Mail order cookies, cakes, pies, and other sweet treats are better (and more prolific) than ever, and that’s a good thing this holiday season. We rounded up some of the best desserts you can order online, whether you’re looking for a delicious gift or an easy way to end your holiday dinner.
It seemed like a great idea at first: Desserts are a must on the holiday table so why not bake a couple from scratch? But you still have to run out and do some last minute shopping. And you’re definitely going to hit the grocery store a few more times (it doesn’t help that your nephew decided to go full keto recently). Oh, and now the oven is acting up.
Sometimes it’s best to play it safe and let someone else handle the heavy lifting. We’ve rounded up a bunch of sweet standouts that can be ordered directly to your door. It’s pie season, so we’ve included several of those as well as great mail order cookies, cakes, and even some non-baked ice cream additions because when it comes to dessert, the more the merrier.
Send them to someone you love, or have them delivered to your own house to help save your sanity this holiday hosting season.

Dutch Apple by Julian Pie Company, $20.95
The Smothers Family knows a thing or two about apple pie.

Sugar Cream “Hoosier Sugar Pie” by My Sugar Pie, $28
If you’re not familiar with the Hoosier Pie, it might just be the best thing to come out of Indiana aside from Larry Bird and David Letterman.

It’s the kind of slice that after taking one bite you’ll be asking, “Where have you been all my life?” Buy Now
