Holiday treats are an important part of the seasonal celebrations. There are many festivities to which people are invited to bring food to share. Co-workers are likely to bring something for snacking during the holiday season. People entertain more during the holidays and this usually means sweets of some type will be served. These treats are often laden with generous helpings of fat and calories. The recipes often can be modified to be healthier.
