after my mom passed away he kept up the tradition of hosting Christmas Eve at the house. My kids love visiting even though they are adults now; they love how special my brother still makes Christmas. So thanks William for all you do during the Christmas Season. He buys the large bottle cokes for every party he gives!! Reminding us all of the generations that were here before us!!
My loving husband is my hero. We were together for 10 years before getting married. This will be our 1st official Christmas as hubby and wifey as we call each other in our text messages and phone calls. It was well worth it getting to this journey. He had 2 heart attacks and due to that had to stop smoking cold turkey. February will be 2 years. He has done great. I relocated from MD to GA. Was able to keep my same job. He made my transition so smooth. We had our perfect wedding right on Myrtle Beach. He is a great man and so family oriented when it comes to both families. I love my hubby my hero.
My mom is my unsung her . We bump heads all the time and I know its only because she loves me. I just moved away from my family and I’m missing everyone terribly.
Although Im married with a beautiful 2 year old and fantastic husband, my mom is my hero. She battled addiction off and on almost all of my life but has been clean for the past 7 years (I’m 33). in that time she has got her bachelors degree, her masters and is now in the doctrine program at the age of 52. She has not let her past define her, her age define her and I’m so proud of her. Her strength and her courage is what i hope to also have.
I would have to say, Jesus. then again, this is all year round.
The unsung hero in my life is my daughter. Honestly, if it weren’t for her I don’t know where I would be right now. Life is full of great things and people, but at times life is also accompanied by negative things and people. Being positive and finding the drive and motivation to push forward gets extremely difficult sometimes, especially through the holidays. When I see her face and all of that personality that she has it is all I need to know there will always be light at the end of my tunnel.
Well actually my mom….Since I have had this stroke, she has been a definite rock. I really do love her, even though it is hard for me to show it, I really love her. She is the only person in my life I can truly love. So she is my favorite person!
The on person that makes my holiday a bit more special is my hubby of 35 yrs, each year with him gets more and more special for the love he has for me it’s not about the gifts, money. or things he do and give, its about the love and faithfulness he has shown towards me, inspite of me he loves me as Christ loves the Church. And for that he is that one special person that makes all my Holidays a bit more special … Blessings to everyone who enters to win…
I no longer see my comment on my Husband as my unsung hero.:( What happened to it? Please help?????
My favorite people at Christmas are my husband and son. They always surprise me with thoughtful gifts and special events for us to enjoy together.
Who doesn’t love a soda flavored cake, they are so easy and so good! Thanks for sharing, never thought of a mug cake though.
The unsung hero in my life that adds that special touch to my holidays is my 4 year old grandgirl Jada! Every time I wanted to give up while fighting breast cancer I thought about her. How many more cooking lessons I wanted to give her and how many more holidays I wanted to create memories with her.
My husband Joseph is my unsung hero…hands down! He works two jobs averaging 80 hrs a week to take care of his family! He make sure he provides for his family spiritually, emotionally, financially and then some!!! He’s also a great cook and goes out of his way for his family and others. Last but definitely not least, he LOVES Coca-Cola products!
My hero is my teenage daughter. I”be been dealing with some health issues and she has taken over the house. She takes care of me and her brother and the cat. Lol. She does it with a smile and a generous heart while still making the honor roll in school. I don’t know many teenagers who would do that without complaining. God has blessed me with a wonderful child.
It may be cliche but the go to person is always mom. There’s not enough space to share how I feel about my mom but she is truly the wind beneath my wings. This lady is my everything, my spiritual guidance, teacher, counselor, my best friend. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love my dad but it’s nothing more nurturing than a mother’s love. Through her diabetes, high blood pressure, bad knees and arthritis this woman still hits the time everyday and never complains and She never ask for a thing in return and she excited about the simple things of life. I must admit I’m at a lost of gift ideas for my parents not to mention my mom but I truly believe time is the best gift added with a coke and a smile.
This recipe seems really easy and fun! I’ve tried your recipes and they come out oh so good! Thanks for your hard work for us 🙂 Now for my special someone I will say that it is my sweet, patient husband. Because of Him my faith in God and the Savior increased and I now celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. He makes life joyful!
Just one hero…the hubby! He supports all my adventures while dragging my kiddos along. Merry Christmas!
The person who makes my holidays more special is my great niece. She gets so excited and is just so thankful for each gift. She is so much fun to skype with on Christmas Day!
