This Christmas classic has been thoroughly updated, keeping the season fresh with 70 percent new recipes and color photos, 23 festive holiday crafts, and more.

At this hectic time of year, cooks can feel safe and secure in the capable hands of Ms. Crocker. Every imaginable Christmas dish is here--cakes, candies, breads, meats, and, thankfully, lots of vegetarian dishes (a group somewhat ignored in many holiday cookbooks).

Thanks for looking.
