Sturdy evergreens trimmed with garland and lights, playlists packed with your favorite carols and glasses of sweet, spiked eggnog: Is there anything better than holiday party season?

Aside from the joy of spending time with family and friends, most of us look forward to this season’s get-togethers because of the snacks. (So. Many. Snacks.) This is the time of year when we treat ourselves to our favorites — and reinvent them in fun, festive ways.

Not sure you can create a gigantic standing snowman made of cupcakes or an elaborate Santa bread pastry (complete with his signature hat and beard)? Try making a wreath. This simple shape is perfect for decorators of any skill level — and full of holiday cheer!

Like wintry mounds of fluffy, fallen snow this meringue wreath is sure to get you in the holiday spirit. For a light, airy texture, add the sugar into the mixing bowl slowly, in several batches. This helps the sugar dissolve — and won’t deflate your whipped egg whites.

Who needs presents to unwrap when you can tear into this sweet, swirled masterpiece? You’ll be surprised how easy it is to create the pull-apart design. Instead of slicing your log of rolled dough into individual discs, connect the two ends and cut slits (one inch apart) all around the ring. Then, simply fan the pieces out to form a wreath.