MY SON IS MY UNSUNG HERO. HE IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, EVEN WHEN HE IS NOT DOING WHAT HE SUPPOSE TO DO, HE IS STILL MY HERO. HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
My unsung hero is my husband. We were recently married on Sept 30, 2016. What makes him so special is that we met in college at the age 19 and we remained celibate for 4 years! We saved our self until marriage and I am so blessed that God would allow a man in my life who would honor me and pay the price for me.
My fiance” Sheldon, who is the man of my dreams. We are due to get married July 15 2017. I couldn’t see my life without my king.
My husband is my hero. Wanting for you to come back home to me. the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I love you, My Soldier , My hero , My husband.
My unsung hero is my boyfriend, Daschall, who helps me raise our 4 year son. He works hards so that I do not have too. He is supportive of me going back to school and he really does add a special touch to my life every day.
I’m going to say my 14-year-old daughter she has been with me through the death of my mother and my grandmother and when I would cry she would say mom it’s OK they’re in a better place and that’s something that always stuck with me she was eight at the time of both of their death
my husband is my unsung Hero. He never complains after working hard and long hours. He makes sure everyone is happy and never asks for anything.
Do I really have to pick just one. Can I get a three-for-one deal please, lol. First of all my husband is my unsung Christmas hero. There are not enough words to describe what he means to me, I can’t imagine spending this special day without him. And second and thirdly my boys. These two little boys bring so much joy to me everyday, but at Christmas they bring out my inner child. They are my reason for wanting to wake up early on Christmas day 🙂
My daughter is my unsung hero. She knows how hectic the holidays can get for me between work and trying to host dinners at our homend for family. Without every having to ask she helps out with even just the little things so that I can get everything done. She loves to help and make sure I am not stressed.
Cute holiday idea! The unsung hero is my dad! Widowed for 5 years and he just turned 75 on 12/5! This guy is the best father and grandfather because he always put us first! This man deserves all positive accolades and more because he’s a role model to the kids he’s coached over the years, he’s had to stepup and do things my mom used to in order to keep this family going. He’s doing a great job! And he’s always paying it forward!
My unsung hero is my 30 yr old daughter. She doesn’t realize how much she encourages me with her words and actions. Recently she whipped me back into shape with some spiritual and uplifting words; the same words I raised her on. Tables turned. It’s great when you can see the fruits of your labor and it becomes your help in time of need.
My mother is the absolute best!! Although we bump heads often there is absolutely nothing she would’t do for me and vice-versa. She always has a hug heart and will give her last without question. Growing up was not always peached and creme. My mother struggled a lot to make ends meet in addition to having two hectic jobs. The earnings were not suitable for a single parent with a family of four. Somehow with her trust and faith in the almighty she/we made it. During Christmas we didn’t always have a room full of treats and gifts. Now I look at it as though it just was;t God’s timing. The few items we did receive if any at all were given to us with lots of joy. That was 30 + years ago but my mom still has the same joyful spirit she had back then. I always tell individual it;s not the gift but rather the heart and spirt that you have when giving! My mother is simply an angel in disguise!!
My husband Joseph! This man works two jobs averaging 80hrs a week to provide for his family! And on top of that he makes sure his family has enjoyable wholesome recreation. He can also cook! He’s a SUPERMAN! Last but definitely not least, he LOVES Coca-Cola!????
I didn’t see my comment so I posted again…now I have two post. Please delete. Thanks!
My hero is my grandson, Julian. I lost my adult son just after Christmas two years ago…it has been a difficult holiday season for me since then. But…..to the rescue is my beautiful 13year old grandson….who always has a smile on his face and something funny to report to his “AMO” (that’s grandma Jo for short). We do lots of projects around the holidays and we are indeed making memories….just as I did with my son, Scott, all those years ago.
Jo
We’ll… since God hasn’t seen fit for me to have a significant other right now, I must say it has to be my mother. She and I bump heads a lot but there is absolutely nothing she wouldn’t do for me and vice-versa. As a child growing up it was my twin sister and I along with my brother who is 8 years olderI. Although she was a nurse and worked two hectic jobs, her earnings were not fit for a single parent family of four. She wasn’t always able to get items my siblings and I hoped and wished for. However, the things that she was able to provide, she gave them with so much joy and continues to have a same joyful spirt today. I look at her as the crazy glue to our family! She never fails us!
of course I couldn’t pick just one unsung hero. My mom is the first she loves me unconditionally. She’s always there no matter what and has my back thru thick and thin. Second, my husband, he’s a God fearing man who truly holds it down for our family. Lastly my two beautiful children for allowing me to be their awesome mom!
