This December marks the sixth year I’ve been doing Bake and Destroy, and therefore, the sixth annual holiday gift guide and giveaway! I’ve added some new categories this time around, and just like last year, I’ve asked some of my friends to chime in with their top gift picks. For even more gift ideas, check out gift guides of years past -and pay attention throughout the picks to see the great stuff we’re giving away. Rules for entering the giveaway are at the end of the post!
For the Lady Bro
Turns out, I am awful at being a girl! I chew my nails, wear my hair in a clippy thing every day, and my idea of dressing up is wearing the Cannibal Corpse shirt that has the fewest number of bleach stains on it. Luckily, my friend Jessica has this lady stuff down to a science, so here are her picks for gifts for a lady-like lady dude. Follow Jessica on Twitter at @drtyhousewife.
Black Milk Leggings – Leggings, hate ’em or love ’em you know someone who wears ’em. If you wanna wow a legging lover this holiday season there is no other option. They may seem pricey up front but you are getting a high quality/non-sheer/completely incredible image plastered across your bootie (can you put a price on that?) Seriously, you wont get six feet without someone demanding to know where you got those pants! Keep in mind, they are based out of Australia so plan ahead!
If Instagram has anything to say, nail art is the most important form of self expression in 2012. There are countless websites devoted to all of the amazing shit that can be done with a few bottles of polish and a set of teeny tiny brushes. My fave is Nail Nerd shes incredible! If you know someone that is just dying to paint hamburgers on their nails than listen up! They will need…
- A brush set – I’m sure you can find them just about anywhere but my go-to is from M.A.S.H and its under $10. It comes with a ton brushes (seriously I don’t even know what to do with half of them).
- A killer top coat – Seche Vite. It smells like airplane fuel but it dries your nails in like, 30 seconds and leaves that shit shiny and un-chipped for a good week! I bring this with me when I get my nails done because there is no other top coat, end of story. You can find this stuff at Sallys or Ulta.
- Nail polish – everyone has a fave but if you don’t know where to start and want to wow someone with your new found knowledge of nail lacquer here are my top two faves! (Both of these are 3-free (good for the environment), vegan and can be found at Ulta!)
- Butter London – The colors are to die for and the nail polish removers smell incredible and leave your nails and cuticles silky smooth
- Zoya – A million colors to chose from and amazing coverage.
Lingerie is ALWAYS fun to give (& get!) Every lady (admit it or not) likes to feel sexy, regardless of how they define it. If you are looking to give someone special something special than Purrfect Pineapples is your answer! These handmade, all-vegan, frilly frocks are the bees knees. Can your lady get any sexier? Probably not, but giving her a corset covered in donuts sure isn’t gonna hurt any!
I had perfect skin through high school which I thought made me the luckiest girl on earth. What I didn’t realize was that it meant trading in perfect skin as an adult. Major buzzkill. If you know someone who is always trying to keep their mugs in tip-top condition, the answer is face brushin’ You heard me, face brushin. I have a middle of the road face brush and I like it just fine but I did promise myself the upgrade once mine kicks it. So this list includes a link to the big boy, The Clarsonic.
As an added face brushin’ stocking stuffer try any Argan Oil infused products. Trust me your skin will thank you!
SHOOOOOOOOES – Who doesn’t love em? I’m an over the top shoe lover, myself. The crazier they look and the less I have to wear with them the more I lust for them. If you know someone like that than Jeffery Campbell is your answer! You can’t buy them directly off of the JC website but you can find them at most high-end retail shops and online at Sole Struck. Bonus points for purchasing the Black Milk/JC collaboration shoes! My favs are the Lita’s, aside from looking amazing they are comfy to boot! (See what I did there?)
