First off though is not a sweet treat... A french classmate went to Belgium recently and brought back this cute sachet filled with lavender, perfect for Christmas (merci!)
Have you seen how big Pandoro or Panettone are?! Lucky for me, MUJI had these mini-sized (like the size of a big muffin), perfect for a taste.
This Italian eggy bread/cake reminds me of what we have in Japan called castella.
Another mini-size made by MUJI.
This one was more bread-like filled with raisins and citrus peels.
I preferred the pandoro while Satoshi preferred the panettone.
These cookies are packed with chocolate chips...yum!
With a cup of tea though, they were perfect.
What are you enjoying these days?

Hola!
You have a very international assortment of xmas sweets!
Ooooh, Muji and its great ideas, I'd love to try those mini versions you've got. I'd love to go to Japan again too :)
I am spanish but I live in the Netherlands, so far I have been trying dutch sweets for the first time, and next weeks my parents will bring me spanish christmas sweets!
Happy holidays!
A great way to celebrate Christmas with treats from all over the world. It is tradition in my family to have shortbread and mince pies :)

Hola Ana! I love the Netherlands, especially Holland.
I don't think I've ever tried minced pies J-A, sounds interesting.
Take care you two and Happy Holidays.

Mere Poulard's chocolate chip cookies are way good! That's one that I wished the supermarket had brought in as the decorative tin offerings. Glad to hear you tried both "pans". Somebody should come up with ornaments shaped like both because they would look cute on a tree.
I'm gonna check another import store to see what kinds of Mere Poulard stuff they have Rowena, I think they had some tin-types.
Take care.
