Plan Ahead For The Holidays With These Easy Christmas Desserts
Easy Christmas desserts are a must for our family and the recipes are fairly traditional for us.
Ever since I moved to Canada the holiday season and lots of food was a big deal for my wife’s family.
Without fail we would go home for Christmas with containers of easy Christmas desserts that we made and froze.
Baking at the CBB house starts on Dec 1 and keeps on going until we have enough to pass on as edible gifts.
We would always make tonnes of extra Christmas desserts for anyone who showed up at the house.
It’s a must that we give a small plate of our easy Christmas desserts for guests to take home for the holidays.
There was always that aura of happiness with all of the Christmas decorations inside and out and an amazingly decorated tree.
It was a big deal to my inlaws to have the entire family home for Christmas and we made that trip without any thoughts.
Christmas was always at my inlaws and we’d stay a week sometimes two depending on our holiday schedule from work.
Most often we’d leave after New Years’ and head home and happy that we made more memories to hold in our hearts.
Our Little Christmas
How To Print The Christmas Tag
If you Right Click on the Christmas tag below and open it in Microsoft Photo Viewer you can print as many as you’d like on one sheet.
Our Little Christmas Celebration
This Christmas we will be hosting a little Christmas with only 5 adults and 2 children.
Lots have changed for our Canadian family due to things beyond our control and are now only memories.
With Covid 19, death and illness have crushed our hearts and at Christmas, it hurts the most.
December is also a busy month for Mrs. CBB and I as we prepare for Christmas and our Anniversary.
My Mrs. was a December bride as I asked her to marry me at Christmas in the middle of the year.
So, December is not only a time where family comes together but we plan a little something special for ourselves.
Although, now that we have a 6-year-old unless we get a sitter it’s the three of us enjoying a family anniversary.
Stress-Free Easy Christmas Desserts
Christmas for many people is a stressful time for many reasons but planning is the key to holiday happiness.
When you host a Christmas Dinner, Christmas Eve Dinner you’ll need to plan and write everything you need in advance.
The last thing you want is to be running back and forth to the grocery store to get missed ingredients.
Take deep breathes and start with the first chores you need to do and move to the next until you have to put your plan into motion.
Below are only a few of the things a host must do before having guests over for Christmas dinner and baking easy Christmas desserts.
- Hosting Christmas by sending invites and shopping for all the decor, beverages, alcohol and groceries, etc.
- Baking easy Christmas desserts and ensuring you make enough and have holiday plates and tins to give away
- Buying Christmas Gifts and stocking stuffers for family
- Wrapping Christmas Gifts and making sure you have enough wrapping paper, tape, Christmas tags, Christmas bags, and tissue paper.
- Christmas outfits for the family if you like to wear the same outfits or host an ugly Christmas sweater event
- Making sure the table is big enough for the number of people coming over for Christmas Dinner, Christmas Eve, New Years’.
I’m sure all of us reading can come up with other stressful events for planning Christmas but in the end, it’s always worth it.
This year we are hosting and we want to make sure that we provide the same easy Christmas desserts plus one new one.
Traditional baking is great especially if you have cultural recipes that are a must on your holiday baking list.
Keto Easy Christmas Desserts
Besides the traditional Christmas baking extravaganza at our home, we also will be making Keto Christmas Desserts.
Although Mrs. CBB and one other family member are keto for life we modify our easy Christmas desserts and voila.
It’s simple to make a chocolate peanut butter ball which is one of our easy Christmas desserts and make it keto.
To be honest you can’t even tell the difference but anyone watching their carb and sugar intake they are a nice treat without the guilt.
For those of us who don’t mind a bit of guilt and splurging we’ve got you covered.
Below are all excellent choices for easy Christmas desserts but they are all Keto, Low-Carb, and Sugar-free.
I’ll write a post specifically for Keto Easy Christmas Desserts and get more into detail.

HOME AND BLOG UPDATE
HOME UPDATE AND BLOG UPDATE
Bring on the snow! I’m just kidding but I’m almost ready.
Home Update:
Like most people, we are preparing for Christmas by writing out a master baking list so we have all the ingredients.
Since we are hosting this year we don’t want to mess it up, ha!
I’ve got the Christmas wreath up over the garage and the lights on the house are beautiful at night.
I’m planning on going to Canadian Tire tonight to get my new tires and a couple of packs of white lights to string around the trees out front.
Mrs. CBB has the job of putting out the Christmas decorations that we have in a big bin under our stairs.
Other than that I’ve been working from home most days and we made a trip to the city which I cringe because it’s so busy.
Plus, I had to pay $20 for parking which makes my blood boil, like really $20 is massive but not for Toronto.
We had to bring our son to Sick Kids to see his doctor but that will be the last visit for the year.
As I mentioned on Facebook we’ve been experimenting with Food Kits for the last 2 weeks.
I purchased 3 meals from two different Ontario food kit companies and I will be blogging all about it.
Is it worth it? How much would it cost us to make the same meal at home?
I already know I’m going to be SHOCKED. More to come on that topic soon.
Blog Update
Not a whole heck of a lot has happened on the blog apart from me updating posts, fixing broken links, and making sure they all comply with Search Engine Optimization.
If you ever find a broken link please alert me so I can fix it. 🙂
In the new year, I’d like to have a budget binder completed. That’s all I will say.
The new 2021 Canadian Budget Binder Excel Spreadsheet will be ready in time for January 2021.
If you have any ideas for the blog that you’d like to see or topics that you feel I should discuss please message me.
I love hearing from the fans and knowing what they want to know about.

That’s all for now CBB friends.
Please share CBB to help us grow.

It’s filled with photos and what we’ve been up to in the CBB family.
Keep on reading, stopping by, chatting, and thanks for being a fan of CBB.
Without you, there would be no Canadian Budget Binder. A safe space for Canadians to talk about their finance and find free resources to get them on the path to debt freedom.
Talk soon,
Mr.CBB x.
