Everyone has an essential holiday treat list. Even if you don’t know it, there’s one secretly hiding in your mind. Every year during the holidays we get crazy Christmas cravings and if these cravings aren’t holiday specific, why then don’t we crave gingerbread cookies shaped like Christmas trees in mid-July? Here is the essential holiday treat list.

Sugar Cookies

Sugar and cookies. Seriously we don’t even have to continue, but we will. Two of the world’s greatest’s pleasures come together as one to light up your taste buds. Easy to make, even easier to buy, you can’t have the holidays without sugar cookies.

Chocolate Covered Pretzels

To be perfectly fair these are wonderful year-round, but for some reason they seem even more delicious come the holiday season. Especially homemade and drizzled with red or green chocolate. If you don’t have time to bake we have pails of chocolate covered pretzels here.  

Gingerbread

And not just the cookies, but gingerbread anything! Gingerbread pudding, gingerbread houses, gingerbread cheesecake, gingerbread lattes. The quintessential holiday treat has transformed its way into new recipes and has managed to keep us giddy for years.
