Do you like making cute Christmas desserts? We have done many over the years and they are fun to make. This is why I have for you 30 Cute Christmas Desserts and More! We have lots to show you and have also added in a few fun crafts too!!
People are gathering together with their family and friends and some of us have taken time off of work and the kids are out of school. This is the perfect time to get together to make some holiday treats!!
Also, you might be wanting some easy Christmas dessert recipes for a crowd. Make up a few of these and serve them on a platter. The kids will love them and you will be happy to serve them too. Even adding in one or two cute desserts really livens up your tray and makes it so festive. I would have as a standard our Best Ever Fruitcake Cookies too, they are always a hit.
Cute Christmas Dessert Recipes
A lot of these ideas and recipes are very easy. Quite a few lend themselves to edible crafts which are always fun to do. I have divided them up into four sections, Cookies, Cupcakes & Brownies, Other Sweets, and Crafts.
These treats would be great for any kind of holiday party. Our daughter is born in December so my theme for years was snowman treats, the polar bears or cupcakes would be gorgeous too. I did make the Vanilla Candy Cane Cupcakes for her party one year.
COOKIES
Sweet treats you love to eat. Some of the recipes are simple others more difficult but all of them are adorable. From candy canes to sugar cookies all of these recipes will be your best Christmas desserts.
Add one or more of these to your cookie platters to have some fun. For sure people will be commenting on them and enjoying them.
And I have to mention the Mini Gingerbread House Mug Topper Cookies, they are one of my faves for sure. I could see the smiles appearing as someone enjoyed hanging these off a cup of cocoa, tea, or coffee.

Talk about 30 cute Christmas desserts! These are spectacular, and I am not sure I can pick just a couple favorites. I really love the different types of reindeer ideas you have shared. The snowflakes are so pretty, and I also love the snowmen. I could go on and on. I hope to make just a few of these for this holiday season.

There are so many cute ideas. Some of my favorites were the polar bears, the string of lights on the circular cookies and the reindeer. Any of these would be great for a cookie exchange.
