‘Tis the season for good eats and drinks! Here are our tasty recommendations to bring to your holiday parties, give as office gifts and surprise your Secret Santa and more.

Sugar Bowl Bakery

Looking for fancy and convenient dessert to bring to a party? Sugar Bowl Bakery’s line of desserts includes delicious petite palmiers, brownie bites, and madeleines. On the website, you can download recipes and view dessert making videos. Sugar Bowl Bakery treats can be found in Costco and other top retailers.

 Cascade Ice Sparkling Water

Be the “hostess with the mostest” this season by using Cascade Ice to mix up the perfect holiday drinks. Cascade Ice has more than 21 delicious and unique flavors including Cranberry Pomegranate, McIntosh Apple, Orange Mango, and Coconut, as well as a line of skinny cocktail mixers in 6 classic flavors including Margarita, Cosmopolitan and Apple Tini. With all of these different flavors, you and your friends will surely find some they really like! My favorite was the lemonade flavor. Cascade Ice Zero-Calorie Water is free of unnecessary and unhealthy “extras” found in other flavored waters, like calories, sodium, caffeine, gluten and sugar.
