Oh. My. Gosh. This is the start of the holiday classic I've been waiting for! Finally! A Christmas play for the dark side! I love this story, the family history of Great(x7?) Gramma's recipe, the ambition of Holly and Felicia...the questionable ingredients! I would absolutely go see this story every December in lieu of the other holiday standards! Brilliant and naughty! Give me more! And pass the cookies!

Well done, Evan Baughfman! A creepy little piece that will have audiences asking for everyone's Christmas cookie recipes this holiday season just to check what goes into them. I'm planning on an Elf free holiday myself after reading SPECIAL PEPPERMINT, and no, I'm not going to explain what that means. Read this play before putting your hand in the cookie jar!

12.21.24 - I wonder if Evan Baufghman's eggnog has too much NyQuil in it. Something has to account for the absolute bonkers plot of this dark, hilarious-as-f*ck look at family tradition, baking and holiday secrets! I'm always assured when I read a play by Evan, that it will be both funny and disturbing (but in the best way). This would be a great addition to a night of holiday shorts, if only to watch the audience reaction when things get cooking. Although I'm sure peppermint sales will plummet.
