The best Christmas sweets to try this season

Everybody has a favorite sugary treat and December is the perfect month to try them all--cookies, peppermint flavored chocolate, candy canes, seasonal Oreos, fudge brownies.

Candy canes are a classic treat for the Christmas holidays. Red and white is typically the traditional color scheme, but you can easily find candy canes in the colors of blue, pink, purple, and other various shades. Sweet and peppermint flavored – they are a must have for your Christmas tree (or to eat).

Christmas M&M Chocolate Cookies or Cookie Bars are another dessert to sample. Golden brown, decorated with red and green M&Ms along with chocolate chips, and a gooey texture, they'll sure be a hit among family and friends.

Peppermint Oreo Truffles can be made with a white chocolate or dark chocolate outer core, infused with delicious filling of your choice, and sprinkled with peppermint bark on top--perfect mix of chocolate and mint. Gingerbread cookies with colorful frosting, decorated with sprinkles or candy such as gum drops and cut into unique shapes with a cookie cutter are another classic treat.

Cookie and brownie cups are another delicacy that can be created into something festive. Frosting, candy bits like peppermint or M&Ms, and sprinkles are some holiday festive solutions. Other holiday dessert favorites can be easily found on Google or Pinterest.

If you are not interested in baking warm cookies or pies, you can easily purchase a jovial dessert at your local grocery store. Colorful sugar cookies, or Oreos with red and green fillings are two examples sold at the store.

Whether you want something as a simplistic as a peppermint Hershey's kiss, or an intricate three-layered cake, there's something sweet out for everyone during this holiday season.
