Gingerbread cookies are baking in the oven, the kids are stringing popcorn garlands and everyone is secretly knitting, stitching or crafting holiday gifts. A homemade holiday is the very best of all, don't you agree?

Homemade Christmas is chock-full of scrumptious, easy-to-make recipes for every festive occasion. On a snowy morning, treat the family to Ham & Cheese Quiche, Crispy Maple Bacon and Nan's Cinnamon Rolls. For any busy weeknight, it's hearty Last-Minute Lasagna to the rescue. A holiday get-together with friends and neighbors is extra special with Vintage Party Mix and Savory Sausage Balls for sharing.

Before you know it, Christmas Day is here! You'll be making memories with a family dinner of Holiday Pork Loin, Sweet Potato Souffle and Grandma's Swiss String Beans...and be sure to save room for a slice of Red Velvet Christmas Cake!

Gifts from the kitchen are always welcome, so you'll find lots of delectable choices here. Fresh-baked Almond Butter Cookies, Melt-In-Your-Mouth Cookies and Maple Pecan Drops will be a hit at any cookie swap, and who wouldn't love a tin of buttery Homemade Caramels? We've also rounded up fun-to-make gifts like a Cozy Patchwork Scarf and Stained-Glass Votives, plus easy tips for the happiest holiday ever! 182 Recipes.
