Easy Cranberry Muffins

I always shop with a list, but there are days I deviate and grab things I don’t need. I usually convince myself I’ll need whatever it is for the upcoming holiday, like cranberries to make these Easy Cranberry Muffins for Christmas!

My readers loved these Easy Strawberry Muffins this summer, so I thought I would use that recipe with cranberries instead! These delicious muffins work perfectly to give as a gift to your neighbors, take to a holiday potluck, or serve at a Christmas brunch!
