To get our colleagues and customers in all TUI Deutschland branches in the mood for what is probably the most wonderful time of the year, more than 370 Advent packages set off on their long journey at the beginning of the month. Decorated with a small string of lights, the packages contained an Advent calendar and numerous other sweet treats to sweeten the pre-Christmas season and put a smile on the faces of our colleagues and customers.
If you now also feel like the smell of cookies and delicious, homemade cinnamon stars, then bake this cookie recipe:
