Christmas Baking Recipes

Christmas baking recipes on the site

There are lots of delicious Christmas baking recipes here that will delight one and all.

Even if everyone in your family loves something different, you are sure to find recipes for Christmas cookies, bars, squares and tarts that everyone will love.

If you entertain during the Christmas and New Year holiday season, you will probably want to make a variety of baked goods. A dessert table or platter with a mix of cookies, squares, tarts and cakes looks great on the table and offers guests a variety of wonderful and tasty options to choose from.

Many of these Christmas desserts can be made ahead and stored for a few days or even a week or more. Some can even be frozen without losing their texture.

Of course any of these recipes are quite delicious any time of year. The recipes I have gathered here on this page are those I thought are most welcomed during the holiday season.
