What dishes were found on the dinner table over the holidays? Our list of the most popular recipes on our site during the month of December gives us a good idea. And it seems that it smelled and tasted like tradition!

1. Meat Pies

Whether you call it meat pie or tourtière, it’s no surprise that this Quebec classic is at the top of the list.

3. Gingerbread Cookies

Why are these gingerbread cookies a staple of the festive season? They bring up so many great holiday memories, have an intoxicating freshly baked scent, and are fun to decorate as a family and to share with loved ones.

The pastry bag is always nearby when the holiday season approaches. Got a batch of cookies to decorate? Get the kids involved, and they’ll be so happy to tell the grandparents that they made them themselves!

The holiday season is the perfect occasion to bake these best-ever date squares. We highly recommend doubling the recipe in order to keep one batch for yourself, and to share the second batch with loved ones.
