I made this stollen a few weeks ahead of time and it held up well in the freezer. It was just as delicious when I defrosted it.

The marzipan filling was a nice touch and added a bit of sweetness to the stollen.

I used a combination of dried cranberries and raisins in the filling and it was a great combination.

I added a little extra cinnamon and nutmeg to the filling and it gave the stollen a wonderful warm flavor.
