NEW YORK (PRNewswire) -- Break out the Baileys and whip out your whisks, because the Baileys Holiday Baking Club is making it fun and easy to treat yourself and your loved ones this Holiday season.
Baileys and baking are synonymous with the holidays, and the time-honored tradition is living on (yes, even in 2020!), whether hosting a virtual soirée or an intimate gathering with loved ones.
The Baileys Holiday Baking Club brings together expert bakers to teach not-so-expert celebrities (and viewers at home) how to mix up the perfect Holiday treats, all while giving back in an effort to continue to support small businesses and meaningful causes during the season of giving.
Whether using the signature Baileys Original Irish Cream liqueur, or the limited-edition Baileys Red Velvet, baking with Baileys evokes those timeless Holiday traditions that so many crave this time of year.
The three-part series will be released weekly throughout December on Baileys' official Instagram (@BaileysUS) and will feature indulgent Baileys-infused Holiday treats specially curated by some of today's most celebrated bakers from across the country.
Each video will include step-by-step instructions (also available at Baileys.com) so viewers can follow along at home, because sharing the kitchen with loved ones while baking your favorite treats is a tradition that is essential to the perfect holiday celebration.
Tune in each week as the celebrities mix, measure and make a mess of their kitchens – having fun along the way.
And, for those who prefer to leave the baking to the pros, each treat will also be available for nationwide purchase after each episode airs until the end of December, while supplies last.
