From Boozy Eggnog to Decorating Cookies, Here Are 13 Sweet Holiday Traditions From Our Editors You'll Want to Steal

"Every December, my parents and their neighbors host a holiday cookie exchange. Everyone brings a platter of cookies, brownies, or another dessert, then we spend the afternoon tasting all the sweets. At the end, everyone makes a platter with a variety of cookies. Not only do you get to take home an amazing variety of treats, but you learn about each other's family traditions and recipes in the process. It's my favorite way to celebrate!" — Annalise Mantz, associate editor, Native Living
