For additional inspiration for this week’s mission, we partnered with Almond Breeze and Walmart Canada for our Holiday Treats program. We hand-picked eight Gastroposters to use Almond Breeze and Walmart Canada products to create their very own #gastropostholiday sweet treat recipes just in time for the holidays.

After another incredible year of missions, it’s time to digest all the great food you’ve shared. Gastropost is taking a break over the holidays. But fear not, our next new mission will be launched here on Jan. 6, 2016! We’re going to be asking you What’s Cooking for 2016, so get your culinary thinking caps on and decide on what foods you’re looking forward to trying in the new year. In the meantime, you can continue to keep in touch and show your fellow Gastroposters what you’re eating over the holidays at gastropost.com. We’ll also be printing a special edition of Gastropost in next week’s Province featuring a look at Your Year of Missions. Stay hungry, Gastroposters. It’s going to be another mouth-watering year of missions! “Nothing says holiday sweets like an ugly sweater cookie!” says Gastroposter Jessica Smith.
