My daughter just told me that Joy the Baker has a recipe for buche de Noel using mint and chocolate up on her site.

You could make Nanaimo bars and sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.

Chocolate and peppermint for me is Grasshopper Pie.

You could make mendiants (here is an example http://dessertfirstgirl.com/2009/12/mendiants-for-christmas.html) and instead of nuts put crushed candy canes. They are simple to make and very festive.

Hot mint chocolate for the kids, hot mint mocha for the adults. Maybe with a biscotti for a side for texture. A really good hot chocolate can be better than any solid dessert. But if you don't have the time to put into it on the day, best stick with one of those yummy cakes mentioned above.
