Just like an English Fruit Cake that is loaded with calories but in a small cookie you can just have one or two and not worry about it .So you can ENJOY your fruit cake ....the rest you can FREEZE as they freeze really well and can take out only the amount you want to eat ......
They are not like an American fruit cake which most people seem to dislike this is a rich English fruit cake which most English people can not resist and eat too much of it ...this way you can control the amount you eat ...
As you can see in the photo below ..they make GREAT GIFTS too ...and can be frozen before the big day and then taken out on Christmas Eve or the day before and once defrosted completely packaged up for a gift

Hope you make these 

You can make them anytime from now and freeze them 

On the big day you could always drizzle some icing (powdered Confectioner's sugar mixes with a few drops of water) 

Or dust with powdered confectioner's sugar for a snowy effect 

Enjoy