Unsung heroes would be my mom and my husband. Even though we’re states away, I speak to my mom at least once a day. She is always there with advice and a listening ear. My wonderful husband not only has to put up with that but also my changing moods, especially this time of the year! They both keep my stress levels down and fill me with so much joy and happiness. I love them to the moon and back!
My unsung hero is my son. He is such an uplifting person! He always gets me in the spirit even if I can’t get into it.
My spouse makes the holidays special. He is always excited about giving and seeing the looks on his family’s faces when they open gifts. He is the first one to finish Christmas shopping and neatly wrap his gifts and get them under our tree! His excitement warms my heart!
Well my unsung heroes (plural) are….My wonderful husband of 7 1/2 years, he is always so thoughtful and not a day goes by he tells me he loves me… texting and verbal. He is my best friend forever. He lifts me up when I’m down and he always wants to make sure me and the kids are taken care of. He will always be my one and only…my other hero’s are my 4 beautiful children, whenever I make one of Monique’s recipes they are my critics for sure and they always say ” this is gooooood, your the best mom ever” I Love my wonderful 5 unsung heroes xoxo
Hi Monique,
I know that you said the one person that makes your holidays special, But I would have to say my 2 sons Craig and Christian I have fallen on hard times lately. They try to keep me in good spirits and a smile on my face so I just want to thank them.
Thank you
Hi my name is Shakiyla Presley . My unsung heroes are my twin sons. They are 1 years old and big and strong. The reason they are so special to me because they give me a purpose in this world. I recently split ways with an abusive relationship and everyday I see my beautiful boys grow and teach me as I teach them it shows me my story has just begun and has worth.
Although I have many unsung heroes including my wonderful husband, I would have to choose my mother. She is the epitome of grace and compassion. She raised four biological children while being a daycare provider for over 25 years. As if that was not enough, she opened her home to underserved children in the area from traumatic backgrounds as their foster mother. There were significant highs and very low lows but through it all she remained unshaken and stood firm her faith that things would work out. She adopted four foster children and has loved them like they were her own. She is unfailing, always providing a listening ear, extending words of wisdom and loving us and others unconditionally, She is a real life change agent and I am blessed to know her. I consider it an honor and privilege to be her daughter, She is definitely a Proverbs 31 woman and my everyday unsung hero. xoxo
That one special person that keeps life in me is my 9 year old daughter. She is the reason the Lord allows me to wake up everyday. She is my mini me and she is the reason my life is so complete. We both love the Holidays and it’s my pleasure teaching her how to make divascancook recipes. We did a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner and we will be doing another great dinnner for Christmas.
My husband this year as I have just given birth to my second child a few weeks ago and he has been so helpful. He will prepare the entire Christmas meal including desserts! He is awesome!
Well I do not have just one unsung hero I have 10. My 9 children and my husband. My husband provides for us and makes sure we are never in need. My children just because they make every day worth living.
My unsung hero is my mother. She is 79 years old and is the only real cook in the family. She still works 4 hours a day and cooks a full dinner daily as if all her kids where home. Luckily all 6 children stay close by and can still come over daily to eat, Holidays meals are always extra special because of all the desserts that she only does at Christmas. We are constantly trying to learn to cook like her but that remains a challenge. We continue to be blessed and inspired by her every day. With the holidays being so hectic we all need to take time to share a coke with all our loved ones,
My mommy is my hero! I am in law school 3000 miles away and whenever I can’t make it home for christmas she still finds a way to include me in our family’s christmas dinner so I don’t feel left out! (last year we cooked some of the same dishes and talked on the phone while we ate dinner at the same time). My mom is truly the glue that binds our family together. She is self-less, generous, kind & ALWAYS there when we need her. This year, I am fortunate enough to be able to go home for christmas and for the first time ever she is letting me cook dinner. I’ll be making your red velvet cake, mac & cheese with smoked cheddar, and Grandma Barb’s chicken ! (along with other goodies).
The unsung hero in my life that adds that special touch to my holidays is my son. He is a young adult that feels insignificant and unsure of himself. He has made progress in this daily struggle and continues to push on to become the person he desires to be. But as I have told him, he is enough and until he believes that he will not see it for himself. He is a kind, loving, caring person and does not give himself enough credit. The holidays are not the same when he’s not around. I love him dearly.
