Thanksgiving dinner is usually all about thinking big: 20-plus-pound turkeys, a giant tub of mashed potatoes and all the crowd-pleasing casseroles. But when it comes to dessert, I want to make an argument for scaling down this year.

They're seasonal, beginner-friendly and easy to make ahead. For a festive touch before dessert, try serving a few bite-sized finger foods like stuffed dates or mini bruschetta to keep guests happily snacking. Oh, and let's not forget undeniably adorable. Also try some bubbly prosecco cocktail pairings. Read on for 54 mini Thanksgiving dessert recipes you'll never grow tired of, from no-bake mason jar spiced cheesecakes to mini apple tarts.
