Large Family Christmas Eve Donuts
Although you can bake the dough right away and offer your loved ones these fresh, warm donuts after removing them from the oven, you can also freeze the donuts for up to six months.

You can expect to see smiles on the faces of your children when presenting them with these moist and delicious Christmas Eve Donuts.
The List of Ingredients to Use When Making Christmas Eve Donuts
Make the Christmas Eve Donuts for your family with the following baking ingredients:
- All-Purpose Flour. The all-purpose flour is the first ingredient needed to create your base for the donut dough.
- Chocolate Chip Morsels. Use chocolate chip morsels to give these donuts a chocolatey taste that makes them more decadent.
- Vanilla Extract. A small amount of vanilla extract gives flavor to the donuts.
- Brown Sugar. Use brown sugar to add some sweetness to your donut dough before you begin baking these tasty treats.
- Butter. As with any baking recipe, you will need to have some butter. Leave it out to let it soften before mixing it with flour and other ingredients in this recipe.
You will also need some white chocolate, sprinkles, eggs, and white sugar to complete the recipe.
Ways to Store and Freeze the Christmas Eve Donuts For a Large Family
Not everyone has extra time to bake on Christmas Eve. If you are one of those people who have so much to do during the holiday season, you can make these Large Family Christmas Eve Donuts ahead of time to have them ready to bake or eat by the time December 24th arrives. You have two options when preparing these donuts in advance.
You can prepare the dough, freeze it on a wax sheet of paper, and then put it in a sealed container before adding it back to the freezer for several weeks or months. However, you can also bake the donuts, spread them out on parchment paper in a large airtight container, and place them in the freezer. You could quickly defrost them by pulling them from the freezer and placing them in your fridge or putting them on your kitchen table.
