Your favorite holiday/Christmas treat?

[maheennadeem814]

Hello there! I would like to know where you guys live and what is the most special dessert or treat you prefer to have this season because it is the holidays/Christmas and new year season and I am currently feeling pretty hungry. 😄

Italian rainbow cookies.

Chicken Bones are the tradition on my dad's side, specifically the Ganong brand ones. They're a cinnamon hard candy with a chocolate center.
On my mom's side it tends to be "assorted squares". Looks a bit like this.

My favorite is Pumpkin Roll Cake! I make it from scratch! I have to use Gluten Free Flour because I am allergic to Gluten Flour (Celiac Disease). I also make one that is sugar free for my sister. She is diabetic. It is delicious!

Hey Kendal! Gluten-free or sugar-free, It sounds so delicious. My mommy is a diabetic patient as well and I am used to having sweets that are unsweetened 😅  I never had Pumpkin roll cake in my life but now I am thinking to have it asap ❤️

This looks so familiar as we have kind of the same sweet in Pakistan and it reminds me of that. Thanks for sharing ☺️

Pfeffernusse! They're little sugar-glazed spice cookies.

We use an old-world recipe from my grandmother (All my grandparents are from Germany... I'm 2nd gen American, so try to hold onto a few foods and traditions.)

I first had it when my Italian relatives brought it from Italy!

We have a similar thing called Roman Nougat where I live. (But it has gumdrops instead of almonds)

I am from Venezuela. We make a dessert with green papaya in a spiced syrup. It's tasty, but it's not my cup of tea. It's called dulce de lechosa.

We were very influenced by the European immigrants in the XX century, so we incorporated panettone and nougat as a holiday desserts. They even import them during December. My favorite ones are panettone al cioccolato and the soft almond nougat. This is the almond nougat I had here, sadly this year is way too pricey for me to buy one... It doesn't help with the occasional pimples I get either 😅
