Traditional Christmas pie
Essentially an English holiday custom, sweet mince pies are the typical affairs in the Christmas lunch.

From having evolved as a status symbol to the modern day must-have, they come in variations with customizations are per your tastes.
Cupcakes/Biscuits/Muffins
Tell us one individual who isn’t a fan of these articulately-baked sweet delights and we will be at a loss of words. From Santa Claus’ face to Santa hats to Christmas trees, you’ll find almost everything baked on them. Not to forget, this season they’re topped with green-red-white icing sugars to complete the look.
Cakes/Pastries
Danish pastries have been a thing. Christmas cakes trace their origin back to simple plum porridges, and how they were made using rum. The modern variants include cakes of all flavours- Butterscotch, red velvet, blueberry, cheesecakes, coffee walnut, hazelnut pralines, almond pistachios, oreo cookies n creme, raspberry lime, citrus, peanut butter and else.

And perhaps, what could be the best way of spending Christmas breaks in your pyjamas with a cup of hot chocolate or cappuccino, or a toffee latte or decaf and chill your way out?
