The 24 Absolute Best Recipes for Low-Carb Christmas Desserts!
The holiday season has always been dominated (at least in my mind) by delicious desserts. It’s a festive season filled with cookie exchanges, magazines sporting red velvet cakes on the covers, and peppermint bark at your favorite coffee shop… seasonal treats to tempt a sweet tooth are everywhere!
But for those heading to your holiday table or special occasion who are on a ketogenic diet or low-carb diet or simply choose to lead a low-carb lifestyle, you may want to have some low-carb treats on hand.
I’ve rounded up some of the best low carb Christmas desserts from some of the best keto and low-carb blogs around. And the best part? They’re delicious enough for everyone to enjoy!

And this collection of keto Christmas desserts truly features the best of the best.

Frequently Asked Questions about Low-Carb or Keto Dessert recipes
What is the best sugar substitute to bake with?
My preference has always been to use an erythritol-based sweetener, like Swerve. If you don’t have to bake completely sugar-free desserts, from a taste perspective it’s a good idea to experiment with using part sugar sub and part regular sugar. This tends to yield the best tasting desserts with fewer calories and less sugar overall.
Can I use regular chocolate chips when baking low-carb or keto recipes?
Yes, especially if you opt for bittersweet dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips. That said, Lily’s makes delicious sugar-free chocolate to use in your sweet treats.
