    How to Choose an Easy Christmas Dessert

    Choose your Christmas dessert based on how you plan to serve it and how much time you have. Fudge and candy are great for edible gifts, while cookies and bars work well for cookie trays and parties. Choose a no-bake or chilled dessert when oven space is limited, or make cupcakes, cakes, pies, and tarts when you want a more traditional holiday dessert. For something casual and easy to share, Christmas treats and sweet snack mixes are perfect for family gatherings, movie nights, and holiday snacking.
