The holidays are here, and New York dairy farmers are bringing seasonal magic from fresh milk to artisanal cheese and everything in between. Make your celebrations unforgettable by embracing the delicious versatility of dairy! Whether you’re warming up with creamy hot cocoa, sharing festive holiday eggnog, or serving a crowd-pleasing cheese board, dairy brings richness and joy to every dish. Here are seven ways dairy can turn your holiday into a true Holi-Dairy Magic experience.
1. Rich Tradition and Comfort
Dairy has been a holiday staple for generations, adding rich flavors and comforting textures that bring people together. From creamy mashed potatoes and buttery cookies to hearty casseroles, dairy elevates classic holiday meals.
2. Flavor and Versatility
Milk, butter, cream, and cheese enhance both savory and sweet dishes, offering depth, richness, and balance. With dairy, you can make any holiday recipe memorable for family and friends.
3. Nutritional Benefits
Dairy isn’t just for indulgence; it’s packed with essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamins D and B12. These nutrients support bone health, muscle function, and overall well-being—perfect for the bustling holiday season.
4. Sustainability
Many New York dairy farms prioritize sustainable practices. Choosing local dairy supports environmentally responsible farming and contributes to a healthier planet.
5. Elevating Traditional and Cultural Dishes
Dairy can enrich both traditional and culturally inspired holiday recipes. From adding cream to a classic Tres Leches cake to incorporating cheese in Mediterranean appetizers, dairy bridges flavors across traditions.
6. Holiday Desserts Made Better
Dairy is essential in holiday desserts, adding creaminess and indulgence to favorites like cheesecakes, custards, and whipped creams. It’s the smooth, satisfying touch every holiday meal deserves.
7. Perfect for Gifting
Homemade treats featuring dairy—such as butter cookies, fudge, or hot cocoa kits—make thoughtful and delicious holiday gifts. They bring a personal touch and the taste of home to any celebration

The holidays are right around the corner, which means flashy lights, colorful ornaments, shiny tinsel and blow ups of Frosty the Snowman will be in every direction that you turn! Though the flashiness of the decorations can be beautiful, sometimes you may want to go back and just enjoy the simplicity of a natural green wreath.
Wreaths are a beautiful and classic decoration that can be adorned on windows, doors, fireplaces and practically anywhere you can think of. That being said, as beautiful as wreaths are, they can tend to look a bit plain if you’re not a fan of the all-natural look.
But, what if you still want a natural looking wreath with decorations that aren’t flashy? We can help! Decorating a holiday wreath doesn’t have to be boring. Use items from around your house to create a beautifully unique wreath that will catch the eyes of anyone.
We’re going to make two different types of garland to wrap around your beautiful wreath with supplies that you can find in your house, or yard!
Garland One: a classic garland strand that is easy and delicious to make! All you need is popcorn (preferably not buttered) and cranberries. This is a classic staple to any holiday time décor . . . and it’s easy to make as well. Pop your popcorn and have thread and a sewing needle at the ready. Once you have acquired your ingredients, lace your popcorn and cranberries in any pattern that you like. The great part about garland is that it’s all up to you! Design and create the perfect strand of garland that will look great on your wreath.
Garland Two: this is a strand of garland that is a bit more difficult to create, but still equally as beautiful. All you need are dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, small pinecones and twine. You may be asking; how do I make dried oranges? Don’t worry, it’s simple:
Take an orange (preferably naval, or blood orange) and cut it into various wheels. Pat your citrus dry with a paper towel and arrange on a baking sheet. Now this is the boring part . . . place the sheet in the oven at 170 degrees for six to seven hours! Rotate the baking sheet every two to three hours to prevent burning. This is a tedious step, but it will ensure completely dried oranges and a wonderful smelling home!
Now, take your dried oranges and weave twine in and out its dried flesh (be careful not to tear anything).
Now that we have dried oranges, it’s time to put everything together! Use your twine and–to your liking–combine your cinnamon sticks, pinecones and oranges.
Making decorations for the winter season is easy. There are plenty of ingredients and supplies to make exciting and eye-catching wreaths for the whole winter season!
