What's everyone making for your December shows????

Just curious as to what you are making :D
 
I'm pretty much sticking with a "holiday appetizer" theme....can do lots of different things with that, including the baked brie, pepperoni pinwheels, mini ham puffs, elegant artichoke hearts, etc. But, I'm also offering simple, simple simple solutions with dips made with our dill or sw seasoning. Also, the harvest spiced nuts are good for an appetizer with a "gift to go" theme.
 
I want to do Homeade for the Holidays....going to try out some stuff this weekend.
 
I think I'm going with the Baked Brie and a Trifle. So easy and great for entertaining.
 
I think I'm going hands on with Homeade for the Holidays.

Make the Cinnamon Roll Tree before/as they arrive so we can bake it and then snack on it. Make the Cranberry Bark Crunch thingy and the Pretzel Wreaths together--everyone have a station so they can take their wreath home. :) Bring a premade Batter Bowl mix as a display.

I think keeping it festive will be great for sales. :)