WIN IT: Yo girl, your nails are looking delicious! Well, they will be anyway, when you win this set of Dollar Slice nail decals from Rad Nails! And how’d your hair get so sassy? Must be that Sugar Skill Hair Clip/Pin from HellRazor! Shoot, you can win that too – check out the end of the post for details!
SAVE IT & WIN IT: I may not be the fanciest of ladies, but even I can appreciate a kooky hat when I see one. That’s why I’m pleased to give away on of Chef Bizzaro‘s gorgeous Cupcake Hats and a set of adorable hair bows to one of my readers! Plus, you can save 15% on your order from now until 12/18 when you enter BAKEANDDESTROY at checkout!
For the Book Nerd
These choice gifts for the bibliophile in your life come from Judy McGuire. Judy isn’t just Seattle Weekly’s Dategirl, she’s also the author of The Official Book of Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n Roll Lists, so she knows a thing or two about cool cats who dig books. Check out Judy’s picks:
Being an avid, but extremely particular, reader, I tend to not give books for Christmas. (Unless it’s a copy of my latest book, The Official Book of Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll Lists.) (Ahem.) Even if I know the recipient extremely well, literary tastes can be so capricious and so personal and I know I’d rather pick out my own reading material, so I assume others would as well. But that doesn’t mean you can’t cater to the readers on your list in other ways. . . .
Wrap their Kindle with Care – Are there still bookish types resisting the e-reader? Perhaps, but anyone who reads a lot has probably invested in one by now. So a cover is the perfect gift, as long as you get a little creative. Sci-fi dork on your list? This Star Wars cover will thrill. Poe fan? This blue leather cover with an embossed raven is spookariffic. And if you want to make sure they never forget you, personalize a cover with your smiling mug.
No more late fees! – There’s nothing more irritating than loaning out a beloved book only to have it disappear into the ether. The New York Public Library’s Your Home Library Kit will keep that from ever happening again. And if someone does defy your system and run off with your first edition of The Black Dahlia, a monogrammed library stamp will help remind them that they’re a thief every time they open the book. If the Kit is too much, this cute “Books to Check Out” notebook will help your reader keep track of who’s borrowed what, the lo-fi way.
Speaking of first editions. . . . The advent of the e-reader has made reading more convenient, but for book purists, a first edition of their favorite tome is always a welcome surprise. ABE has a huge collection of firsts, but be warned, they’re not for the faint of wallet.
Heal their papercuts – With all that razor-sharp paper around, reading can be a dangerous activity. So give the gift of healing with these super-cute Jane Austen bandages.
Comfort station – While this may be one of the ten ugliest things on the planet, Brookstone’s Massaging Bed Rest pillow thingy allows its owner to read in bed comfortably, with a vibrating backrest, adjustable LED light, cup holder, pocket for all your reading material, and an AC adaptor! Perfect for the design-challenged reader on your list. In fact, I think my dad will be getting this bad boy.
WIN IT: You’ve read the list, now read the book. Win a copy of Judy’s book, The Official Book of Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n Roll Lists! Make that book a gift when you win a set of holiday cards from CakeSpy!
For the True Metal Warrior
This list comes to you from yours truly because some blogs play, Bake and Destroy kills.
Baphomet shorts – I almost died when I saw these short-shorts from JSSXIII, but I didn’t. Instead, I ordered them, waited a couple of days, and then when I got them in the mail, I put them on and posted a picture of my own ass on Instagram. What kind of person would deny a friend a similar experience this holiday?
Actual Pain everything – I’m generally anti-legging. I don’t like my crotch being just like, out there for the world to see. But all of that changes when I put on my Sixth Seal leggings. In my Satan pants I can do no wrong, and neither can my crotch.
Slayer dress – It does my heart so much good to know that there are other women on this planet who love Slayer and Peter Pan collars equally.
Black Metal cologne oil – I bought this for myself because of reasons, and it’s become my everyday scent. Previous to owning this spicy cologne my every day scent was failed deodorant, which was metal in its own way.
