🎅 These are 15 of the best Christmas desserts from around the world

It’s December, meaning it’s time to pump your “holly jolly” into full gear and prepare for the holidays.

That includes decorating, shopping, wrapping, and yes, baking.

We may have traditional desserts passed down from generation to generation that we like to make for our family and friends, reflecting our cultures, ethnic backgrounds, and ancestors.

Baking during the holidays can bring families together. It's often a cherished family tradition tied to specific recipes, allowing them to laugh, cry, tell stories (some that are told every year, and some that nobody has heard before), reminisce, all while preparing treats.

The kitchen is filled with the wafting odors of dough, chocolate, breads, cookies, cakes, and love.

Why not share nostalgia and tradition this holiday season by not only preparing holiday recipes passed down through your family's generation, but getting creative and fun, and baking a Christmas dessert from another place around the world.

Here are 15 of some of the best traditional Christmas desserts from different countries, as well Australia, New Zealand, and even the Caribbean.
