10 Foods to Prep & Freeze Now for a Stress-Free Christmas

Christmas cooking doesn’t have to be stressful. In this video, I’m sharing 10 foods you can prep and freeze ahead of time so Christmas week feels calm, cozy, and focused on making memories — not living in the kitchen.

I’m showing you exactly how I make and freeze cinnamon rolls, side dishes, homemade rolls, a Christmas morning breakfast, easy lunches, and even dessert — all designed to be pulled straight from the freezer when you need them most.

If you love make-ahead meals, freezer prep, from-scratch cooking, and realistic homesteading, this video is for you.
