Christmas morning begins sweetly with eggnog and cookies. Tins and tins of cookies lovingly baked by my sisters, children, nieces, and nephews. I can barely try them all. I do my best.

For the holiday dinner, I prefer other dessert options. The main requirements: The dessert should be make-ahead, easy to assemble, and visually appealing.
