If you love frosted cookies and Christmas cakes, slow cooker holiday desserts may not seem like the best idea. I mean, if there’s any time to go all out on fancy dessert, it’s the holidays.

Whether you love rich chocolate cake or see yourself as more of a fruit crisp person, there’s something here for you. All the recipes are guaranteed easy and delicious and can be made ahead of time for stress-free holiday party prep.
So, what are you waiting for? Add one (or all) of these 11 slow cooker holiday desserts to your December to-do list.
