With the holidays upon us, festive and delicious food ideas are top of mind. We have many favorite sweet treat traditions to share! We hope you find something on this list that will appeal to your crowd’s seasonal tastes.
#1 Super-Sized Cinnamon Roll
This is our best holiday breakfast tradition! Making a giant, supersized cinnamon roll with my kids in preparation for Christmas morning has quickly become one of the most anticipated holiday events in our house. This giant cinnamon roll has all of the delicious flavor of individual cinnamon rolls, but with a visual presentation that demands attention!
#2 Pomegranate Margarita
This sweet treat is a refreshing cocktail with seasonal flair. If you are celebrating the holidays in a warm place or you just prefer the refreshing taste of a margarita, you must try this pomegranate margarita. This is a delicious combination of pomegranate’s seasonal flavor with a traditional margarita’s tangy sweetness.
#3 Chocolate Mousse
This simple & rich chocolate mousse is easy to make yet always feels like a special dessert. If you need a no-bake idea or you are just looking for something different, you must try this mousse recipe. It is an easy make-ahead recipe that is perfect for holiday dinners with guests.
#4 Holiday Cookie Press Butter Cookies
These holiday butter cookies are a staple of our childhood Christmas season. This recipe yields small festive cookies with a rich buttery flavor and a hint of almond. Specifically written for use with a cookie press, this recipe allows you to experiment with a variety of designs fit for many occasions. We love them for Christmastime.
#5 Cinnamon Raisin Pinwheel
This sweet treat is a baked delight that we have enjoyed at the holidays for many years. We think it is best served sliced, warm, and with a spread of butter. Enjoy at breakfast or as a late afternoon snack! Perfect for hosting out-of-town guests throughout the season.
#6 Black Cherry Chocolate Martini
Nothing tops the smooth, creamy sweetness of a chocolate martini for special occasions. Add a hint of black cherry, and I am pretty sure you cannot help but smile while tasting one of these decadent delights. This makes it a perfect celebration with friends and family during the Christmas season.
#7 Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
These double chocolate Christmas cookies are easy to make and a new favorite in our homes. A spin on a traditional chocolate chip cookie, this recipe has more chocolate and seasonal flair! Add these to your cookie-making list for neighbors or just for your family. You won’t be disappointed.
#8 Pomegranate Martini
We love this smooth yet slightly tangy pomegranate martini for the holidays! The pomegranate brings an edgy flavor that, with lemon and elderflower, is a perfect blend of bitter-sweet. And it’s gorgeous visually, perfect for seasonal happy hours or special occasions.
#9 Finnish Bread
This is a delightfully rich and sweet Finnish-style bread, and it is a holiday staple from our childhood. Our mom would make this bread for friends, neighbors, and our teachers as Christmas gifts, and of course, she would always make some for us to enjoy over the holiday season. We always enjoyed warm with butter for breakfast.
#10 Gingerbread Cookies
These gingerbread cookies are the perfect holiday treat, and making them is a favorite tradition for our family. Add frosting, sprinkles, and/ or candy decorations. They are delicious just plain as well!
We hope you treat yourselves this holiday season with something sweet and something that you love.
XO,
