The holiday season is approaching quickly, and before you know it, friends and family will be gathering at holiday parties. This year, consider a new twist on entertaining and forget the main course.

"You can mix it up with store bought delicacies as well as easy-to-make recipes. It's way simpler than a formal sit-down dinner, and a refreshing change." Silverstein offers tips on how to prepare creative holiday appetizers and desserts, get the kids involved, and make your next party a memorable one.
