These Easy Holiday Recipes Will Make Your Season Bright—and Delicious

Let’s upgrade the usual cheese and crackers this year. This elegant app starts with (shh!) store-bought pie crust and takes all of 15 minutes to make.

You know what makes a great last-minute gift? A Ziploc® Brand Freezer Bag (for maximum freshness, of course) full of these buttery cookies, snuck in your guests’ bags on the way out the door.

What’s the secret? Easy: Squeezing the liquid from the potatoes and onions until they’re bone dry ensures an impossibly crispy bite.

We love when our entrée matches the decor—almost as much as we love a one-skillet holiday main. Less mess, more eating.

Instead of standing over a smoky pan to get the caramelization you’re after, envelop your sprouts in bacon and roast them in the oven. They’re the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer (or side).

Skip the tedious homemade crust and pick up a can of cinnamon rolls at your next grocery run. Voilà, this dessert is already halfway done.

Who says the side dishes can’t be as impressive as the main course? Luckily, this technique only looks intricate. (It’s actually foolproof.)

When you make a turkey in the slow cooker, there’s zero fussing. No basting, rotating or messing around with tinfoil—just 30 minutes of prep time and the push of a button. Plus, you’re saving precious oven space.

In a sea of sugar cookies, be these homemade candies. They’re unexpected but just as festive, and you can make a batch in the time it takes to watch that holiday movie you’ve seen seven times.
