30 Best Christmas Pies to Pass Around the Table This Holiday Season
Get your whipped cream ready!
It might seem like Christmas cookies get all the attention during the holiday season, but Santa (and your family) will appreciate a slice of homemade pie just as much. It's true, especially when you make Christmas pies in all your favorite holiday flavors! Whether it's cranberry, chocolate, peppermint, or even eggnog, you can make a pie that's perfect for Christmas.
Of course, the holidays are all about traditions, so you'll find plenty of Christmas classics here: sweet potato, apple, pecan, and Ree Drummond's chocolate pie all make the list. Don't be shy about baking more than one! Plus, if you stash some pie crust in the freezer ahead of time, you can make these holiday pies in time for December 25. Recipes like the rich, fudgy Mississippi mud pie, coconut cream pie, and butterscotch pie can all be prepped on Christmas Eve and topped with whipped cream when it's time to serve.
If you want to try something different, whip up a minty grasshopper pie or lean into the decadence of the holiday with an over-the-top chocolate meringue pie that's sure to impress. Whichever you choose to bring to the Christmas potluck, just be sure to save yourself an extra slice! You can even make an extra and give it as a homemade gift. 'Tis the season to spread holiday cheer, after all!
