He Put Some Food In A Mug And Made An Entire Christmas Dinner In Five Minutes

Slaving away in the kitchen during the holidays takes away from your time sharing in the holiday spirit.

By the time you finish most of the cooking and sit down to eat, your body doesn’t have much energy left to open presents or really get into the night’s events. The preparation of a feast for one can be just as discouraging for those spending the holidays alone this year. But what if I told you that an elaborate Christmas dinner was only a few minutes away?

Former “MasterChef” contestant Theo Michaels is sharing his five-minute Christmas dinner recipe that is so easy to do, you can make the entire meal in the microwave. Did we forget to mention that Michaels incorporates all your holiday faves into a coffee mug?
