Polar Bear Paw Print Cupcakes - These easy cupcakes are "beary" cute and delicious! This recipe was inspired by the film 'Norm Of The North', opening in theaters on January 15th! #NormOfTheNorth #ad

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is almost over, and that means it’s time to settle into the remainder of winter, and for the kids, they’ll be getting back into their school routine.

Things can start to feel a little boring in January, which is why I’m really excited about Norm Of The North, a wonderful family-friendly film opening in theaters on January 15th!

I watched the trailer for this film with the kids, and when the belly laughs started, I knew it was a winner. Evan and Kara loved Norm’s zany antics, and I can always root for a character who is a little quirky. Norm isn’t normal, and I love that!

I love it so much that I was inspired to make some cute and sweet Norm Of The North inspired polar bear cupcakes!

With help from his furry friends, Norm, a polar bear (voiced by Rob Schneider), embarks on an exciting adventure to New York to stop a maniacal developer from building luxury condominiums in his Arctic home.

A polar bear of many words, Norm’s greatest gripe is simple: there is no room for tourists in the Arctic. Norm is a truly unique polar bear who takes matters into his own hands to preserve his way of life. Norm faces the big apple, big business and a big identity crisis to save the day.
