festive treats
Celebratory party snacks
Festive treats are special foods prepared for holidays and celebrations—cookies at Christmas, candy at Halloween, sweets during Diwali.
The phrase emphasizes both the occasion and the indulgence: The table was covered with festive treats.
What counts as a treat varies by culture and holiday, but the implication is always something enjoyable and out of the ordinary.