All the Toxic Vision things – Toxic Vision creations aren’t cheap, nor are they vegan-friendly but they are very, very metal. I became an instant fan when I spotted a studded leather Mayhem vest on the Interwebs, and I have stayed a fan because Toxic Vision creator/model Sharon Ehman’s ass is seriously unbelievable.
For the Cool Mom
Something amazing happened this year – one of my best friends became a mom! Lisa and I bonded over our love of weird and somewhat useless things, so I thought she’d be the perfect person to curate a gift guide for cool moms. Heeeeere’s Lisa!
Whether you’re a stay at home mom or a working mom, you are a busy mom and so you don’t always have the time for yourself. I love getting a Birchbox every month. Inside there are samples of skin care products, hair products, cosmetics, plus tips and tricks. If you’re allowed that five-minute “me time” a new shade of nail polish can make you feel great (and forget about the pureed carrots in your hair). Along the same lines, Blumm sends out samples for the ‘lil monster (mostly newborn to one year). Maybe a rattle, baby lotion, food, or sometimes a treat or two for mom. These gifts are great because they keep on giving….until your subscription ends, that is.
Looking for a mama necklace that doesn’t scream, “MOM”? These necklaces from Blue Dove Studio are so sweet – with no lame pastel booties in sight. I have one with our three initials on it, just a little reminder of the love that made our little monster. Birds not your thing? Here is another great option for moms who keep it simple and sweet! (She does this in silver too! Just ask!)
Changing diapers is a crappy job, so why not make it somewhat pleasurable? This wipe holder from Sweet Monkey Tots is so darn cute! I chose fabric that matches my little guy’s bedding, and I love that his name is on it. With lots of fabrics, fonts and embellishments to choose from, you can really customize your holder! After the poopy part of motherhood is over, this box could become a great container for crayons or other treasures.
We no longer live in a time of The Waltons when families live together under one roof (or even in the same state). I live far from my family in New York, so I’ve given Goodnight Chicago to all the kids so they can remember their FAVORITE aunt at bedtime. When I, in return, received Goodnight New York I was thrilled! There’s a version for almost every city, and there’s even a Goodnight America. (Or if you want to be super festive…I just saw there was a Good Night Baby Jesus!)
As I stated before, I love personalized things. My son has a unique name, so I’ll never find it on anything in stores, so I jump on anything I can stamp his name on. I get lots of personalized items for Mr. Smalls at Psychobaby, a fun store in Chicago. Check out Santa’s Little Helper and this Tattoo One-Piece.
SAVE IT: Cupcake Provocateur is the preferred apron brand of cool moms everywhere. Check out their new Harlow Aprons and save 10% on your purchase when you enter BAKECP10 at checkout!
For the Gamer
I asked my friend Matt to cultivate this brand-new gift category this year because, well… you’ll see. I think the last video game I took seriously was Kid Icarus so I certainly appreciate his help. I didn’t add links to buy these games because you can kind them all on Amazon. If you’re a fan of this list, you should stop by Matt’s shop KILLTAKER and buy yourself a little something.
If you’re like me, you enjoy the holiday season for the gut-busting dinners alongside the people that you love. Also, if you’re like me, you want to leave the exact second the food is gone because you’re reminded through the actions of the people that you love why you moved away in the first place. Following my yearly covert exodus from Grandma’s house, the place I run screaming from friends and family is into the warm, loving embrace of video games. Here are five that have me excited this holiday season:
WWE ’13 – Another year, another WWE game. This time around, the focus is on yesteryear, as the icons of the “Attitude Era” rear their ugly heads for a brief, but exciting run of nostalgia based role playing. Relive several moments that have resulted in real-life people being real life crippled! Also, some guy named CM Punk is on the cover. If anyone has an idea who he is, please let me know.

