Retro Desserts You Should Bust Out for Christmas This Year
By Michelle Edelbaum, EatingWell Digital Director
This year Christmas will be a kind of old-meets-new tradition in my house. I’m hosting my in-laws. We’re going to wear ugly Christmas sweaters from the ’80s. We’ll probably listen to old records from my childhood — the Chipmunks, Fleetwood Mac, Bing Crosby. We’ll watch White Christmas and Elf (classics).
On the food side, we’re going both traditional — baked ham and green bean casserole (homemade, natch) — and ushering in a new era with muffin-tin stuffing and Brussels sprouts (oh yeah, baby).

But when it comes to dessert, I want to go retro all the way. OK, retro with a twist. These updated recipes for classic Christmas desserts are healthier than their old-school counterparts and bring in modern flavor flair too.
Help me pick the best retro dessert to cap off my old-meets-new Christmas menu — because some things never go out of style.