My hero is my mom. When my fiancé passed away in May unexpectedly she stepped in and helped me out. My mom helped ease the burden, hurt and pain that it left on my 4 year old daughter that we shared together. She makes sure that we always feel loved and I can count on her no matter what. I thank God for her everyday!
My holiday hero is my mom. My dad was killed in a car accident on Christmas Day when I was 8, leaving behind a wife with 6 kids, ages 4 months to 12, in a state we had recently moved to away from relatives, so needless to say, worst Christmas ever. Instead of making Christmas a remembrance of the day my dad died, my mom ensured it was a day to celebrate our love for each other, and so every Christmas we make sure we are all together as a family with a sleepover, playing games, and of course tons of food lol. This year will make 30 years since my dad passed, and we have continued our family tradition ever year since, adding our own children to the tradition. My mom is the glue that holds our family together, and she is the reason my siblings and I are so close. She’s not only my holiday hero, she’s my every day hero 🙂
My husband is my unsung hero, he helps with lots of chores at our new home. I don’t think I can ever get them all done by myself.
During the holidays my best friend Katherine makes me happy. I currently live in NJ and my family lives in the Carolinas and I can’t get the days off to visit. Katherine and her entire family opens up their house to be and treat me just like I’m a daughter, sister and auntie to the kids. Being away from family and all the friends that you grew up with is very hard but she goes overboard to make it the best she possibly can.
My aunt Mary, was our unsung hero, she had challenges but when it came to taking care of us and cooking she was always on point and no matter how tight times were she was always smiling and making sure the family was happy and satisfied. She shared her last Holiday with us last December. She is truly missed.
It’s hard for me to choose between my husband and my two toddlers aged 2 and 1 (bless my heart! Lol) So I have to go with all three of them as my heros because I couldn’t imagine life let alone the holidays without them there making me laugh and inspiring me to be the best mom, cook, and wife possible to them. Of course the holidays wouldn’t be the holidays without family anyway right? These three special people make my holidays and life amazing.
My cousin Marie is my unsung hero. When I’m down and need a lift, she’s always there to provide the boost I need.
My husband makes my holiday more special. He is the person I want around no matter what. Peviously I have undergone foot surgery on both feet and he has been by my side helping me with everyday things that I am not able to do. I’m usually the one cooking but now he’s googling cooking and taking on the load.
My Mom! I am 55 years old and she still worries about me. She has always been there for me, believes in me, and loves me unconditionally. She is now 89 years old and I cherish every moment I have with her. I keep asking God to please give me more time with her. She is an amazing strong, intelligent, and beautiful woman
P.S. Monique….you are my go to website for great recipes. You consistently have the best recipes . For Thanksgiving I made the mac and cheese, sweet potato casserole, and apple pie recipe. Of course people wanted the recipes so I gave out your website. And I love the pie crust recipe…such yummy butter flavor.
My unsung hero is my grandmother! My mother passed away in
My 20’s and my grandmother had always been that support and role model in my life. She’s provided me with structure And made me the woman that I am today. Currently she is fighting cancer and has been hospitalized before thanksgiving, but i make it a point to contact the nurses and doctors via the phone and I visit her every day , spending the night with her to let her know she’s the glue holding us together and I’m there for her forever! Love you grandma ????
Oh my!!! I’m going to have to try this!!!
I love everyone in my Family, my Mother, Siblings, etc. But, the unsung hero in life this year is my oldest Child, my 16 year old Godson. Every year, every birthday, every Father’s Day, he always acknowledge me and thanks me for who I am to him and on Father’s Day he wishes me a Happy Father’s Day and he realize that I am a father figure to him. Even though I do not have any children, he also acknowledge me as his “pops” and is glad that I’m in his life. This gesture and love from him, has done so much for me spiritually and emotionally….he’s my child and supposed to be in my life. I’m going to try to bless him this year with whatever he wants for Christmas. Mama I’m sorry, but my big fella, is my unsung hero this year. :-).
My hero is my husband. He is always there as my voice of reason and sanity. This time of year is always busy with cooking and baking, and he is always there with a joke to make me laugh wjen I get overwhelmed. He has gone on too many emergency ingredient runs to count (typically coming back with a Coke for us to share), and he is the best taste tester in the world. I love him and I can’t imagine going through this crazy journey without him.
