Holiday Kitchen Tips 2!

Updated: Oct 31, 2026 · Published: Aug 8, 2025 by Misty Tannery · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

I’ve got three simple yet game-changing holiday hosting tips in this episode to help make serving easier, stress-free, and a lot more enjoyable. Ready to make this season smoother and merrier? Let’s dive right in!

Binder Clips in the Kitchen?

YES! Using metal binder clips totally help in the kitchen. Add parchment paper to your baking pan and then use the binder clips to hold that paper down. When you need to lift that paper out everything comes out so much smoother! Be sure and watch the video below! LINK

Warming Pads for Serving

These are like magic when you need to serve several hot dishes at a gathering! These keep your dishes warm and ready. Another amazing tip for these is to set a sheet pan or heat resistant platter of fresh cookies on this! You will be able to serve WARM cookies! LINK

Easy Sliced Strawberries

I serve a lot of strawberries during the holiday, surprisingly since it is not a winter fruit! But they are so yummy with waffles, French toast, fruit salads etc. To make the process FASTER and look PRETTIER I use an egg slicer instead! Quick and efficient! Watch the video below! LINK





I LOVE kitchen tips. Anything that will make my life go a little quicker and be more efficient in the kitchen is a PLUS in my book. Especially during the holidays!
