Hey, theres even aGingerbread House!
Panettone
You neednt live in Italy or near a big-city Little Italy to enjoy a true-to-form Panettone.
Who knows, it just might be a nice little gift to make for friends, too?

Stollen
This German fruit bread gets better after a week or so.
Seriously, it does.
The flavors disperse throughout the loaf and may be my favorite holiday baking recipe.
Sally Vargas
Except for my Moms Apple Pie (just in case shes reading this).
Its shaped and then baked straight onto a baking sheet.
And make your owncold brew coffeeto have with your Stollen for breakfast or even after dinner.

Eggnog French Toast
A perfect morning-after-the-day-of treat for you and any stray overnight holiday guests.
Either way, its a quick and fulfilling start to clearing your fridge of the holiday excess.
Its quite easy and quick to prepare and bake.
Irvin Lin
It will last at least one week, and up to one month.
It creates a tradition the family will plan on year after year.
There is no wrong way to decorate a gingerbread house.
Elise Bauer
Its a moment to play, so make it as richly colored as you like.
Dried cranberries, yup.
That last bit of eggnog in the carton, gotcha.
Irvin Lin
Why not turn about 30 minutes of preparation into several days of mid-morning snack enjoyment?
If you prefer, swap the chocolate for a favorite jam or add chopped nuts to the filling.
Make this once, and babka will be a regular in your holiday backing rotation.
Elise Bauer
Couple a bun with a mug ofHomemade Chaifor breakfast or a short break in the afternoon.
If youre from the Midwest, you get it.
The brown sugar and cinnamon in the rolls complement the chili.
Claudia Cash
Applesauce Spice Cake
Need another quick-to-prepare dessert?
Of course, you do!
Truly, a sitting-by-the-fire recipe.
Elise Bauer
Its a tiny bit sticky, slightly sweet, and all kinds of flavorful.
