1. Garlic Bread Christmas Tree

Garlic bread AND Christmas, our two favourite things combined?

This food recipe has been doing the rounds on TikTok this holiday season and we’re living for it – it’s the cheese pull for us!

It’s the perfect appetizer for any festive gathering, and it’s super simple to make.

This TikTok video states you need to grab some pizza dough, flour, mozzarella, eggs, butter, garlic and basil.

The first step is to fold the pizza dough into a ball with the mozzarella inside.

Make each ball a similar shape and add it side by side on a dish with baking paper to resemble a Christmas tree.

You then need to drizzle the balls with egg wash or olive oil.

Next, pop the tray in the oven for 18 minutes on 180°C.

Whilst it’s cooking get 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 2 tablespoons of fresh basil, ¼ tablespoon of garlic salt and mix them together.

Take the dish out the oven and drizzle on top, with added parmesan and a dipping sauce if you’d like.

There we have it, go and try this cheesy goodness out for yourself and add it to your Christmas menu!

You can easily make a vegan alternative by following this TikTok recipe.

2. Chocolate Yule Log

Next within our merry guide to Christmas food recipes is one for chocolate lovers!

If you’re looking for a nice dessert to add to your Christmas table to impress your fam or friends, take a look at this Chocolate Yule Log.

TikTok user @HariBeavis states you’ll need to get 3 eggs, 85 grams of sugar and whisk them together for a few minutes until they’re pale and foamy.

You then need to add 85 grams of plain flour, 2 tablespoons of cocoa and ½ tbsp of baking powder to the mix and whisk together.

Now, pour the mix onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and cook in the oven for 10 minutes on 180°C.

Then take it out the oven and put the baking tray facing down on another piece of baking paper.

You’re then going to peel back the baking paper whilst it’s hot and roll it tightly in another sheet of fresh baking paper, letting it cool inside.

You then need to whip up some double cream and spread this in the middle of the cake and roll it up again.

The next step is to make some butter icing by whipping up 200 grams of butter, 300 grams of icing sugar and 3 tbsp of cocoa powder.

Finally, spread it on the cake and with a fork make the bark, sprinkle with icing sugar to finish.

There you have it, your Christmas Yule Log – see what yours turns out like!

3. Cinnamon Rolls

Forget heading to Cinnabon for some sweet treats, you can make your own cinnamon rolls right at home – yipee!
