While it is important to provide the classics you’ve been making for years, it may be time to start looking for new recipes to add to your holiday roster. Delicacies like homemade gingerbread, traditional eggnog, and even your very own peppermint, are all great items to spice up your holiday get-togethers. Thankfully, Partstown has gathered this incredibly helpful list of traditional holiday favorites to add to your kitchen this season.
Gingerbread
Gingerbread will be forever associated with Christmas thanks to the Gingerbread cookie. Although known for the cookie, gingerbread is also excellent in cakes and coffee, and almost everything in between. Gingerbread is a classic flavor that adds a little extra sense of “home for the holidays” that can be enjoyed by any and everyone.
Eggnog
Eggnog is just one of those holiday classics that you either love or hate, and there is really no in between. Although this is typically thought of as a beverage only, eggnog can be added to give intense flavor to pancakes, French toast, and many other items on the menu. Eggnog can even be used to flavor icing, which can add a little extra Christmas feel to an otherwise ordinary dessert.

Peppermint
No holiday get together is fully complete without a tray of peppermints. This sweet treat is perfect for the colder season, and also is an excellent pairing with chocolate. From hot chocolate to lattes to mochas, add a small dash of the holiday spirit with some peppermint. You can even add a candy cane to your drinks for a festive touch.
