Decadent December Sweet Treats To Serve At Your Big Christmas Party
Traditionally, Catholics and Christians in India would hand out home-made sweet treats during the Christmas season. Age-old recipes would be used to make these delicacies, and the treats would be distributed amongst friends and family. Unfortunately, we can’t get our hands on those recipes, since many of them are family secrets but we do have the next best thing – sweet treats from homegrown brands and chefs.
These tasty delights will add a sweet touch to any occasion. So, let’s get started with our list of sweet treats to serve up at your annual Christmas party.
