Holidays are times to celebrate…unless you’re the one stuck in the kitchen while your guests are having fun. Wouldn’t you like to dazzle everyone with the menu while saving yourself stress over the dishes you’re serving? Never fear—Woman’s Day Celebrate! is here with the perfect menu planners for your Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter feasts. Find everything from hors d’oeuvres and appetizers to main courses and desserts. These recipes are guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of your family and guests. You’ll have a smile on your face, too, thanks to the plan-ahead guides that accompany our complete dinners. No more feeling overwhelmed the day before, and the day of, a big culinary event. We provide a step-by-step countdown for buying, assembling and preparing ahead.

Some recipes can even be started a week in advance, which means more breathing room for you as the big day approaches. Wouldn’t you rather be enjoying the “oohs” and “aahs” heard around the table than hearing yourself say “Uh-oh, what did I forget?” With Celebrate! in your corner, you won’t feel the heat because you’ll be out of the kitchen in record time.

And there are more good times to come because Celebrate! also includes party treats and tricks for Valentine’s Day and Halloween. Show the kids your love by surprising them on February 14 with our Quick-Cut Heart Cookies and Red Velvet Cake. Then give that special someone a slice of your affection with our Sweetheart Cake. On October 31, when the frost’s on the pumpkin and there’s a chill in the air, bewitch all your ghosts and goblins with devilish delights like Mini-Haunted Houses and our Jack-o’-Lantern Cake. Whatever you decide to serve, you’re sure to make any ghoul drool.

No matter what the holiday occasion, we have the menus and recipes that are sure to please you and your guests. And that’s definitely something to celebrate!
