A mix of Classic Christmas desserts and Delicious Drinks

Some would agree the best part of the holiday season is giving and receiving different treats and beverages! Whether they’re homemade or picked up from your favorite local shop, they’re given with love and meant to be shared. We put together a list of traditional holiday desserts & drinks perfect for giving as a gift or preparing for a gathering with friends and family.

Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

Baking Christmas sugar cookies is a tradition many families create and continue. Decorating the sugar cookies can be fun for everyone, especially your little ones! There’s so much you can do with sugar cookies. Not only can you use any cookie cutter design you dream of, but you can also use sprinkles and icing to decorate. They make a great gift too! Place a few in a cute festive gift bag or box and surprise a friend.

Apple Pie

There’s something about apple pie that reminds you of your home or family. The apple filling and cinnamon spices are comforting and so wholesome. Be sure to pair this delicious dessert with some vanilla bean ice cream and some whipped cream. You can’t go wrong with homemade apple pie.

Everything Red Velvet

Red velvet is a very colorful red dessert, which is why it’s perfect to add to your holiday dessert spread. Some people think red velvet is as simple as adding food coloring, but it’s more than that! Many red velvet desserts include ingredients like cocoa, cream cheese, and white chocolate chips. Whether it’s a freshly baked red velvet cake or cookies you’ll feel the Christmas spirit!

Peanut Brittle

A common treat around the holidays is peanut brittle. People love giving and receiving peanut brittle because it’s usually only around Christmas time that people make it. If you like peanuts, you’ll definitely love peanut brittle.

Fudge

Another common treat during Christmas time is chocolate fudge. Fudge can be as simple as plain chocolate or it can be elevated with the addition of nuts, caramel, peppermint, marshmallows, maple syrup, and more! Traditional fudge is rich and creamy. It melts in your mouth and leaves you wanting more until it’s all gone.

Eggnog

Eggnog is traditionally made with eggs, sugar, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. It’s often spiked with alcohol, such as brandy, and topped with freshly grated nutmeg and cinnamon sticks. Eggnog is a classic seasonal drink.

Hot Chocolate

Nothing warms you up from the cold like a mug of hot chocolate. Hot chocolate is always served best with a handful of marshmallows and a swirl of whipped cream on top.

Holiday Punch

Almost everyone’s family has a famous holiday punch! Once a year, the whole family gathers and enjoys the family holiday punch. It’s unique to each individual family. Typically, holiday punches include alcohol but they don’t have to!

Macchiato

It isn’t Christmas morning without a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee, but why not take it a step up and make it a macchiato? We all need the extra boost of caffeine during the holiday season.
