The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the sweet tradition of baking treats for friends, family and gatherings! From cookies for Santa to desserts for seasonal celebrations, holiday baking is a meaningful way to spread love, cheer and smiles. (After all, these treats are made with your own two hands!)
As wonderful as holiday baking can be, however, it can feel overwhelming. We know that between picking the best recipes, finding the right ingredients and juggling busy schedules, it’s easy to lose sight of the joy in the process. Don’t worry — Food Town is here to make holiday baking happier! Here, we’ve pulled together tips, tricks and recipes aimed at taking the stress out of the season. Grab your apron and let’s get started!

Food is always one of the most important aspects of a holiday party, but have you considered incorporating it into the gathering’s overall theme? Cookie and cake parties don’t just supply attendees with yummy eats — they make for fun activities, too! Let’s dive into how they work.
Bake Up Some Fun with a Holiday Cookie Party
Nothing spreads cheer quite like a holiday cookie party! Whether you’re hosting friends, family or your kids’ classmates, it’s the perfect way to bring people together over a shared (and scrumptious) activity. Here’s how your Food Town can help:
Meet the Latest Holiday Get-Together Trend: The Cake Party
Move over, cookies. There’s a new tradition in town! The cake party is all about letting guests’ creativity shine while providing tasty treats they can enjoy themselves or take home to share. There are a few ways you can go about it.
Looking to avoid the chaos of shopping malls while giving a present that’s straight from the heart? Bake a gift for the folks on your list! Package up homemade goodies such as fudge, toffee and snack mixes in reusable containers or mason jars topped with bows and ribbons!
While you’re at it, why not get the family involved? From help with measuring ingredients to decorating finished treats and packaging them up just right, turning holiday baking into a family tradition is a wonderful way to create memories together. Here are some baked gift ideas.
Mix it Up with Holiday Trail Mix and Snack Mix
Holiday trail mixes and snack mixes are a budget-friendly way to spread cheer, and they can be customized to suit any taste! With a quick trip to Food Town, you can grab everything you need to create flavor-packed mixes.
Looking to position your snack mixes for success? If your recipients have allergy concerns, or if you just aren’t sure, consider removing nuts and dairy items from your blend. Also, the best snack mixes are visually appealing blends that include a variety of flavors, colors and textures — crunchy pretzels and fluffy popcorn, for instance, or salty mixed with sweet and/or spicy. Don’t forget, it’s OK to make your mixes in advance! Most store well in airtight containers for up to two weeks! Here are some great recipe ideas.
Save Bread by Gifting Delicious Holiday Breads
Holiday breads are perfect for sharing warmth and love with friends, family and neighbors. But don’t forget, friends. People eat with their eyes. (In other words, packaging matters.) Consider wrapping your loaf in parchment paper or foil, then finishing it off with a decorative tea towel or holiday paper. Reusable packaging such as loaf pans or holiday tins is another great idea! A handwritten recipe card or gift tag can add a great finishing touch, while bundling your bread with homemade jam, honey or flavored butter makes the gift extra decadent. Here’s a roundup of holiday breads that will make your gift-giving extra special this year.
Cranberry Orange Bread: This moist, citrusy bread is bursting with the bright flavors of orange zest and tart cranberries, making it a festive favorite.
Banana Nut Bread: A classic comfort food, banana nut bread feels like a warm hug in a loaf. Add pecans or walnuts for a Southern twist.
Cinnamon Swirl Bread: Warm, soft and aromatic, cinnamon swirl bread is the ultimate holiday breakfast gift. The beautifully marbled interior looks as good as it tastes.
Pumpkin Spice Bread: Packed with warm spices and the rich flavor of pumpkin, this bread screams holiday coziness. It’s a crowd-pleaser and perfect for gifting.
Chocolate Zucchini Bread: Moist, rich and indulgent, this bread combines the goodness of zucchini with the decadence of chocolate — ideal for chocoholics on your gift list.
Challah (Braided Bread): This beautiful braided loaf is not only delicious, but symbolic of love and unity — making it a meaningful gift for the holidays.
Gingerbread Loaf: Gingerbread in loaf form combines the spicy warmth of the holidays with the ease of slicing and serving. Pair it with a jar of homemade glaze or cream cheese frosting for a complete gift.
