A collection of our favorite Christmas Desserts for advent season. Including cookies, chocolate, candies, cakes, festive drinks, and more!
Advent Traditions
The Christmas season seems to demand sweets and treats aplenty. I have to admit, I don’t mind. In fact a lot of our family traditions and things we look forward to during advent year after year include certain recipes here.
The Sugar Cookie recipe is one that my grandmother used to make, my mother would make for me as a child, and now I make them with my children. There’s so many recipes that involve those cookies.
Homemade Peppermint Patties have become a staple in my home and in my parents home since that recipe was first published in 2016.
And the eggnog.. it’s just not advent season without it!
I hope you find some recipes that you can add into your family traditions here ♡
