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!
These gluten free, vegan, rich, and fudgy brownie truffles are one of my favorite Christmas time treats. You can decorate them with so many different types of cute garnishes! Coconut flakes and sprinkles are some of my favorites!

Planning your meals in advance can help you avoid the temptation to eat foods that contain gluten and dairy.
Plus, hummus is naturally vegan, gluten free, dairy free and healthy. But most importantly: dangerously delicious. (I'm not kidding: put me in a room with a bowl of hummus and a spoon, and it'll be gone faster than you can say “homemade hummus”.
Symptoms of celiac disease include: Gas, a swollen belly, and bloating. This happens because the small intestine can't absorb nutrients from food. You may also have mild stomach pain, but it usually isn't severe.
Gluten belly, also known as wheat belly, is a common phrase that refers to stomach swelling after eating gluten as a result of bloating. Along with bloating, one may also develop symptoms such as stomach pain, flatulence, or irregular bowel movements.
Gluten stays in your system for one to two days. After that, any undigested gluten that remains in your body is excreted along with other waste products. That doesn't necessarily mean that you will feel 100% better once that happens, though.

Popcorn is naturally gluten-free and suitable for most people with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
