Tips:

To get moist and fluffy cupcakes, make sure your ingredients are at room temperature. This will help them blend together perfectly and create a smooth batter.
When mixing the batter, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing can lead to tough cupcakes.
Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing while baking.
Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can lead to dry cupcakes.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Making holiday poke cupcakes is a fun and easy way to celebrate the season. With a little creativity, you can create cupcakes that are both festive and delicious. So put on your apron, preheat your oven, and get ready to bake up some holiday cheer!
