Technically, I bake before the holidays. It has become a tradition, I make a variety of European tea/butter cookies for family and friends and send them off in cookie tins. Usually 4-6 different types each year, the more popular ones are a repeat every year.
Christmas puddings are fantastic and lots of fun because, traditionally, you light them on fire. In my family they were never aged though because they were steamed puddings.
This is a synthesis of several recipes that Iโve modified over the years. I usually make a cake for the holidays. Growing up my mother made what she called a Dundee Cake, a round fruit cake withโฆ
the last couple years I made my great grandmaโs sugar cookies. Donโt really have enough counter space for it this year tho ๐ but Iโm making some rosemary and thyme bread for Yule/winter solstice! (a couple days late but hey at least Iโm doing it)
Riffing off @evan 's poll, just what did you all #bake for the #holidays? Preferably with some background info, because I guess a lot of holiday baking has regional roots.

•I am a strong yes. I make dozens of cookies for our friends and neighbours. I make fruitcakes and age them in bourbon for months.
I'm intrigued by the Christmas pudding. I might try making one in January and letting it age all year.
