Tips & Tricks for Fun and Cute Christmas Desserts

  • Use Festive Colors – Red, green, white, and gold are the classic Christmas colors. Use colored frosting, sprinkles or edible glitter to incorporate these colors into traditional Christmas desserts to instantly make any dessert feel festive.
  • Simple shapes go a long way, so stick to easy shapes like stars, trees, or snowflakes using cookie cutters since they are easy to decorate.
  • For an extra cute touch, serve your desserts on festive platters or arrange them in Christmas-themed boxes for gifting. A little ribbon or a holiday-themed tag can make your desserts look even more special.
  • If you’re hosting a party or just trying not to overindulge, opt for mini desserts. Mini versions like bite-sized cheesecakes or cupcakes make it easy to enjoy a treat without feeling too full.
  • No-bake Christmas desserts are a quick and easy way to create cute Christmas treats, perfect for adding festive flair without spending hours in the kitchen.
  • Add holiday spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to instantly make desserts feel more festive. Sprinkle them into your doughs, frostings, or even whipped cream for an extra holiday flavor boost.

      Can I make Christmas desserts ahead of time?

      Yes! Many easy Christmas treats, like cookies, can be made ahead of time. Doughs can be prepared in advance and frozen, while baked cookies and cakes can be stored in airtight containers for several days or frozen until needed. 

      What’s the best way to transport cute Christmas desserts for a holiday party?

      For cookies or mini desserts, arrange them in sturdy holiday-themed containers or trays with a lid. For cakes and more delicate desserts, use a cake carrier or box with dividers to prevent them from shifting or breaking during transport.

      How can I keep my decorated cookies looking fresh?

      Store decorated cookies in an airtight container between layers of wax paper to preserve their appearance. If you’re stacking them, be gentle so the decorations don’t get smudged. Room temperature storage is ideal for a few days, or freeze them for longer shelf life.

      kid-friendly Christmas treats!
