Merry Christmas everyone! We did it, I am opening the last door of the food advent calendar “Spice It Up!”. I am still so honored to be the host of the event. If you have no idea what an advent calendar is, check out details here. Today I am doing a roundup of the calendar with Christmas recipes. So if you are still looking for last minute inspiration, look no further! We have main dishes, cookies (lots of them), desserts, breads, breakfast ideas, beverages, anything you possibly need to host an awesome Christmas menu.
Main dishes
Sides
Perfect for sausages, but can also be paired with poultry

Cardamom spiced almond milkI am sure you can make this delicious treat also with regular milk. Sounds so good and cardamom gives it the little extra!
Eggnog with a meringue toppingHomemade eggnog with meringue topping sounds like a really cool idea!

PS: As I have always been a dessert girl, I will make this super delicious chocolate mousse cherry cake as the main dessert for Christmas. I won first prize in a recipe contest with it, you can read more about that here.
