No, your eyes do not deceive you. That Holy Grail for home chefs everywhere — the cast iron Dutch oven — can be yours for less than $50. The cast iron conducts heat evenly while the lid locks in moisture, and the enamel makes cleanup a breeze. This one from Martha Stewart is a beauty, and since it’s cast iron, it can go from the stovetop to the oven and then right to your table. It boasts a charming fluted design that resembles a cupcake liner and comes in a gorgeous pale teal that’ll be a welcome addition to anyone’s table.

A great kettle is a must-have for pour-over coffee, instant oatmeal and ramen, and, of course, for that perfect cup of tea. And since tea kettles usually sit out on the stovetop, form is just as important as function. Enter Kate Spade’s line of kettles. Made from durable enamel-over-steel, they come in an array of cheery pastels, swirl patterns, and polka-dots, all with “Whistle While You Work” engraved on the spout cover. (Does it get any cuter than that?)

Hey, that egg nog's not going to mix itself — although it might feel that way if you whip it up in a Magic Bullet. In 10 seconds, this petite countertop wonder can mix, blend, chop, and grind whatever is thrown its way, thanks to the stainless steel cross blades. Prep dips, soups, smoothies, and margaritas right into your cup with the included “party mugs.”

Apple pie. Pumpkin pie. Pecan Pie. The holidays mean desserts, specifically all that tasty, seasonal pie. Le Creuset's deep pie dish will ensure that your Thanksgiving dessert will bake, not burn, thanks to the enamel-coated stoneware that conducts heat evenly.

Upgrade any bingewatch session with this fresh popcorn maker from Dash. It cooks with hot air, which means you're using less oil, although the included measuring cup can be used to melt butter or heat up truffle oil if you want to give your popcorn an extra punch. And while it’ll easily fit in a cabinet (it’s a petite 5.2" × 7.1" × 12.7"), the sweet retro design will look great on the countertop in between seasons of The Crown.

The chrome accents are designed to look vintage, but there’s nothing old-fashioned about this Cuisinart mixer. It packs a lot into its economical price, boasting five speeds that can shift from whipping up light, airy cream to tackling the densest cookie dough.

Those are just a few of the reasons why this mixer made it onto our Best List this year, so snag one for your favorite baker or get one for yourself to help churn out those Christmas cookies, cakes, and pies.
