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.
