Right around this time of year is when I start making my Christmas treats. What? Christmas recipes already? That’s right. You heard me. I start making my Christmas treats in October. And I have LOTS of favorite recipes!

Why? Well, my personal experience is it gets close to Thanksgiving life gets insanely busy with family get-togethers, Christmas shopping, and holiday activities, so why not get them done early??? All that I do is put my Christmas treats in freezer storage bags, press out the extra air, seal them, and then they are all ready!

I take them out the day before whatever event I want to use them for and – voila! They are ready with no stress for me! You should definitely do it and make your holidays less stressful. 🙂
