    10 Easy Dessert Recipes for the Holidays

    by Allison · Published: Dec 10, 2024 · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    What better time of the year to make fresh, homemade desserts than over the holidays? These incredibly easy dessert recipes are simple enough to make any day of the year, but oh-so-shareable with friends and loved ones gathered around.

    I spend so much of the year crafting everyday wholesome recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner that sometimes even I forget to slow down and enjoy a sweet treat here and there. So, I curated this simple little dessert guide to remind myself to make an extra goodie or two over the holidays. 😉 Feel free to make these anytime of the year though; they are all super, super easy to make!

    If you're looking for more easy recipes to make over the holidays, try this easy guacamole, this lox bagel or these scrambled eggs. (They're all top sellers over here.) And if you'd like to plan ahead a little, check out these cozy January recipes next.
