After several years of research, it's been determined that calories don't exist during the holiday season—or at least that's what you should choose to believe. Temptation is quite literally around every corner, and not just because of the amazing holiday sales going on. New York is filled with sweets shops that amp up their confections for the holiday season, and you'd be crazy not to take advantage of them just because you're worried about fitting into your New Year's Eve dress.

We've picked out 15 sweet spots around the city that are sure to bring holiday cheer to you and yours. From truffles filled with champagne to snow-covered cupcakes and more, there's something to satisfy every sweet tooth on your gift list—yes, even vegans. Check out our map after the jump to see where you can pick up these goodies. And come back next month for our map of best dental offices to get a cavity filled (just kidding!).
