These Christmas trifles are filled with an incredible fluffy sponge cake, whipped cream, and all your favorite fruits. I love them so much because they taste incredible, but also because they add vibrant color to your holiday table. While we do eat this trifle for Christmas, I have also found that it’s lovely for New Year’s and other holidays and events throughout the year.
