The “So Cute” $5 Holiday Gem I’m Bringing to Every Host Instead of a Bottle of Wine

You don’t have to be a pro in the kitchen to decorate your Christmas tree like a chef. Target is back again this year with the cutest holiday ornaments for us food obsessives. This December, I’m garnishing my tree with a $5 spicy glass taco ornament — and giving it to all of my friends, too. Like all the best tacos (in my humble opinion), it’s wrapped in a flour tortilla and is festive with glittery red and green fillings. 

Although not as delicious, this adorably sparkly $5 taco will last way longer than the real deal. Plus, it makes a perfect hosting gift for the holidays! While the price is hard to beat, in case your local Target’s out of the tacos, you can find similar taco ornaments at Amazon, Michaels, and Nordstrom for a few dollars more.

If tacos aren’t your thing, there are plenty of other ways to make your tree look good enough to eat. Other $5 highlights from Target’s “Wondershop” line include:

• A frosty stack of donuts complete with festive sprinkles
• A whole pepperoni pizza serving pizzaiolo vibes on its mini wooden peel and dainty basil leaves
• A meat river-topped charcuterie board fit for any holiday gathering
• An eternally sizzling stone bowl of bibimbap with chopsticks at the ready 
• A singular marbled slab of bacon that’s guaranteed to incite a stealing spree at your white elephant party

Williams-Sonoma is bringing elegance to the world of food ornaments with baubles for the gourmand, including:

• A nearly life-side deviled egg topped with dill fronds and paprika
• An extravagant sushi plate that will last longer (and cost less) than any omakase experience 
• A tin of sardines in tomato for the die-hard tinned fish lover in your life

Sur la Table has a fun selection of highly detailed blown glass tree ornaments serving eye candy, including:

• A seedy everything bagel sandwich with an appropriate layer of cream cheese
• A fully loaded seafood paella with shell-on shrimp and just-opened mussels
• A bejeweled bottle of champagne perfect for the season

Between these tasty baubles and bejeweled meals, your tree is about to become the most Instagram-worthy spread in town. Who’s hungry for some decorating?
