In our family, we have tried and true recipes that are made almost every year: cut-out cookies (with lots of sprinkles!), homemade fudge, chocolate covered pretzels, peanut butter blossoms, peppermint bark&#8230;is your mouth watering yet? And while I love homemade baked goods, taking the family out for a delicious, professionally-made holiday treat, is a great family date night. Plus, with all of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/edmonton\/category\/christmas-lights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">light displays<\/a> throughout the city, you can make a whole night of it!<\/p>\n<p>To help spread Christmas cheer, I&#8217;ve compiled a list of mouth-watering, must-have desserts from bakeries around Edmonton. These insta-worthy treats are almost too pretty to eat. But eat, we must. After all, we deserve a special Christmas treat (or two or three) after the train wreck of a year we&#8217;ve all been through (Can I get an &#8220;Amen&#8221;?!).<\/p>\n<p>Lately, our family has started having &#8220;picnics&#8221; in the back of our van to enjoy dinner out while still staying safe. We pick-up take-out, find a place to park, fold down the back row of seats, lay out a blanket, crank up the Christmas tunes, and enjoy our meal. The kids think it&#8217;s hilarious that they get to eat in the van &#8212; they&#8217;re usually dancing in between bites of dinner &#8212; and I love that we get to escape our daily routine. We&#8217;re planning on hitting up one (or more&#8230;or all&#8230;) of these Edmonton bakeries for a special Christmas treat to enjoy in our van &#8220;picnic&#8221; during the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Let your stomach be your guide and pick out one of these delicious desserts. Supporting local businesses has never tasted so good!<\/p>\n<p><em>*Note: Bakeries change their food offerings often, so please check with them for availability of specific desserts before visiting. Please check with individual bakeries to see if they are offering dine-in, take-out, delivery, or curbside pick-up. Some may require pre-ordering online.
