Oprah’s Holiday Favorite Things List is finally here, and as usual, it’s loaded with things we would love to buy for our loved ones as gifts. But even better? This year, the list has several items that are gifts for those of us who are hosting for the holidays, but are short on time. We’re talking gourmet cookies you can set out for guests with hot cocoa, luscious cakes, and even a gourmet cheese and charcuterie board. Sometimes, convenience and quality are just worth a little splurge, so if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by your holiday hosting responsibilities, take a look at these ready-to-eat items from Oprah’s Favorite Things List.
Kyri’s Kookies
Craving something sweet this holiday season? Looking for a memorable treat for Santa and other holiday guests? Try a dozen of Kyri’s Cookies. This Oprah’s Favorite Things pick features large, organic luxury cookies in flavors like Chocolate Chunk with Walnuts, Oatmeal Cran-Raisin, and The Georgia Pecan Turtle — you’ll get two of each flavor. The cookies are made with ingredients like Madagascar vanilla bean, pure cocoa butter, Georgia caramel, and black cocoa. It’s a splurge, sure, but one you deserve.
Angela Logan’s Mortgage Apple Cakes
This cake isn’t just delicious, it also has an amazing story. Baker Angela Logan needed to save her home from foreclosure, so she made a goal to sell 100 cakes in 10 days. The cake? Mortgage Apple Cake, which is loaded with fresh chopped apples and spices, then topped with a luscious cream cheese frosting. Needless to say, Logan ended up selling 900 of the delicious cakes and became a huge success, and now you can order one for your own family this holiday season.
Boarderie Baked Brie Charcuterie Board
There’s something so indulgent about baked brie, especially when it’s wrapped in flaky puff pastry. But this set from Boarderie takes baked brie en croute to the next level, pairing the creamy cheese with gourmet ingredients in four different flavors: chocolate, espresso, and raspberry; rosemary, sun-dried tomato, and olive; blueberry, vanilla, and ginger; and truffle, fig, and orange. The set comes with an acacia wood charcuterie board for serving, and the cheeses, which come frozen, just need to be baked for 20 minutes before serving.
Point Reyes Celebration Collection Cheese Gift Basket
If you’ve never tried Point Reyes’ cheese, you’re in for a treat. This cheese gift box, which is like an insta-party, includes the award-winning cheeses Toma, Toma Rashi, Toma Provence, Toma Truffle, Blue Bay, and Quinta. It also comes with Effie’s Homemade Pecan Biscuits and Janet’s Finest Compotes Raspberry Jalapeno spread, which pairs beautifully with all of the cheeses. Just unwrap and serve!
