So let’s go easy on ourselves. It’s fine if we don’t have an exquisitely trimmed tree or a perfect playlist or a signature cocktail. It’s also fine to take shortcuts in the kitchen. In my experience, a few smart shortcuts are the difference between feeling utterly frazzled or full of holiday cheer.
When it comes to kitchen shortcuts, I can think of none better than having a well-stocked freezer during the holidays. Why? Heat-and-eat appetizers and bake-shop quality desserts can be ready for unexpected guests at a moment’s notice. Baking a frozen pie and dressing it up with fresh whipped cream, or fancying up some frozen-then-thawed shrimp cocktail with different sauces, are tricks to always keep in your back pocket.
A few of my go-to items for holiday get-togethers are frozen spinach, frozen cranberries, and frozen raspberries. And then I always stash store-bought frozen puff pastry and phyllo dough, because, well, I’m obsessed with their buttery, flaky layers. Think of them as your secret weapons for the holidays, perfect for making all sorts of versatile, impressive-looking appetizers, sides, and desserts.
So in the spirit of those indispensable gift-giving guides that come out this time of year, I give to you 10 low-effort, high-reward ways to use frozen foods during the holidays—five savory and five sweet. With this playbook in hand, your holiday parties will be merry and bright, not to mention really delicious.Baked Brie in Puff Pastry with Cranberries, Pistachios, and Sumac
This is my new-fashioned take on brie in puff pastry, and it’s pretty breathtaking to behold. The steps are simple: Make a quick jam with frozen cranberries, honey, and sumac; spread it on top of brie, along with a sprinkle of toasted pistachios, before wrapping in thawed puff pastry; sprinkle more sumac on top; and bake until golden.

Good Charlotte Recording 10 New Songs To Be Played At Low Volume In P.F. Chang’sLOS ANGELES—Saying they were excited to take their pop-punk sound in new and barely audible directions, Maryland-based rock band Good Charlotte revealed Wednesday that the group is hard at work on an album that will be played at low volume in P.F. Chang’s restaurants nationwide. “After taking some time off from recording, we’re psyched to be back in the studio laying down 10 new tracks to serve as background noise while customers scan their menus and make light conversation over lettuce wraps with coworkers or visiting parents,” said frontman Joel Madden, noting that the band was aiming for a solid 40-minute album that P. F. Chang’s managers could play on repeat without anyone noticing. “When it’s finished, it’ll be the perfect soundtrack to blend in to the overall drone of clanging forks and chopsticks and the din of other tables’ conversations. We’ve already recorded a couple great songs that we’re excited for diners to not even consciously hear except for the roughly 50 seconds while they’re in the bathroom, where the sound system is a little more clear and audible.” Madden added that if the album is received well, he could definitely see the band softly playing in some larger eating venues in the future.
