Last chance to enter the Post Bulletin Holiday Goodie Contest!

Friday is the deadline to enter the annual Post Bulletin Holiday Goodie Contest for 2026, so send us your best recipe — the one where folks at the holiday party won't even leave the crumbs. Pick your best holiday sweets recipe — cookies, bars, hand-made holiday candies — then send us a copy. Food writer Holly Ebel will then sift through the entries and pick the contestants. Those chosen will bake up a batch of their holiday goodies and bring them into the Post Bulletin for judging. Our panel of judges will then pick the winner. Photos will be taken and recipes shared — that's holiday magic right there. Hy-Vee is sponsoring this year's contest with gift cards of $150, $100, $50 to the winner, second and third place. That and bragging rights are prizes worth the effort. The deadline to submit your recipe is Nov. 13, 2026, and finalists will be notified by Nov. 16. Entries — a plate of goodies — must be delivered to the Post Bulletin's office at 1700 Greenview Drive SW on Nov.
