Forget seasonal beverages, cozy sweaters and snowfall -- winter is the most wonderful time of the year because our favorite makeup brands release their holiday collections, and there's nothing we love more than gorgeously packaged makeup palettes. (Well, maybe champagne toasts.)

But the best makeup palettes should be more than just pretty packaging -- they should be filled with buttery, pigmented eye shadows, brilliant shades of blush and unbelievable lip colors. With that in mind, we went in search of the most gorgeous and most useful holiday palettes. The good news: You don't have to spend tons of money to feel like you splurged. These amazing palettes ring in at all prices, from $5 to $200.

Here, the covetable, must-have-now holiday palettes for the 2015 holiday season

Holiday Makeup Palette: Too Faced La Petite Maison
Price Range: $26-50

We'd take this tres chic miniature house, $39, over a gingerbread house any day. It comes with a mixture of matte and shimmery, soft and bold shadows that glide on oh-so-easily with minimal fallout. It also comes with a deluxe sample of their best-selling Better Than Sex mascara, plus a step-by-step guide for three different looks. We'll toast to that.
