Storing holiday food, whether its leftovers from a big meal, side dishes for a potluck, or edible treats you want to gift, requires a little forethought to guarantee items arrive safely or store easily in your fridge.  

First, consider the item you are looking to transport. For example, if it is a hot casserole, don't bother reheating it; transport it in the dish you used to cook it. If you are handing out cookies or cupcakes with frosting, ensure your storage container won't compromise the design.
