Ah, “Christmas Chaos Cake” sounds like a fun, festive treat! The name usually refers to a cake that’s full of colors, flavors, and textures—basically a delicious mess that celebrates the holiday spirit. It often includes things like dried fruits, nuts, chocolate, sprinkles, and sometimes a surprise ingredient or two. 🎄🍰
