MANILA, Philippines — Christmas is mostly for kids, so expect a lot of kids to be ever-present in parties, reunions and get-togethers this holiday season.
Children will also be tagging along with their parents a lot when friends, colleagues, and provincial- or overseas-based relatives suddenly come a-calling during the holidays — and beyond.
Don’t forget that godchildren might just visit on Christmas Day to “collect their gifts” and their siblings won’t be far behind.
So it is important to prepare little Christmas treats for the young ones to enjoy when they come.
How about making festive Christmas Cake Pops? Chef Jackie Ang Po has just the right recipe for you — simple, easy to prepare, colorful, and insanely delicious!
