Ever since I was little, I always remembered having an amazing Holiday treat tray at our family gatherings.

My grandma would make the most delicious cookies and candies and then put them on a festive plate for all of us to snack on BEFORE dinner.

I always thought it was amazing that we got the eat off of the treat tray and munch on the candy in the snowman candy bowls before we had our dinner. That’s every kids dream, right?

For most of my adult life, I have made my own special treat trays to bring to family gatherings and to take to work to share with coworkers. I have a day each year where all I do is bake and make candies.

It’s safe to say that’s one of my favorite days of the year! I put on my Christmas apron, turn on the Christmas tunes, and make ALL the treats I can think of.

Below are some of the treats I add to my Holiday treat tray every year. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family does!
