Home for the holidays?

For some of us the festive fun begins on Christmas Eve – for many, a lot earlier – and goes through to New Year’s Day.

Discover delicious desserts that you can easily create to feed your family and friends and prepare ahead sweet treats to make your holiday season a memorable one.

Some recipes are easy to make, others more elaborate and rewarding.

No Christmas meal would be complete without an indulgent dessert or two.

Create the naughty but nice Christmas Rocky Road Pudding or the divine Sugar Plum Fairy Cake. Christmas is not the time to count the calories.

Hot or cold, our festive dessert recipes will turn any meal into a feast and have everyone contentedly curled up on the sofa or napping in their favorite chair.

Do you want to rustle up a microwave pud in next to no time or impress family and friends with a homemade Yule log? If you do, then our 40 best Christmas cakes and puddings recipes are guaranteed to sweeten your season.
