This is a small commissioned mod that adds new content that works alongside Vanilla Cooking Expanded, Vanilla Cooking Expanded - Bakery, Vanilla Christmas Expanded and Expanded Materials - Christmas. It adds a whole collection of Christmas-themed elements to enrich your playthrough.

Candycane Tree
The new candycane tree can be planted to obtain candycane wood from EM - Christmas. This wood is now edible, as well as the mod's gingerbread plates, which can also now be used as a stuffable material and crafted by the player in one of VCE - Bakery ovens.
Special Winter Plants
All the new plants included in this mod have a special behavior. They grow faster the colder the climate is, effectively allowing them to grow even on ice sheet biomes.
Craftable EM - Christmas foods
Additionally, Christmas Cookies and Candycanes from EM - Christmas are now craftable by the player. Candycanes require candycane wood at a stove and Christmas Cookies can be made with this mod's new ingredients at a bakery oven from VCE - Bakery.
Milkberry Bush
This new bush can be planted to produce milkberries, a new type of berry that can be eaten raw and also processed to make festive milk, a new variety of milk which can be used in a lot of recipes.
Peppermint Wheat
A new crop that yields peppermint stocks when harvested. Peppermint stocks can be threshed at a butcher table or crafting spot to separate the festive chaff from the peppermint grains. Festive chaff can be used like hay to feed animals and make kibble, while the peppermint grains can be grounded into peppermint flour at a stonecutter table.
Christmas Cotton
This new plant produces festive fiber, which can then be weaved into Christmas Fabric from EM - Christmas at a tailoring bench.
Archean Christmas Tree
A new variety of the Archean Tree which also produces light bright enough for plants to grow and occasionally grows seeds, which can be harvested. With those seeds, you can plant more Archean Christmas trees or, if you plant them within the tree's radius, they'll grow a Festive Orb Bush.
Festive Orb Bush
A special bush that emits both light and heat. It produces enough heat to grow crops even in cold climates.
Festive Milk
A special type of milk made from milkberries at a stove. Festive milk can be used like regular milk, but it's also required in a lot of special recipes.
Festive Soup
A special type of soup that works just like VCE soups. It requires festive milk and needs to be cooked in the soup pot from VCE.
Festive Cheese
A special type of cheese made from festive milk in the cheese press from VCE.
Festive & Christmas Confections
Using a combination of festive milk and festive flour, you can make a huge amount of different confections like the ones from VCE - Bakery, but with a special festive flavor, with Jollyful variants when made with extra festive milk, for that extra joyful taste.

The main features of the mod were tested; however, bugs might appear. If you find one, please make sure to report it in the comments or in my Discord server. Attach a HugsLib log if you get any log errors, since that would make fixing them way easier.

Q: Save game compatible?
A: Should be, but don't remove it from a save, it might break things.
Q: Can I suggest a feature?
A: Of course, but keep in mind this is a commissioned mod, therefore it's considered to be a finished work as it is unless stated otherwise.