Hi Beautiful lady 🙂 I would definitely have to say without hesitation,my loving and late Hubby,Chris is and will always be my unsung Hero.He passed away on October 8th of heart failure,and it has been an extremely tough both financially,emotionally,and just every way I can think of for me and my two adult children.Just to give u a bit of background,if i may…Chris was my loving Hubby of 18 plus years,and an Army Vet.I was his caregiver for 12 years plus..We have a 22 year old son together,and he helped raise my now,28 year old daughter since she was 5 years old.He loved her as if she was his very own,and for that alone,I love and admire him..In recent months leading up to his death,he was suffering from mild pneumonia,but little did I know,his heart was also giving out on him.On the day he collapsed,I tried desperately to resuscitate him through CPR,until the paramedics came.They would not let me ride with him in the ambulance,and I had no transportation to go to the hospital,so my daughter called me an Uber ride.By the time I got there,he had already been pronounced deceased. 🙁 I can honestly tell u,that that was one of if not the saddest days of my life.All our 18 plus years together,just flashed before my eyes,as I held his hand,and cried.I remembered how we met at Eaton Canyon Nature Park in Pasadena,California,all those years ago,during the L.A. Riots.He was h homeless at the time,following the deaths of both his parents,that he cared for,while they were dying of cancer,and it had taken a very emotional toll on him..How we became friends,and how I’d bring him food because he was so skinny hehe 🙂 How I was still a struggling single Mom of a 4 year old daughter at the time,and worried about how I was going to make it from day to day,but I still was able to help him as well..He finally got on his feet,and found a job,as we were falling in love.He knew he would have to make a home for us,because he knew that my daughter and I,was not going to be able to sleep outside with him,that for him,was unacceptable.He landed a good job,and we were able to find an apartment. 🙂 I also had flashbacks of our many struggles,and how we got through them,with faith and prayer..Needless to say,I will miss him,and the holidays just makes it that much more difficult to get through now. 🙁 Thank u so much for this wonderful opportunity,and just for the chance…Thank U also for all u do,U have taught me so much,and I love ur recipes.God bless u,ur family, and everyone this Christmas..♥♥♥
My little hero who will make this upcoming holiday a little more special is my 5 1/2 month old Sean Jr. He was an unexpected surprise especially when you have kids who is 14 and 16. My boyfriend and I had fears because we were almost done raising children and were having problems in the relationship, but what miracles and joy a baby can bring into a blended family. So my little munch munch will have his first Christmas as one blissful family. He truly made us stronger, brighter, hopeful and happier.
My younger brother is my best friend. He makes every day better, especially the holidays. He’s a great brother to me and a great uncle to my children.
My children make my holiday extra special because it is just them and I. We are our own family.
I will have to say the one who makes this holiday time of year a little extra special is my hubby he works hard and pulls extra shifts at work so I can have the best birthday and Christmas each year. My life is definitely better with him in it not just because he works hard but he ‘s a great husband, father and my best friend since our high school days which I wont share the year it’ll tell how old we are LOL and ironically this give away happens to be on my birthday 🙂
My 6 yr. old daughter is truly my unsung hero. Yes she’s only 6 but my daughter and I share a very special connection and bond. She’s always by my side eager to learn how to do everything I do and I’m much obliged to show her. Whenever I’m sick she’s always stays with me, rubs my head, tells me it’s going to be OK, and gives me a forehead kiss to make me feel better! She loves to help me in the kitchen and already knows how to make a mean mac and cheese honey! I could go on and on about how special she is but there’s not enough time nor space lol! Bottom line, my daughter is my everything and she always will be my unsung hero!!!
Definitely Mom! She prepares the entire meal; finds the most thoughtful gifts and tries her best to stay awake for the family movie. She has always managed to make Christmas special and the love lasts the entire year.
My mom is a lifesaver! With the hectic schedules my husband and I have, she makes sure the kids are always taken care of. She works a full time job and still managed to help us when needed. She’s the real MVP. lol
My mother is my hero. I have watched her throughout my whole life (30 years) make it being a single mother of 2 girls. She never let us see her struggle but we know she did. She never asked anyone for anything for us to survive. She ALWAYS made a way. And Christmas we got what we asked for and what’s even better, she told us the real meaning of Christmas. That’s why I learned and have taught my son the reason we celebrate December 25th.
My friend Mima. Even when I’m recovering from surgery, she makes sure I have some festive fun. Our Christmas baking each year together is always one of the highlights of the holiday season.
My son, He is a senior this year and focused on school, going to college, playing basketball. He is always responsible with school work and respectful to everyone.
