You don’t have to be great at cooking to save Christmas.</p><h2>1. Edible Christmas Trees</h2><p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14228\" alt=\"quick-holiday-recipes_cones_600c390\" src=\"https://img.grouponcdn.com/seocms/7njdY2xNGQQchyBeuKA22S/quick-holiday-recipes_cones_600c390-600x390.jpeg\" width=\"600\" height=\"390\"></p><p><b>Instructions</b>: Drizzle green food coloring over ice-cream cones, then dress them with fir-tree clippings for a realistic taste/scent. <em>Prep time: 8 seconds</em></p><h2>2. Carrot-Donut-Men</h2><p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14231\" alt=\"quick-holiday-recipes_raisins_600c390\" src=\"https://img.grouponcdn.com/seocms/jJwm9TTxD2QibkhYNUWk4C/quick-holiday-recipes_raisins_600c390-600x390.jpeg\" width=\"600\" height=\"390\"></p><p><b>Instructions</b>: Stick the pointy ends of carrots into powdered donuts to make snowmen. Raisins make great eyes or weirdly round mustaches. <em>Prep time: 2 seconds per donut</em></p><h2>3. Peppermint Bologna</h2><p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14230\" alt=\"quick-holiday-recipes_peppermint_600c390\" src=\"https://img.grouponcdn.com/seocms/5wc66WKzWifkdzxEX2ZUZg/quick-holiday-recipes_peppermint_600c390-600x390.jpeg\" width=\"600\" height=\"390\"></p><p><b>Instructions</b>: Sprinkling homemade candy-cane dust on something makes it your own new peppermint creation. This one is a natural pairing because, like candy canes, bologna never, ever goes bad. <em>Prep time: 5 seconds, not counting all the stomping</em></p><h2>4. Wonder Bread Fruitcake</h2><p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14229\" alt=\"quick-holiday-recipes_fruitcake_600c390\" src=\"https://img.grouponcdn.com/seocms/eRTYJXrcVXekPctsZsA4ft/quick-holiday-recipes_fruitcake_600c390-600x390.jpeg\" width=\"600\" height=\"390\"></p><p><b>Instructions</b>: White bread + raisins = Wonder Bread fruitcake. <em>Prep time: 2 seconds&nbsp;</em></p><h2>5.

Strawberries are a great timesaver since they’re already red and green. <em>Prep time: 9 seconds, more if you have to drive to somewhere there’s snow</em></p><p><em>Photos by Nathalie Lagerfeld, Groupon</em></p>"}}}}
