I just realized I have a cheesecake left over from last Christmas.
It has been in the freezer for a year. Its from Juniors NY and sealed in plastic. When I took it out today, their are ice crystals on approximately 25% of the cake.
Is this ok to serve for Xmas? Or will it not taste good?
I am not one to freeze a lot of food and when I do, usually we eat it fairly soon after freezing.
What do you think? I hate to throw it out, but I don't want to serve inferior food to guests either.
You can defrost it and try it, otherwise I would not serve to guests.

It's probably just fine. When you buy frozen cheesecake from the store, it usually has ice crystals.
If you want to dress it up a bit, you can melt some chocolate chips and stir in sour cream...a cup of chocolate chips and 3/4 cup sour cream, then spread it on the cheesecake while it's still warm.
It is probably OK to serve, but I'd taste it before serving and have a backup ready. Many turkeys you buy at the store for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner were slaughtered over 2-3+ years ago, yet people have no problem serving them for their epic dinners.

It certainly will be safe to serve, but may have lost some of its flavor. Go ahead, enjoy and try next time not to wait quite so long to use stuff that we stick in our freezer. You are not the first person to do somethinglike this and won't be the last. I make cereal mix every year, stick in freezer and as usually finishing it the following year. In fact this year I didn't make any cause I still had about 3 bags in the freezer. BTW,they taste must fine.
