Ho, ho, holy moly, it's already the holiday season! No matter how much you anticipate it, it just kinda creeps up on you really fast, doesn't it? Before you know it, you'll be buying gifts for everyone, hosting and attending festive fêtes, and enjoying all the revelry that makes the season so merry and bright.
With that in mind, Ree Drummond's holiday collection is already at Walmart to spread some holiday cheer. Case in point: One of the new pieces this year is the Merry Meadow 12-inch Ceramic Tree Baking Dish. It is so cute and so very merry that you may have trouble deciding: Is it better to buy one for yourself or gift it to someone on your shopping list?
Before answering that question, let's dish on the details to help you make up your mind. First, the tree itself is made of sturdy stoneware, which means all of those Christmas casseroles will bake and brown evenly before they're served in style. It's also dishwasher and microwave safe.
Second, look at that pretty acacia wood lid! Did you think, gosh, wouldn't that make a perfect charcuterie board? Exactly! The lid is meant to double as a serving tray and also a trivet so you can slide a hot dish on top and save the surface of your holiday tablescape. Ree is admitted "obsessed" with 2-in-1 baking dish sets, and she may have outdone herself with this one.
The last thing you should know before you make up your mind on whether you want to use it for your own Christmas dinner or make it a hostess gift: This little ceramic tree and lid set is only $30. That's practically a Christmas miracle either way! Great gifts under $30 are hard to come by but so are Christmas decorations.
Okay, final verdict? Santa says buy two: one for you and one as a gift for someone else. Did the big guy really say that? Listen, that just means he already put you on his "nice" list if he's saying you deserve it, so just go with it. Now that's the Christmas spirit!
