15+ Easy Christmas Treats Recipes

These are all sweet treats. But, if you’re looking for something Christmas themed to go with all this dessert, make our Candy Cane-Shaped Charcuterie Board.

It only looks sweet because it’s shaped like candy. But it’s filled with meat and cheese.

And fine, there’s a bowl of Christmas chocolate on the side.

Chocolate Christmas Trees

These chocolate Christmas trees are so easy to make. You use candy melts, so they’ll stay warm while you’re making many trees, which means you can make a bunch of these at once.

You can either add them as is to your Christmas tray or use them to top homemade Christmas cupcakes.

Oreo Snow Globe Cookies

If you want to make a showstopper this year, these Oreo snow globe cookies are it.

You dip Oreo cookies then decorate them to look like the prettiest winter scene — complete with sprinkles acting as the shiny snow you’re used to seeing in snow globes. Add a edible glitter dusted Reese’s peanut butter cup at the bottom and they even stand on their own.

Brownie Christmas Trees

Pete’s favorite dessert is a brownie, so I’m always trying to find a fun way to make them. And these brownie Christmas trees are perfect.

You start with a boxed brownie mix, which already makes them easy. Then, dye some store-bought frosting, pipe a tree shape, and decorate with cute sprinkles.

Santa Hat Strawberries

If you want to incorporate a little fruit into your treats, these Santa hat strawberries are the perfect way to do that.

Stick the strawberries in some melted chocolate then sprinkles to make the bottom “fur”, then stick a marshmallow on the top to be the poof on his hat. They’re so cute and so easy to make.

Christmas Wreath Oreo Cookies

A steady hand will help you make these Christmas wreath Oreo cookies adorable.

You dip the cookies in vanilla almond bark, then hand pipe the green circle for the wreath, add some sprinkles to look like ornaments, then hand pipe the red bow. Your friends will love them, though, so the piping is worth it.

Chocolate Christmas Fudge

We are all super busy this time of year, so maybe you don’t have time to actually wait at home for something to bake. No worries. This chocolate Christmas fudge is a simple no bake treat that is adorable.

You make the fudge with two ingredients — microwaved together for less than two minutes — then pour it into a pan and top it with red and green M&M’s and Christmas sprinkles. That’s it.

Christmas Rice Krispies Treats

Red and green Rice Krispies cereal turns these from traditional Rice Krispies treats into a super festive Christmas version.

It’s like getting extra credit when you did the bare minimum.

Christmas Pretzel Wreaths

One of the easiest ways to decorate your home during the holiday season is by putting a Christmas wreath on it. So, of course these Christmas pretzel wreaths fit this list.

You line up some chocolate-dipped pretzels, adds some sprinkles, then pipe a red bow on them. They’re really cute and not that much work.

Candy Cane Chocolate Bark

Peppermint is a very popular Christmas flavor. But this candy cane chocolate bark doesn’t use peppermint extract to get its flavor. Nope. That all comes from the quintessential Christmas treat: candy canes. 

Crush those up and sprinkle them on top of melted chocolate for another easy, two-ingredient dessert. It’s the perfect quick recipe to make this busy holiday season.

Candy Cane Chocolate Hearts

Candy canes are in every store during the Christmas season. Pick up a box of mini ones, and some white chocolate, and you can make these adorable candy cane chocolate hearts.

If you get too busy and don’t get to make them for Christmas, just hold onto that box of candy canes for a couple weeks because these work for Valentine’s Day too.

Christmas Tree Meringue Cookies

These Christmas tree meringues look so festive on a cookie platter. And, I promise you, they’re a lot easier to make than they look — as long as you have a stand mixer.

Mix together egg whites with a couple other ingredients, stir in some green food coloring, and pipe them into a tree shape. Decorate with sprinkles (to look like ornaments and a star on top) and bake them.

Reindeer Pretzels

It’s so incredibly easy make these reindeer pretzels. They are a great treat for a beginner to make.

Pipe melted vanilla almond bark onto a pretzel, then add some candy eyes and a nose to make these look like Rudolph and his less popular reindeer frenemies.

Christmas Ornament Oreo Cookies

If you’re looking for an impressive cookie for your platter this year, make these Christmas ornament Oreo cookies.

You dip an Oreo cookie, then decorate it with any edible decorations you want to create your edible ornament. Brush a Rolo candy with edible glitter and attach it to the top to really sell it as an ornament.

Tri-Colored Christmas Bundt Cake

The secret to this tri-colored Christmas Bundt cake is that it’s made from boxed cake mix. A third of the mix is dyed red and another third is dyed green.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into a prepared Bundt pan, then bake. You can decorate with melted white chocolate and sprinkles, but the real showstopper is the colorful cake itself.

Reindeer Chocolate Bark

Reindeer chocolate bark is a really adorable Christmas treat. It’s easy to make too.

You melt two types of almond bark, swirl them together, and then add pretzel pieces, candy eyeballs, and sprinkles to make reindeer faces.

Sweet & Salty Slow Cooker Christmas Candy

This sweet and salty slow cooker Christmas candy is actually the treat I made with my mom this year, so it’s super special to me.

Peanuts, pretzels, caramel bits, and mini marshmallows are mixed together in a melted white chocolate, then dropped on parchment paper and topped with Christmas sprinkles before they cool and turn into a delicious treat that your friends will want the recipe for.

Reindeer Oreo Cookies

If you have room in your Christmas tin for another reindeer treat, make these Reindeer Oreo cookies.

Dip the cookies in chocolate, then decorate them with pretzels, candy eyes, and sprinkles to look like Rudolph and his friends.

Christmas Chocolate Nonpareils

These Christmas chocolate nonpareils look deceptively easy. All you’re doing is putting down sprinkles then piping melted chocolate onto them.

But, it takes a few attempts to work out the pressure you need to use because if you pipe too hard, the chocolate squeezes past the sprinkles and you end up with a mess. That’s fine. You can just eat those yourself. A delicious accident, if you will.

Melted Snowman Marshmallow Treats

One of my most requested holiday treats are these melted snowman marshmallow treats.

You mix mini marshmallows into melted white chocolate, then scoop blobs onto a baking mat. Top them with a marshmallow face (which you make yourself — much to my friend’s surprise when I brought some to her), pretzels and candies, which represent the melted snowman’s arms and buttons. He’s almost too cute to eat.
