4. Oreos

Pizzas are among the many easy food options for winter break. They come with many toppings for everyone to enjoy.

2. Nachos

Moreover, nachos are also something easy that anyone could make. This northern Mexican recipe is beloved by many.They are good for an easy, let’s say, meal while watching movies all day long.

1. Chili

Ultimately, chili was save for the last because it’s the best. Chili is good throughout the winter months because when it’s cold outside, you don’t want cold food. Chili is a rather hot, spice stew.
