Holiday stress? 5 simple steps to stay stress-free this season:

  1. Share the holiday love.  Give guests a chance to share in the holiday spirit. When everyone brings an appetizer or a drink it means less time in the kitchen for you. Don’t feel like a potluck celebration? Ask guests to bring a non-perishable food item to donate to a food pantry. ‘Tis the season of sharing.

  2. Save time with simple shortcuts. There’s no need to feel guilty about taking shortcuts. Start your appetizers with Pillsbury Crescents or try one of our top holiday appetizers. A simple solution that will wow your guests.

  3. Doughboy to the rescue. Download our Doughboy Holiday Recipe Cards and use them as labels for your appetizers.  It’s a win-win, guests will know what they’re eating and be able to take the recipe home if they’d like.

  4. Keep it simple. Remember, quality over quantity when it comes to holiday recipes.  Stick to a few really good recipes that you know and love. It means less stress for you and more smiles for your guests.

  5. Great eats, to-go. When sending leftovers home with your guests add a nice  from-my-kitchen tag so your guests know what’s in the bag!

3 tips for that extra special warm welcome:

  1. The smell of the holidays is in the air. When guests are on their way there’s nothing simpler to make than Pillsbury cookies.  Just pop them into the oven and the smell of fresh cookies will make your guests feel right at home for the holidays.

  2. Bask in the holiday glow. Well-placed lighting doesn’t have to be complicated to leave a warm holiday feeling. Try a lit candle on the table or a string of white lights on the mantel to set a subtle, soft holiday atmosphere.

  3. ‘Tis the season of sound. Be sure to have your holiday music ready to play at the touch of a button.  There’s nothing better than some traditional holiday songs to get everyone in that holly-jolly mood.
