Best Christmas Desserts for Your Holiday Treats Table
Holiday desserts have a magical way of bringing us all together. Creating moments of joy, especially if you’ve been separated from your loved ones for most of the year.
And what’s a holiday gathering without a dessert table loaded with treats ranging from classic gingerbread to holiday cookies?
It’s the centerpiece of merriment that’s too good to resist!
Gingerbread House
Cozy up by the fire and get the entire family involved when building a gingerbread house. Create a decorating station and let the little ones unleash their creativity while building their sugary masterpiece with icing and candy.
Pro Tip: Have them decorate the ginger panels first before assembly. It’s way easier to add icing when the panels are still lying flat. Once you’re done decorating, let your gingerbread panels rest for a bit before you assemble them to make them sturdy.
Peppermint Bark
This holiday treat is a seasonal sensation of sorts. The moment you sink your teeth into that first piece, you’re greeted with a variety of textures and flavors. Silky chocolate, crisp peppermint, and the satisfying snap that comes with each nibble. The combination of sweetness and peppermint freshness will keep everyone on their toes.