For the Vegan
Gift Sets by Hip Apotheca – High-end beauty and grooming products that are 100% vegan-approved. Spend a little on a set of tinted lip balms, or spend a little more on a skin-brightening serum. Lovely!

SAVE IT & WIN IT: Check out the end of this post to find out how you can win a SkinnySkinny Organic Mini Organic Dry Shampoo in Black Pepper & Rose, Adara Coconut Oil in Heavenly Peach, One Love Organics Brand New Day, discovery size; IFE Body Oil, travel size; Crazy Rumors lip balm in Gingerbread, and a John Masters Organics Amenity Travel Kit from Hip Apotheca! Plus, save 20% on your order from now until 12/20 when you enter DESTROY at check out!SAVE IT & WIN IT: If someone on your list would like my book this holiday, then they’d love this Bake and Destroy prize pack from Lucky Cupcake Hairclips!

Need more gift tags? Save 20% now through 3/31 when you enter BDGVWY at check out!
For the Comic Book Gal
Being a comic book gal, people are always asking me, “Hey- I know a guy or a girl that’s interested in comics! You’re a comics gal! What can I give them at gift-giving time of the year?”
Well, I’m all for letting your interest in comics being proudly displayed. But, I’m also a firm believer in giving a homemade gift! But, if you can’t hand make something, there’s a good chance that some crafty person on Etsy can do it for you! I do lots of shopping there because I love unique things and I like to support other artistic people!
So, check out the big ol’ list that I’ve compiled of many wonderful objects that I personally love. Some are costly, some are not. Some are “buy it nows” and some might inspire you to create something yourself!
UNISEX PRESENTS
Use old comic book tee shirts to make tote bags, a bedspread, or a sweet scarf! You can find all sorts of comic book t-shirts online, in comic book shops, and in the thrift stores! Use this helpful blog post as reference!
Like to read comics on their e-reader? Design your own ipad, nook, kindle, e-reader cover! Upload some of their favorite comic artwork, or comic cover to create this cool protector!
X Men X symbol belt buckle. Of course we all wanted to attend Xavier’s School for Gifted Children! I’d wear this belt buckle every day!
Tara McPherson pillows – Everyone loves the art of Tara McPherson! So your beds or couches need a pillow with one of her stylish images on them!
FOR THE STYLISH COMIC BOOK GAL
I love wearing a striking piece of cool clothing that your mundanes or muggles might not normally wear. One great comic book piece can be incorporated into even the most office cubical type environment!
Awesome custom comic, game and movie inspired skirts and aprons! So cool! I love the Robin, Harley Quinn, R2D2 aprons and the comic print full skirt! The apron would be for home, naturally! These skirts would look great with tights and flats and a fuzzy cardigan!
How about Custom Comic book high heels or flats or Hell on Heels custom comic book high heel shoes? What about a Kryptonite crystal ring or a sweet fitted batman hoodie WITH bat ears? Wear it with jeans and boots or a black pencil skirt and pointy toed flats! That’s how I’d do it!
Bag it up with this goes-with-everything Tokidoki Comic print tote or this recycled comic tote! Carry your comics home from the comic shop!
Finally, these cool Antler Barrettes by Miss Monster remind me of Sweet Tooth by Jeff Lemire! (That’s a comic- read it!)
WIN IT: Give the artsy gal in your life your choice of print from Betty Turbo (oh, and she also happens to be illustrating my cookbook, what do you know?) Wrap it up with a bow – a knitted hair bow on a headband from The Lulu Bean! See below for entry rules!

