Sharing the 16 Christmas treats on our holiday baking list this year.

Christmas wouldn’t be nearly as sweet without a few special holiday treats to enjoy (and share) through the season!
With a whole week off BEFORE Christmas, we’re going to have all sorts of time for our holiday baking this year. The other day, Carson and I sat down to make a list of all of the recipes we wanted to bake up this year – whipped shortbread and butter tarts are always an absolute must (we have them every year), our new favourite Eggnog Cinnamon Buns, some cookies Carson can decorate with icing and sprinkles and, even though Carson and I aren’t really the biggest chocolate fans, we both thought we should probably make some sort of chocolate treat for Brady.
We scoured the internet for all of the best Christmas treat recipes and our list was pretty BIG when we started our search (there are SO many delicious recipes out there and we might have been a tad hungry as we worked on this together before dinner – ha!), but in the end, we managed to whittle it down to just 16 Christmas treats we decided we have to try this year. I thought I’d share them with you just in case you’re looking for some new Christmas baking inspiration this holiday season too!

This Cinnamon Sugar Bread is always a huge hit in our house and would make such a lovely gift for friends and neighbours.
