Introduction

For the last few years in New York, we always end the year with a special Christmas dessert review.  We have shared the best desserts at our favourite NYC Christmas Market, where to go for dessert after prancing around the city on a tour of the best Christmas lights in NYC, where to find the most exquisite Christmas chocolates and hot chocolate after Christmas shopping in Soho, and why you need to include peppermint bark at the Christmas feasting table. Last year, we created a list of budget-friendly Christmas desserts for wherever and whenever you are trotting around the city. This year – our last Christmas in NYC 😦 – we round up ten of the best new budget-friendly Christmas desserts that you must not miss. Happy upcoming Christmas all! 🙂
