~*~Foods that make Christmas special~*~

Festive time is always the time for a feast! From the cakes to wine, take a look at the food that makes the Christmas feasts always special.
What ever be the origins of Eggnog, it is one of those special concoctions which set the spirits alive during Christmas. It is a great drink to enjoy with friends and family and it sure will pep you up. In photo: A glass of Best Eggnog is seen. For a real taste of eggnog you need to try the Best Eggnog recipe that uses the traditional raw eggs as the main ingredient.
Cutout cookies are a treat you cannot do without. You can get imaginative about them when you bake them. Kids adore it and the funkier the shapes, the merrier the kids are. In photo: Decked Out Christmas Tree Cutout Cookies are seen. Have fun while decorating these cookies.

What is a Christmas without a cake? Making the cake is a tradition in itself. The dough is mixed with the entire family in assembly. It is easy to grab one at the bakers, but then, making one at home is always special. In photo: This is it, the 'perfect' vegan chocolate cake developed after painstaking testing in the test kitchens of Cook's.

From its humble origin as a ginger candy, the gingerbread evolved. And now, people spend time and meticulously design them and deck them up. In photo: Gingerbread houses are seen in the lobby of the Park Plaza Regency Lodge hotel in Omaha.

Vegans excuse! The traditional Christmas meal is not complete without the stuffed turkey. Dig in! In photo: Chef Todd English's holiday meal of southern fried turkey, beignet brussel sprouts, pumpkin gravy, bacon aoli, and honeyed cranberry cream at his restaurant, "Olives" in Charlestown, Mass.

The candy cane gives the meal a festive touch. The reds and whites of the candy cane goes perfectly well with those chocolate fudges or brownies! In photo: This Candy Cane Brownie is very fudgy with a delicious crispy top.
