HEALTHY christmas/holiday treats?

So, we're already making christmas treats  
and my friend, the kids and i are going to be making homemade candy 'n such for family & friend's gifts
(some homemade almond roca we did  )


My kids love making it, not so much eating it  

BUT, my mom, she doesn't eat sweets, unhealthy carbs, etc etc.
Pretty much lives off of raw fruits/veggies/etc.

With all the goodies we bring over there for my dad, i really wanna go all out and bring her something awesome/tasty/christmas'y stuff that she can eat.

Anyone have any ideas?

I thought maybe something like this

Those fruit trees are great but you can't really prepare them too far in advance. make sure you are familiar with how to make them so that it is a quick process before the fruit mushes and juices weep.

watching!  

I love the fruit tree! What about pumpkin cookies? Or is that still too unhealthy?

oh definitely! and i figured i'd make a mini one out of like, raspberries/strawberries and grapes   take it over with the kids and just let 'em devour it. maybe make the little yogurt dip with it?

Yummmm. Apples hold well if you give them a quick soak. Soak them in water with a crushed up vitamin C. It will slow the browning of the apple!

oh yeah, haha, she wouldn't touch a cookie  
it's so tough too! like, she's not on a 'diet' she just did a full on 'lifestyle change' and it's worked so well for her that over the past year she was able to get off her blood pressure meds. i definitely miss chowin' down on some christmas treats with her though

oh definitely! yum  

These are cute but maybe yogurt or hummus for the veggies and fruits.

Healthy but still cute and more interesting than a fruit or veggie tray lol.
