Fruitcake gets dumped on a lot as the Christmas dessert that somehow survives from generation to generation, even though no one likes it. Well maybe it's time to stop busting fruitcake's balls.

In a new survey on Christmas desserts, fruitcake did not come in last. In fact, it beat out two Christmas desserts that you'd think were way more popular.

Cookies came in as the best Christmas dessert, getting 29% of the vote. Eggnog was second at 19% then fruitcake was third, at 12%. Candy canes got 8% of the vote, and gingerbread only got 6%. 

I’m sorry but Eggnog and Candy Canes do not count as dessert! I guess if you bring a Fruitcake to someones house you won`t be kicked out!
