Easy Chistmas Dessert Recipes for a Party
Brian Woodcock
'Tis the season for all things merry and sweet! From over-the-top gingerbread houses to your favorite peppermint candies, there are so many ways to celebrate the holidays with a Christmas treat. That's why we've rounded up the best Christmas dessert recipes to make all season long. Here, you'll find homemade cakes, Christmas pies, trifles, and more. Of course, no Christmas dessert roundup would be complete without Christmas cookies. Read on to find out some of our favorites.
If you're anything like Ree Drummond, you may have a few family favorites—like her cinnamon rolls—that get put on repeat year after. But that doesn't mean there isn't room for some new Christmas desserts, too. In this gallery, you'll find both classic treats, like a traditional yule log, along with fun new winter desserts, like hot chocolate cookies, eggnog cake, and gingerbread ice cream. Most of these recipes are easy enough that even novice bakers can master them. In fact, you can even get the kids involved in making them as a fun Christmas tradition.
You don't have to wait until Christmas dinner to make these festive desserts. Why not whip one up for a winter party or even just a night of watching Christmas movies? It is the holiday season, after all!
