Christmas may be over, but it’s still the holiday season. And you know what the holiday season means? Parties, commitments, busy nights, and hectic days. Things get crazy around the holidays—and the holidays don’t end until after New Year’s!—and for me, it’s often a lot easier to just go to a restaurant or order takeout. However, I would never do that for desserts! These 16 Restaurant Style Desserts for Christmas are my go-to recipes for when I want something sweet during the holidays but I’m trying to save money after buying so many Christmas gifts. From copycat recipes for classic Starbucks holiday recipes to homemade versions of your favorite Christmas treats, these recipes always put a smile on my face.
Many of these recipes would also make great edible gifts. I don’t know about you, but this time of year, it seems like every couple of days, some friend or family member stops by, and I’ve forgotten to get them a gift. For this very reason, I usually make some kind of edible gifts to just keep around in case this happens. It’s saved me on more than one occasion! But to be honest, I think that once you taste one of these homemade desserts, you won’t want to share them.
