🎄 December Cheer: Holidays, Pets & Treats — Oh My!

December is one of the busiest — and most joyful — months of the year. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, or simply enjoy the cozy season with your pets, this month is all about connection, warmth, and creating memories with the ones you love… especially the furry ones.

At Martini Pet Services, we know your pets are part of the family. So while we’re keeping your yard clean this holiday season, we also wanted to share a little festive fun to brighten your home (and your pup’s day!).

🕎🌟 December Holidays to Celebrate With Your Pets

🎄 Christmas – December 25

A perfect time for matching pajamas, long winter walks, and dogs sneaking a sniff of wrapping paper.

🕎 Hanukkah – December 25–January 2

Eight nights of glowing lights and family traditions. Pets may not spin the dreidel—but they definitely love being part of the celebration.

🖤❤️💚 Kwanzaa – December 26–January 1

A beautiful celebration of heritage, unity, and community. Pets always manage to bring that extra sense of togetherness.

❄️ Winter Solstice – December 21

The shortest day of the year… and the perfect excuse for extra cuddles.

No matter which holidays you celebrate, there’s one thing all pet parents agree on: the season is better with a happy, healthy pet by your side.

🍪 Pet-Safe Holiday Cookie Recipe

A simple, festive, tummy-safe treat for your pup!

Peanut Butter & Oat Snowflake Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup oat flour (or blend rolled oats until fine)
½ cup plain pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
¼ cup natural peanut butter (NO xylitol)
1 egg

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix all ingredients in a bowl until a dough forms.
Roll the dough to ¼-inch thickness.
Use holiday cookie cutters—snowflakes, trees, stars—to cut shapes.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake 12–15 minutes, or until firm.
Let cool completely before sharing with your pup!

These treats store well for a week in an airtight container, or you can freeze them for later.
