Twin Kennedy are in the holiday spirit, with the release of their debut Christmas album, A Twin Kennedy Christmas, and a general excitement for the holiday season.
Carli and Julie Kennedy, twins from Powell River, BC, are country music makers, singing and writing and playing wherever the music takes them. And in the last few years the list of places they've been has grown continuously - and it looks like it's going to keep growing in 2018 and beyond.
To help get us all in the Christmas spirit, we asked the ladies of Twin Kennedy to pair up a favourite holiday recipe with a song from their new album... and Carli is going first with the pairing of Cold Weather and Truffle Rosemary Roasted Yams!
The song is sweet. The recipe is savoury. It's a perfect match. Cold Weather will make you want to cuddle up with someone you like while the snow falls and the temperature drops in the winter months.
Hit play for a listen now!
The pairing of Carli and Julie's voices is as on point as ever, and the soft and lovely sounds of Julie's fiddle is the perfect added touch.
Now, get yourself ready for a great holiday dinner by adding this recipe to the menu, and enjoy!
