Christmas holiday desserts are always a fun and festive way to kick off the holiday season. Today, we’re making Christmas wreath cake donuts for the guests who join us for our Deck the Halls Christmas Party! Each year we decorate the house and while we do so we like to listen to Christmas music to get us in the mood. What better way to get in the holiday spirit than with fun decorative desserts, Christmas decorations and holiday music?!
I certainly need a mood-boost this year, too – I feel like a scrooge! Although we usually have snow in the beginning of November, we haven’t had any yet this year – and at this point I’m hoping we don’t get snow until Christmas. Perhaps I’m getting old, but I’m just not ready for it this year. Maybe these Christmas wreath donuts will help me get in the holiday spirit!
