The Best Christmas Treats For Everyone

Read more for all the details on The Best Christmas Treats For Everyone.

I’m all for planning my Christmas baking because the holidays get so overwhelming if I don’t! I’m finalizing my treat list shortly and will be starting to get ingredients next week.

I didn’t get many Christmas gifts this year for both my husband’s side and my family’s requests so I’ll be giving out a lot of handmade crafts as well as a platter of baked treats! I plan to do a drive around on the weekend before Christmas to drop everything off too!

Did you splurge on gifts this year?

    I usually don’t have much of a sweet tooth but at Christmas, I could really eat it all. I love macarons and anything dipped in chocolate. My tummy is rumbling reading this!

    I’ve jotted down the oatmeal recipe! It feels healthy because of the oats so will definitely be doing that one. They all sound and look soooo yummy!

  13. Serial Jet Setter says

    December 6, 2020 at

    Mince pies are my favourite Christmas treat. I’ve been holding off because I always eat way too many over the festive period. This post has convinced me that I’ve waited long enough!

  14. Tim McLaughlin says

    December 6, 2020 at

    I never knew what Linzer cookies were called, either! I’m glad to know now. One staple in my household is buckeyes, which were kind of a regional cookie where I grew up that I refused to give up when I moved away. They’re basically sweetened peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate and look just like the seeds of the buckeye tree.

  15. Cristina Rosano says

    December 7, 2020 at

    Shortbreads are my top choice all year round! Can’t wait to have some Christmassy ones x

    December 8, 2020 at

    omg those macarons are so cute!!! I’ve never made them – I’ve heard it’s quite the challenge, will have to give it a go one day. I would really love to decorate some cookies with my little sister this year.
    Have a lovely Christmas!!
