We aren't much help are we? Everyone must be recipeed out.
Does it have to be a Christmas thing? My big hit is always the 7 layer dip.
What about sausage/bisquik ball thingies?

Not sure if you need something a little more "fancy" but here's a bundt cake recipe that I've been making for about 15 years and people still ask for it. I've had a few people say they want the whole cake for their "grab-bag" gift! (Got this request again just this past Sat.) It's unbelievably easy and your kids will love it too. And depending on the type of party you're bringing this to, just slice and place on a special serving plate. It's presentable & pretty.

Chocolate Chip Cake​

1 box of yellow/butter cake mix
1 lg. box of vanilla INSTANT pudding
12 oz. bag of chocolate chips
4 eggs
1/3 C. vegetable oil
8 oz. sour cream

Combine all ingredients in large bowl and use elec. mixer for a couple of minutes, until its mixed thru and very creamy. Pour into a greased/sprayed bundt pan. Bake in a 350 degree pre-heated oven for 50 ? 60 minutes.

** Be sure to let cake cool completely before removing it from the pan. **​

Here's a really super pound cake recipe, originally from Southern Living. I've never had anybody spit it out with a look of horror yet.

CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE

1 ? cups butter (three sticks), softened
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition.

Combine flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low to medium speed just until blended. Stir in vanilla. Pour batter into a greased and floured 10-inch Bundt pan.

Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool completely on wire rack.

Even though you have to take the cake somewhere for others to enjoy, you can still have the sheer pleasure of licking the beaters and the bowl!

This I make every year for Christmas and New Years.

Kahulua Cake

1 (3.4 oz) package chocolate instant pudding mix
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup Kahlua
1/3 cup vodka:roll:
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup Kahlua
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

For the cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine the cake mix ,pudding mix, eggs and oil in a bowl and beat until smooth
Add 1/3 cup Kahlua, vodka,sugar, and water and mix well: batter will be thin
Spoon into a greased and floured bundt pan.
Bake for 50 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean
Cool in the pan for several minutes. Romove to a serving plate.

For the glaze:

This is great warmed with some vanilla ice cream. I've never made this that everyone didn't ask for the recipe.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif](A steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit)[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The Dough (dick)[/FONT]
This should be a suet[FONT=Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]1[/FONT] dough, though many recipes leave out the suet, and may substitute 4 oz. margarine.

8 oz. of self raising flour
-- If you are not using self-raising flour, add 1 tablespoon baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon of salt
6 oz. of shredded or finely chopped, rendered suet
-- To render, cook suet over a moderately low heat, for about 20 minutes, until it is melted and clear and cracklings are golden.
Run it through a sieve into a bowl, and cool.
Chill until it is firm and white.
-- Covered and chilled, it will keep for a week.
0 to 6 oz. of white-bread breadcrumbs (one of the many variables)
4 oz. of sugar: caster, extra-fine, superfine, or 10x
4 oz. to 6 oz. combined sultanas[FONT=Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]2[/FONT], raisins[FONT=Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]3[/FONT], or currants[FONT=Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]4[/FONT] (other dried fruit can be substituted according to taste and/or allergies)
1 lemon rind, grated or zested
5 to 10 tablespoons of milk or water - normally about 10 tbsp milk for a recipe this size.​

Combine the flour, sugar, (baking powder, and salt) in a mixing bowl or food processor.
Add the shredded suet until the mixture resembles coarse-ground meal.
Add the bread crumbs, dried fruits, and grated or zested lemon, and stir.
In a bowl (not the food processor), drizzle in the milk and stir with a fork until incorporated. Knead until a slightly sticky dough is formed.
Roll the dough into a cylinder (it should still be slightly sticky).
Wrap in a single layer of foil, brushed with butter (or a double thickness of grease proof paper), and seal. An alternate version calls for wrapping the dough in cheesecloth.
Traditionally, the dough should be steamed for 1.5 - 2.0 hours, but the cheesecloth version is boiled in water for about the same period.​

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The Custard Sauce[/FONT]

2 cups whole milk
9 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
a pinch of salt​

Bring milk to a boil in a 3 or 4 quart, heavy saucepan; remove from heat.
Beat yolks, sugar, and the pinch of salt in a mixing bowl and whisk the hot milk in a slow stream.
Pour back into the pan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened (77?C [170?F] would be good).
Pour through a fine sieve into a pitcher.
Covered and chilled, it will keep for two days.​

Serve warm.
Makes up to ten servings.​
