Budget Christmas Dessert
Delicious low-cost Christmas desserts!
It can be easy to get carried away in the Christmas spirit and sparkle, especially when planning a special meal to celebrate with your friends and family. It’s easier than you may think to bring the ‘wow’ factor to your Christmas dessert table, without bringing the ‘ow’ factor to your wallet! We’ve teamed up with A Better Choice to bring you three easy and delicious low-cost dessert options that won’t break the bank, or have you spending hours in the kitchen.
