30 Cute Christmas Desserts and More
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.
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 snowmen treats, the polar bears or cupcakes would be gorgeous too. I did make the Vanilla Candy Cane Cupcakes for her party one year.

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.
