SEASONED CELEBRATIONS
Twelve bite-sized holiday recipes from our Recipe Advent Box Set, one for each day of a December countdown, gathered here for the picking, in whatever order sounds right. Already have the box? Whether you're peeking ahead, cooking through, or coming back for a favorite β this page will keep. Just browsing? There's a holiday table somewhere that needs one of these.
From the quietly unexpected β lamb meatballs with cumin, coriander, and a pomegranate glaze; beet-pickled deviled eggs with a coriander-spiced brine; fudgy crinkle cookies hiding an ancho chile kick β to the warmly familiar: apple-cinnamon scones with honey butter, Swedish Pepparkakor, and a baked brie wrapped in golden puff pastry. Warming spices run through the whole collection β cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves β but they keep interesting company. There's more range here than the season usually gets credit for. We also snuck in a thirteenth recipe β a baker's dozen bonus that didn't make the tin but absolutely makes the table.