I kinda love all holiday foods, but I guess I’d have to say my favorite holiday treat is fudge, which I make and mail to family members every year. For a savory food, probably my family’s stuffing recipe, which has been handed down since at least my grandma’s generation, and veganized by me. Gotta love holiday food! And prizes! 🙂
My favorite holiday treat is a pumpkin roll.
My favorite meal has to be the feast of 7 fishes every year. i had to use meal because there is too many to pick just one XD
Being from the midwest I would have to say scalloped corn is the greatest holiday food. Corn, Creamed corn mixed together and topped with crushed up crackers, there is nothing wrong with any of that.
link for twitter: https://twitter.com/SJForese/status/272187614491201536
I think my favorite holiday food is sweet potato pie or I make a frigging awesome cheesecake!
Favorite holiday food? Tofurky!
Awesome gift guide! I especially appreciate the list for the Gamer, as my Gamer went out last night and bought himself all the games on his wishlist. Self restraint is not his strong suit, clearly.
Favorite holiday food: This killer vegan casserole an in-law makes for me for the Christmas Eve Dinner of Many Meats I am otherwise subjected to. Wild rice, Field Roast sage faux sausage, and about twenty other things that make me feel, for one night a year, like I’m not the asshole with the ridiculous diet.
My favorite holiday food used to be pumpkin pie, but now for health reasons I have had to change my diet. So these days to reduce my sugar intake I will have a sugar free or sugar substitute dessert. I will often have the pie though if my levels have been on track or will take an additional shot..because I really do love pumpkin pie, brownies made with pumpkin (under 200 calories!), or toasted pumpkin seeds.
my favorite holiday food is yummy pumpkin bread i just made some tonight!
favorite holiday food is pizza from new york or new jersey. i know this is also an everyday food, but who says i can’t have my favorite food on holidays as well? and pretty much any dessert ever.
My favorite holiday foods are my grandmothers recipes … homemade stuffing & fried cauliflower or my moms lasagna that she makes for christmas
Great as usual, loved seeing Black Milk in here as I am currently obsessed with them
They’re having a 50% off sale for Cyber Monday too, so a great time to make a purchase
Im in silly UK so cant enter the giveaway but wishing everyone the best of luck
and I’m a still tell you my favourite holiday food is pigs in blankets, I only ever have them at Xmas to make them just that bit more special 😉
…also I get a TON of chocolate from my Grandma so thats yum!
My favorite holiday food would have to be pie. Any kind! 🙂 Or sweet potatoes. yep those are a close second lol
My favorite holiday food is the cranberry sauce my dad and I make. We tweak the recipe every year- made a batch with chili powder and another with ginger this year and both were great!
I just wanted to say I recently became a vegetarian and this website has been a great help, and as a comic book fan/ rasslin’ nerd this gift guide is awesome 🙂

My favorite holiday food would have to be the tofurky/turkey-less roasts. It’s not something I can find conveniently year round aside from the slices. However, I’m thinking next year this will change with the addition of Green Bean Casserole Pizza from your book coming out!!

All of this stuff is amazing!!! Such a great idea!!! 😀
Boozy Egg Nog…liquid food, does that count?
I’m a southerner, so it’s pecan pie all the way!
I love pumpkin pie. I have a huge sweet tooth hehe.
Definitely pie!
Frosted sugar cookies – veganized old family recipe.
my aunt makes this cookies and cream freezer pie thingie. it’s an oreo pie crust with cool whip, vanilla pudding, and crushed up oreos. then she freezes it. SO BAD BUT SO GOOD.
I tweeted, too! @girldust http://twitter.com/girldust/status/272479566080118784
My favorite holiday food is Candy Cane Joe Joe’s!
Honestly, as bad as it is, my favorite holiday food (other than all the cookies I bake) would have to be ham. And that ham can be eaten with said cookies. Nothing like a little sweet and savory all together in one scrumptious bite! MmmmmMmmmMMM. I want some now.
My favourite holiday food is the prawn and citrus salad my fiancé makes. It’s so hot here at that time of year and its just the perfect dish. It’s only ever made during the holidays and makes me look forward to it year round.
Ham and cheese sandwiches. Kaiser rolls, thick cut ham, Swiss cheese, a poppyseed, horseradish, brown mustard, onion, and butter spread. Toasted in the oven for 45 minutes. Perfection.
Cookies!
Hey Natalie, wanted to let you know your Highspots and ROHWrestling links are broken. You’d need to add HTTP before them or wordpress thinks you’re looking to link to something on your own site. 😉
I really love, during the holidays, brown butter pumpkin cupcakes with salted caramel frosting. Topped with fresh, homemade salted caramel. So goooood
Hmmm…I get excited when Silk Nog comes back to Target. Silk Nog Bread galore!! Thanks for the giveaway(s)!
Day-after-Thanksgiving-pumpkin-pie!
my favorite holiday food is my gramma’s fruitcake…which in no way resembles actual fruitcake, so it’s actually delicious! (and it’s been soaked in rum 🙂
As an Italian I always look forward to my nona’s tiramisu and her canollis always good holiday comfort food!!! Love your Blog Nattalie…keep rockin’!!!!
I tweeted too https://twitter.com/puppetmuppet/status/272838413764407297
My favorite holiday food kinda has a backstory! Two years ago I visited Finland with my family because my grandma wanted us to meet our other family members who still live there before she would get too ill to travel. So we went and stayed with some family up in central Finland for a day and my grandma’s cousin made this AMAZING salmon soup. And you have to imagine how fresh this fish was too! It’s basically heavy cream, potatoes, carrots, salmon, salt, and pepper! Not the healthiest, but it’s now a big part of our Christmas dinner. It’s seriously amazing! 🙂
https://twitter.com/Just1Life_TS shared on twitter 🙂
My favorite holiday food is sweet potato pie. This sounds really bad but I bake two one that is my pre dinner pie and another that is used for dessert after dinner. The pre dinner pie is all mine. The second pie is shared with everyone else.
I seriously love the holiday season — it’s my favorite time of year!
When it comes to Holiday food, I do have to say that I love my grandma’s Italian lasagna and cheesecake. Oh man, I’m counting down the days to devour that down! haha.
Awesome gift guide by the way! Gets better every year 🙂
My favorite holiday food is egg nog, does that count as food? Haha. Pumpkin pie is a close second!

