Holiday desserts are some of the best and most fun desserts to bake/make. If you need some inspiration for whichever holiday season is coming up, take a look at these festive dessert ideas!

There are so many bite-sized desserts that I love to indulge in, according to the time of year. Champagne Strawberries, for example, are my favorite treat to make for Valentine’s Day! I also love this Strawberry Pretzel Dessert, which is perfect for both Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.

And let’s not forget about Christmas! These Salted Caramel Thumbprint Cookies and this Fruit Christmas Tree are easy desserts for holiday celebrating.

I would totally be cheating you if I didn’t tell you about this Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. It’s so festive it will work for any holiday!

I hope you have so much fun exploring these festive dessert ideas!
