Talking about these Traditional Holiday Desserts, I am so excited about them. From the cute and colorful Christmas toffee barks to a holiday-themed cheesecake to a soft, buttery, and chewy Holiday-themed cookie. I am super excited about all of them.

When it comes to baking a traditional Christmas Dessert my mind goes towards my good old days when my Grandma used to make a Christmas Trifle. Man! that used to be so good. In my home, Christmas meant those trifles. They were like the ultimate dessert to end the Christmas meal.

Later on, my Mom used to bake Christmas cookies. She still is an expert at baking all kinds of cookies. But, what I have always loved is a shortbread cookie with a little royal icing. You can say that I have a bit of a sweet tooth. But, hey, that's me!