My favorite holiday treat is my step moms banana bread. She makes the absolute best banana bread and she only makes it at Christmas. Thankfully, she sends me home with two loaves I can freeze and enjoy on my own.
My favorite holiday food is … Chocolate Pie. It is the only time I make or eat said pie, Just for the holidays 🙂
Amazing guide BTW 🙂

My favorite holiday food is gingerbread cookies. Nothing gets me more into the holiday spirit then biting a cookie’s head off 🙂
My fave holiday food would be a heaping pile of mashed potatoes and gravy… Om nom nom!
My favorite holiday food is my mother’s homemade fudge. It is more special nowadays because she doesn’t make it as often as she used to because of work requirements, but even if she doesn’t have the time I can just imagine the amazing smell of it being prepared and it brings back wonderful memories.
My favorite holiday food is making my grandmas peanut butter fudge and giving it as gifts. Also potato candy
My favorite holiday food is pie, that I bake. it’s the only time I remember to bake pies, and i love doing it.

Thanks so much!
I’m donating a prize (Punk/Savage poster), so remove me from any possible gift receiving, but I just wanted to comment anyway because my mom used to make me these crazy things that included peanut butter, cocoa puffs, and a baking sheet. I’ve no clue what she called them, but holy moly, were they ever fantastic. I’m sure they were super healthy too!
My favorite holiday foods are pumpkin pie & egg nog!

My favorite holiday food is sausage balls! Definitely amazing 🙂
My grandma makes an apple pecan pie that I dream about all year. She made it for me on my 21st birthday (9 years ago) since it was a special occasion, but only makes it at Christmastime on the regular. It’s sweet, nutty, warm goodness, that starts in my mouth and ends in my soul.

My favorite holiday food is my grandmother’s stuffing. It has just the right combination of sage, cornbread, white bread, and chicken. My cousins and I fight over who gets the last serving! It is truly the taste of Christmas for our family.

My numero uno fav has to be snow ice cream. It’s incredibly white trash, because you just scoop up some freshly fallen snow, mix in a bit of milk, vanilla and sugar and rock the steadily melting, probably speckled with critter crud ice cream until your face hurts.
I always liked it with blueberry pancake syrup, myself.
Thanks for the guide; I see a necklace and some other goodies coming for my dear baby mama (I married mine). Super cool stuff.

My favorite Holiday food is Pecan Pie. It has to be warm and gooey when eaten. Even when I sneak a piece for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving.
My mom always made the best hot chocolate from scratch. We were dirt poor and on welfare-part of our monthly allowance included this awful powdered milk. My mom made it awesome by turning it into this magical elixir.
I’m a foodie, so it’s hard to pick a favorite, but I do absolutely love chocolate pecan pie this time of the year! Pumpkin pie is a VERY close second!

