Sunday Doozy Picks • Food • Fun • Travel • Deals (December 28th Edition)
The quiet stretch between Christmas and New Year’s is its own little season.
No rush. No rules. Just comfort, downtime, and a little dreaming.
Here are this week’s Sunday Doozy Picks — a mix of cozy food, easy fun, travel inspiration, and a few deals worth grabbing before January hits.
🍔 FOOD
🥧 Pumpkin Pie French Toast (Comfort Mode: ON)
👉 See the Recipe
This is peak slow-morning food. Warm spices, soft bread, and that “one more bite” energy that makes weekends feel like weekends.
Perfect for:
- Lazy mornings
- Post-holiday brunch
- When cereal just won’t cut it
👉 Doozy Tip: This is a great excuse to finally upgrade that griddle, nonstick pan, or maple syrup you’ve been side-eyeing on Amazon.
☕ Upgrade-Your-Coffee Week
This is the week coffee gets you through… gently.
Think:
- A new mug you actually like
- Better creamer or flavored syrup
- A simple frother or reusable travel mug
Small upgrades make January mornings feel less aggressive.
👉 Worth browsing: coffee accessories and comfort mugs are still quietly discounted right now.
🎉 FUN
🎬 Cozy Movie Nights (No New Releases Required)
This is prime rewatch season. Comfort movies. Background shows. Something you’ve seen a dozen times but still love.
Why it works:
- No decision fatigue
- Easy background noise
- Perfect for puzzle nights or couch lounging
👉 Bonus: this is a great time to check streaming stick upgrades or soundbar deals before New Year pricing kicks in.
🧩 Puzzles, Cards & Low-Stakes Games
Not competitive. Not loud. Just something to do with your hands while you talk.
Ideal for:
- Family downtime
- Snowy afternoons
- Phone-free evenings
👉 Worth it: puzzles, card games, and board games often dip in price right after Christmas.
✈️ TRAVEL
🧳 Dream Now, Book Later
Late December is perfect for planning without pressure.
Browse:
- Spring break ideas
- Summer getaways
- Long weekends you can look forward to
You don’t need to book today — just give future-you something to get excited about.
👉 Travel gear tip: luggage, packing cubes, and travel accessories are often discounted before January travel season ramps up.
🏨 The Staycation Reset
Travel doesn’t have to mean far.
A night away.
A different coffee shop.
A local hotel with a pool or view.
Sometimes changing scenery is enough to reset your brain.
