Everywhere we go now we are surrounded by the delights of Christmas- the snow, the sparkling lights, the lovely smell of the pine trees, the Christmas carols….and it always gets me thinking about the yummy Christmas desserts I can look forward to… the buttery, spicy scents of the kitchen can mean only one thing – Christmas is here.

Here are a few I think look delicious and I cant wait to try them out for myself!!! What are your favourite Christmas sweet treats?