Thanks!!
The crushed candycane and chocolate over saltine bark the awesome Mrs. Z makes.
All of the pies! I never get tired of homemade pies.
Homemade Cranberry sauce. Omgz I swear I sweat cranberries for weeks from all of it that I consume. Nom
(Vegan) Doughnuts!
Doughnuts are a festive little treat all year round.
During the holidays, I enjoy the coconut doughnut from NYC’s Dun-Well Doughnuts. Coconut? Yes, I’m from the Caribbean and that’s how we do holidays!
Red. Velvet. Cupcakes.
I loooooove whoopie pies and my family all freak out over them. I plan on making chocolate and peanut butter this year!

I love eggnog. I was vegan at one point and was horribly disgusted by soy nog.
Give me the real stuff.
I love pumpkin pie. As you can tell, I need to try more holiday foods.

I’m a food lover and it’s kinda hard to pick one dish, but one of my favorite is stuffed peppers, or as I know them chiles rellenos! And the plus is that I can eat them in every holiday and I just have to decorate them differently.
And I also love carrot cake, with icing sugar

I know it’s nothing special, but CREAMED CORN is something I make every year for Thanksgiving, so it’s special to me.
I would have to say Pumpkin Pie and Peppermint Pie are my favorite. I made the banana bread french toast cupcakes for Thanksgiving morning and it was a hit so I’ll be making those for Christmas morning too. =)

Swedish Cardamon Cinnamon Rolls! My mom makes them every year for friends and relatives. I now make them for my annual Little Women holiday brunch! So festive and delish!
As a Jew, I always look forward to the latkes. My husband isn’t Jewish but learned how to make awesome latkes just to please me at Hanukkahtime. That’s love, y’all.
My favorite holiday food is a tie between pepita stuffing and broccoli casserole. Both so hearty and satisfying.
Homemade toffee! oh and bavarian spriced nuts!
Broccoli casserole! Its the only time of year I’ll eat anything with Velveeta in it.
Favorite holiday food has gotta be gingerbread cookies. I’m from New England, so my favorites have always been the ones from Santa’s Village in New Hampshire. I love the bite of the ginger in a warm, soft cookie COVERED in icing. The best!
I also tweeted, because I find this incredibly awesome.

Alright, get ready to kick my teeth in! My favorite holiday food is Ambrosia!! I know, I know, but I love every fruity, creamy, marshmellowy second of it.
I retweeted, shared the link and posted on my Facebook..
My favorite is chocolate pie because it reminds me of my late grandma, my Nonnie. When I have a slice, its like she is right there with me.
I can’t enter the giveaway but I wanted to state how awesome this post is. I ‘ve loved reading through it…
My favorite Christmas food is my Grandma’s Christmas cookies. I love helping her frost and decorate them.
It’s a toss up between stuffing & pumpkin bread. Stuffing because my family usually has more than one kind – a standard stuffing and then someone spreads their culinary wings and makes something fancy like cornbread or apple cranberry stuffing. Pumpkin bread because, well… it’s freaking amazing….
Egg nog!
My favorite holiday food would have to be white chocolate covered pretzels coated in candy cane pcs! YUMMERS.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Miss-Kittys-Kitchen/160659634075753?ref=hl<–shared on my Miss Kitty's Kitchen page! Thank you.
Pozole and tamales never gets old for me… 😀
lemon meringue pie!
Not specifically a holiday recipe, but a friend passed along a recipe for a vegan potato salad. I guess you would call it that…you roast potatoes and green beans in this amazing mustard sauce…oh drool… The best part is, I made it as a side for thanksgiving, and my 2 year old daughter loved it too!!! Since she’s the most honest critic, I trust her opinion the most!

