I love baking during the holiday season and I think one of the best things about it is that I get to bake for my family and friends! After all, Christmas is all about spreading happiness and who doesn’t like presents? For me, I like gifting things from my kitchen so I’ve combined a list of 4 edible Christmas gifting ideas that are perfect for the holiday season!
These quick recipes take only a few minutes in your kitchen, are super versatile and come with a special token of love. From chocolatey sweet to boozy, this list of edible gifting Christmas ideas will be your go-to gifting for the season.
This year, I decided to make a delicious Hot Chocolate Mix, Boozy Caramel, Cookie Butter and some Cranberry Pistachio Fudge for the holidays. The thing that I like the best about these recipes is that they require very few ingredients, a couple of minutes to combine and the end result is a beautiful jar of edible love!
Another recipe that you can try this holiday season is my favorite Hot Chocolate recipe from the blog. If you make it or any of these recipes, don’t forget to take pictures and tag me on Instagram with #Bakewithshivesh. Happy Holidays!

Hii Shivesh! Really loved these edible gifting ideas! I just had two questions:
1. For the cookie butter, can we use any other cookies apart from Lotus? If yes, which ones would you recommend?;
2. For the fudge, can we use other nuts like walnut instead of the cranberries? Or maybe some other fruit?
I would be very grateful if you could answer these questions
Thank you and keep up the amazing work! 🙂
