National Parfait Day: 30 Recipes to Help You Celebrate
Plus Beautiful Holiday Parfait Photos
National Parfait Day is November 25th.For me this simply delicious holiday is easy to celebrate. The creamy texture with the abundance of flavors all combined in one easy dessert is something I have a hard time resisting. So when it came to celebrating National Parfait Day, it was a must.
How does one celebrate such a holiday anyway? Thanksgiving is barely over and now the rush of Christmas begins. There just isn't time for it.
Have you ever been to a party? Of course you have. But, have you ever been to a parfait party? Since there is so much to do in preparing for the end of the year activities, I have thrown a decorating party and included great desserts like parfaits. We always have a good time decorating, but sharing new parfait recipes with others makes it an event that sure is sweet!
If you are looking for some new recipes for parfaits, you'll find more than 20 here. I've also included a section just for Christmas parfait recipes.

I like this recipe because I can make a variety of each by using different pie fillings. Try making this recipe with apple, strawberry, blueberry or cherry pie filling. You can also make this recipe by using frozen berries (thawed) and leave out the granola. Parfaits look beautiful and taste great without all the hard work.
