But sometimes, you need something light, fresh, and honestly a little guilt-free to balance things out. Enter: the Christmas veggie tray. Now, before you…

Let’s be real for a sec: everyone talks about the Christmas ham or turkey, but you and I both know it’s the side dishes that people actually pile on their plates.

You either get stuck bringing napkins (the easy way out) or you’re the brave soul who volunteers to make Christmas snacks for the kids’ school party. Been there.