My mom makes really great baked macaroni and cheese – it’s my favorite!
Pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce have always been my favorite and I’ve never eaten a recipe of the two that I didn’t like.
My favorite holiday food are cookies! Sugar, gingerbread, and many more! They can double as festive decorations. And there’s something about how none are exactly the same which makes them all the more fun to eat around the holidays. Everyone has their go to holiday cookie recipie and I sure love them all!
Hands down my favorite food this season : Chai tea cupcakes.
They are like the holiday spirit in your mouth.
Following in my family tradition I like to make/eat Struffoli, I also like to make Cannoli during the holidays.
My favorite is caramel apple cheesecake. It is best when I can use apples that come from my trees.
https://mobile.twitter.com/Darshiva76/status/273999766529130496
Christmas cookies! I also make my friend Amy’s Mom’s chocolate caramels. It’s better when she makes them for me. Caramel burns. Plus, she cuts me a brownie size piece!
I love anything pumpkin, especially tofu pumpkin pie or my colonial pumpkin puddings.
My FAVORITE holiday food is … my grandma’s homemade Amaretto sauce for strawberries… I commit some serious sauce faux pas and usually commit to a 3:1 sauce to strawberry ratio every year at our family dinner. It is… UH-MAZING.
hmmm I got to go with Pumpkin pie. I always love it and I cannot wait for it to come in stores.
My favorite holiday food has to be homemade stollen – it’s hard to find a good store bought one so I usually beg a family member to make it for me and ship it to Chicago. One day I’ll find that family recipe…one day…
It”s so hard to limit it to just one favorite holiday food, but if I must I would say Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Ermagherd, yum!!
Molasses cookies are my favorite holiday food. They smell awesome while baking, and they were my grandpa’s favorite, so whenever I bake them, I think of him, and feel just a liiiiiiittle bit closer to my family who is a billion miles away.
I love this guide by the way, I have SO many good ideas now! Thank you!
peppermint chocolate cupcakes are definitely my favorite food to eat around the holidays

My all time favorite thing to eat this time of year are my grandma’s Mexican sugar cookies. It’s an old family recipe that never gets old. Everyone always steals extra cookies even though she would make every one their own box of cookies. Now everyone tries and fails to make them just the way she would. What I would give to have a batch of cookies the way she made them.

My fav holiday food is my dear friend Miles’ mac n cheese. I’ll eat this 365 days/year thus making every day a food holiday for me. Second to that, toss me some chestnut stuffing and I’m all yours. Having chosen those two, I’m sad to report that I’m currently on a no-carb diet.

my fave holiday food is eggnog..ya its a food in my book
My favorite holiday food has to be my Grandmas tamales. She makes them every year and I’ve only recently began to help her with them. She puts her hands in everything and everything is made from scratch. Shes magical.
It’s a bit labor intensive, but nothing gets me in the holiday spirit like a Buche de Noel. I make one most years, with cocoa dust and marzipan mushrooms on top c:
My favorite holiday dessert is seafoam salad, my Dad nicknamed it “green stuff” it’s got lime jello, cream cheese, whip cream and pears in it!

My favorite holiday food is my mom’s vegan friendly spinach dip. 🙂 yum
My favorite holiday food is turkey. I love to make cold sandwiches for the next week after having it for dinner! 🙂
Peppermint bark. My mom makes a ton of it every year, and I always eat most of it. 😀
http://joshfuckingthompson.tumblr.com/post/36924308614/bakeanddestroy-bakeanddestroy-fantasy
Snickerdoodles are my favorite!
Chocolate chip cookies, warm out of the oven!
Russian Tea Cakes and Homemade Fudge!
I’d have to go with either pumpkin pie or peppermint bark, yum either way!
Either celery sticks with cream cheese and green olives on top, or my mama’s homemade peanut brittle :3
Pumpkin bread pudding wins every time.
At the moment, I would have to say that chocolate covered peanut butter balls are my favorite, or at the very least, the food I’m looking most forward to eating.

Pretty much any holiday yummies… My aunt in Tampa always makes a huge dessert Buffet… Lil fruit cake bites, tiny pies, generally yummy stuff.
As a super fatty, I love all holiday foods. However, I have a special place in my heart for stuffing… and Tofurky… and anything sweet. Don’t make me choose!
Favorite holiday food, huh? There’s too many! Haha. I’d have to go with the pumpkin cheesecake my aunts girlfriend makes on Thanksgiving. It’s perfect. Or the glazed spiral ham on Christmas. I love food. All of it.
