The holidays are already stressful enough without having to come up with creative and unique treats to feed your family and guests. Instead of using energy in experimenting in the kitchen, how about you just use this guide to find some festive Christmas and holiday treats that everyone at home is sure to love!
Lattice Cookies
These are both adorable and fun to package. Make little cookies that look like pies and then put them in fun little boxes that make it look like a little pie. Ingenious!
Holiday Biscotti
I love Christmas colors and this is a great way to incorporate them into your food. Just dip the biscotti in white chocolate or fudge, spread some green and red sprinkles on it, and then enjoy!
Shortbread Bites
These look almost too good to eat, don’t they!? You could decorate with these AND feed yourself and your guests. Put them in a beautiful container to make the presentation even better.
Chocolate Peppermint Patty Cake
This name sounds good enough to eat, so the actual dessert must be delicious! It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a great mixture of chocolate and peppermint that will leave you feeling satisfied.
Snowball Cookies
I love this idea; it’s so cute! Make little snowball cookies and then present them in a fun way (like this wonderful winter landscape) for everyone to enjoy looking at and eating!
Christmas Vanilla Roll Cake
If there is one dessert that summed up Christmas and the holidays, this would be it. This delicious and beautiful Christmas vanilla roll cake is exactly the kind of treat you need this year!
Peppermint Chocolate Cake
The ingredients are quite similar to the other cake, but this one looks completely different! The peppermint on the outside really adds an awesome touch of holiday spirit.
Chocolate and Hazelnut Candies
If you’re going for small and edible treats, then this is a great idea. Make these delicious bite size treats without much work at all. You can also improvise with different kinds of chocolate, too.
Eggnog Cupcakes
Eggnog is a classic Christmas staple, and now it can be in food form as well as drink! The fluffy and creamy cupcakes go so well with the eggnog flavor that you’ll be asking for more before you even finish.
Mint Chocolate Cheesecake
Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts, so any kind of Christmas cheesecake is definitely going to be on my list. This is a nice and simple way to get very Christmas-related flavors into a treat without having to put too much work into it.
Festive Cookies
Make cookies in all sorts of Christmas shapes and sizes. You could do trees, snowmen, gingerbread men and whatever else! You can also do different kinds of cookies to add to the diversity!
Candy Cane Brownie Trifle
If you thought candy canes couldn’t get any better, you have to try this treat! It’s a delicious blend of brownie and candy cane flavors all mixed together in a beautiful presentation!
