This year Christmas will be a kind of old-meets-new tradition in my house. I’m hosting my in-laws. We’re going to wear nauseous Christmas sweaters from a ’80s. We’ll substantially listen to aged annals from my childhood—the Chipmunks, Fleetwood Mac, Bing Crosby. We’ll watch White Christmas and Elf (classics).

On a food side, we’re going both traditional—baked ham and immature bean stew (homemade, natch)—and ushering in a new epoch with muffin-tin stuffing and Brussels sprouts (oh yeah, baby).

But when it comes to dessert, we wish to go retro all a way. OK, retro with a twist. These updated recipes for classical Christmas desserts are healthier than their old-school counterparts and move in complicated season aptitude too.

Help me collect a best retro dessert to top off my old-meets-new Christmas menu—because some things never go out of style.
