10 Christmas Dessert Recipes For A Sweet Holiday
In my opinion, Christmas is the best time of year. It is the time of year where the land of Starbucks is flowing with peppermint and gingerbread flavors. It is the time when mall Santas everywhere are making children cry. But the best part about Christmas would probably be the shameless eating of desserts. You can’t be ridiculed at the gym for eating too many cookies, during Christmas. You can’t loathe yourself for that extra shot of peppermint syrup at Starbucks. During Christmas, shame and loathing are so not in style. So enjoy these 10 Christmas dessert recipes for a sweet holiday, with haughty ignorance.

Instead of the traditional (and scary looking) Christmas fruitcake, you should try our spiced gingerbread loaf recipe. Here you will find the directions to make both the loaf and icing. Gingerbread men will be thanking you for your mercy this holiday season, as you choose to eat our loaf instead of their faces. And it also looks super impressive, making them a great hostess gift when you attend parties. This is one of the best Christmas dessert recipes.

So give yourself some rest for the holidays and make this Christmas dessert recipe for a sweet holiday.
