Americans love to eat candy canes, gingerbread, and sugar cookies during the holidays.

Elsewhere in the world, however, a typical holiday dessert looks a lot different.

From an 18-layer ring cake in Norway to a rum-filled fruit cake in Jamaica, this is what holiday treats look like in 22 countries around the world.
