When I am feeling sad and down, I return to the basics – food and cinema. Being an introvert, I prefer staying at home during the holidays and love watching the best Christmas movies that uplift the mood. While binge-watching, I need something to munch on. This gives me the option to explore unique food items at home. If you also plan on staying inside this Christmas, try these unique Christmas-themed treats and fill your home with the wonderful aroma of holiday cooking.
Christmas Tree Veggie Platter

Snowman Cupcake
What fun is Christmas if there are no cupcakes and snow? After all, Christmas is plain and dull without these two prerequisites.

Easy to make, you would require clear sprinkles, regular chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, and orange tootsie rolls for the carrot nose, and you are good to go.
