Whether you went full pie mode, baked up a tray of brownies, or twisted a star bread like a holiday baking boss, here’s the thing: you showed up, turned on the oven, and made something sweet. That’s the good stuff.

Holiday baking isn’t about perfection. It’s about flour on the counter, sugar under your nails, and something warm to share (or hoard—zero judgment). So bake what you love. Try something new. And most of all, save yourself a piece. Always.

Merry Christmas, friend. I’ll see you back in the kitchen soon.
