5 Christmas Treats You Will Want to Make!

A group of photos of Christmas treats with a text dividing them.

I love finding recipes that our family loves, but one that doesn’t take me so much time (or baking talent) to make.   

These 5 EASY Christmas Treats hit the nail on the head. 🙂 They are my kind of treat: simple, cute, and tasty.

With the holiday season in full effect, it’s important to have fun but to also remember to take care of yourself.  With the leftover Thanksgiving Pie in the refrigerator and brownies, cookies, and candy canes on the countertop, it’s no wonder we find ourselves snacking on so many yummy foods!

Here are 5 treats to enjoy this holiday…

1. Reindeer Cupcakes
These reindeer cupcakes are so cute!  These Reindeer Cupcakes are as delicious as they are adorable!  School class parties, Christmas get-togethers… there is always a good time to make Reindeer Cupcakes!

3. Nutter Butter Cookies
These Nutter Butter Snowmen Cookies are so cute and perfect for any Christmas Cookie exchange or just to have at home to put a smile on your kid’s faces (they can help you make it, too, which they will love!)

4. Candy Cane Glasses
I loved making these candy cane glasses because they are fun to use for any party!  Fill them with candy cane milk (like we did) or with m&ms or really anything! They are fun and they will be a huge hit & go along with any of your Christmas cookies

5. Peppermint Chocolate Cookies
When I give these cookies as a gift, I add a handmade touch with a little card.  You can even make a homemade jar of Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Mix with a little note or card.  It’s the perfect way to show someone that you care. It is simple to make and doesn’t take much time.   It doesn’t require a lot of ingredients, either, which makes it even better in my eyes. 🙂

You will love these treats and they are perfect to take to any get-together.
