Begin by taking your unsalted butter out of the fridge and letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. If you're short on time, microwave the butter for 10-15 seconds—just until it softens, not melts.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with cranberry sauce, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and fluffy.

After mixing, take a moment to taste your Christmas Cranberry Honey Butter. If you prefer it sweeter, add more honey; for an extra tart punch, incorporate additional cranberry sauce.

Transfer your vibrant butter to an airtight container, ensuring it’s sealed tightly, and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.

Once your butter has chilled and the flavors have mingled, it’s time to share the joy! Serve your Christmas Cranberry Honey Butter on warm biscuits, toast, or pancakes.