My mother Jackie is my unsung hero. She always gives her last to help others, especially my sisters and I. I truly believe that is her purpose in life. Even though times may get hard for her sometimes she never fails to give someone else a helping hand if she can. She makes everyday feels like Christmas when she is around!!!
My sister is my HERO. She take care of so many people and never ask for anything in return. She takes care of our older sister and cousin who happen to be in a nursing home. She is not in perfect health herself but she never let that stop her from doing what need to be done. WE LOVE OUR YA-YA, that is what her grandkids call her, so now her kids as well as my kids refer to her as that.
My boyfriend is my unsung hero. My kids are not his but he will do any and everything for them just to make us happy. I really love him for that!
My niece makes the holidays more special because it’s her first Christmas and she has so much personality at 7 months and she’s been such a blessing to my life and has brought my family closer . Also she likes watching cooking shows with me lol.
The one person that makes my holidays a bit more special is my husband. After losing my sister and father, I lost a grip on life. I had no more hope or joy until he came into my life. He showed me that i have so much more to live for not just for myself but for them as well. I am so thankful that our paths crossed and forever grateful to God for joining us together!!!!
Although my husband is absolutely wonderful and truly is my everyday hero, my unsung hero is my Mom, She is the epitome of grace and compassion. After raising four biological children while being a daycare provider for over 25 years, she decided to open up her home to children in need. She became a foster mother and ended up adopting four more children. She wears her superwoman cape daily without even knowing it. She NEVER complains and is always there to provide words of wisdom, a hug, or unconditional love. I’m blessed to know her and if I am half the woman, wife, and mother that she is, my life would be more enriched. She is a wonderful person and what a privilege and honor to know her.
My husband is my unsung hero. He works countless hours & always makes sure we have a roof over our heads, food on the table & works long hours.
My Mother is the best! She have a terminal illness, but still manage to work, and hold the family down! Rather it’s emotionally, financially, and whatever else she can do to make things better. She’s my teacher, mother, best friend, and more! I’m 31, and couldn’t imagine life without her! Her, and my kids is ALL I GOT!
Love you Mama!!!! ????
My mom makes Christmas special – she has always gone above and beyond for our family, often putting us ahead of herself. Love her to pieces.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas filled with lots of joy and pepperpot!
My mom! I don’t ask her for much at all, but when I do need her, she’s always there…no questions asked.
My Dad is my hero! He had a triple bypass a few months ago and is still the same man we all know and love. My kids couldn’t have a better grandfather than him. He’s actually that “granpa” at the kids’ school to all the kids! I love him for al m he does for everyone, regardless of what he’s going through. I love you Daddy!
My unsung hero is my mom. She was single mother raising me and my brother. She worked 3 jobs at one time, always was there for us! I don’t know how she did it, she is superwoman.
My daughter is beyond wonderful. EVERY Christmas she hand makes blankets and soup and give to homeless people in our neighborhood. She’s not only a great daughter but a wonderful student and an excellent big sister. She will go out of her way to help around the house to make the work load for me easier. I don’t even have to ask. For a 14 year old I think that is amazing
YOU make my holiday awesome with all of your wonderful, delcious and easy recipes. I thank God for you!!!
my daughter is my unsung hero. she is a full time college student with a full time job. she also volunteers on her day off to help kids. she is my inspiration. oh, did I mention she pays for her own school and refuses to apply for school aid or loans. she puts in extra hours at work to pay her own way. she is the best!!!
My mommy is the person that makes Christmas special for me. I moved away from my hometown 3 years ago and I only get to see her a few times a year. But when Christmas rolls around, it’s a must that I get home to taste her sweet potatoe pie.
I am currently deployed to the Middle East. My sons Derrick and Darrius make the holidays special.
My mother who has always gone above and beyond to make our Christmas special.
My friend Ed has been my Secret Santa since the death of my significant other. Despite huge challenges in his own life, he always takes the time to meet for Cheer and memories of all the years we have known each other.
My boss is amazing. She has been extremely sick and away from the office for several weeks yet made sure that local charities received their donations from us, and that all of the employees received their Christmas gifts and bonuses. No matter how she’s feeling, she puts others first.
My husband is our unsung hero. He had a vasectomy after our 2nd child was born, but 2 years after that we regretted our decision. He was brave enough to have reversal to make me happy. We have had 2 more children since. He is willing to go to the moon and back for us.
