Since Christmas is a time of celebration with family and friends, it should surprise no one that food plays a critical role. Sure you may have a turkey or ham at the center along with delectable sides like mashed potatoes. But you also have a tone of desserts like pie, cake, cookies, and others. Let’s just say, this is a big holiday for food. So much so, that January is usually a month when fitness companies and gyms try to cash in on people’s New Year’s resolutions. In the last two years, I’ve created Christmas treat posts to show all the unique food items you might see on a yuletide table. Yet, these usually contain Christmas motifs like Santas and snowflakes. And I plan to do so again for this year since there are so many things you can find on Pinterest. So for your holiday reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of Christmas goodies for your heart’s desire.
- Grace your Christmas platter this year with this wreath veggie tray.
I put one of these in a post 2 years ago. Yet, this one contains carrots, peppers, and cucumbers.
2. A Christmas wreath snack platter is especially cheesy.
Well, it has a few kinds of cheese plus olives. Gives the wreath a little more color doesn’t it?
3. You’ve heard of the cookie gingerbread man. But have you’ve seen gingerbread cookie sticks?
Yes, they’re iced as gingerbread men. Yet, they’re convenient for on the road. Enjoy.
4. These Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer cookies make a tasty snack.
All it takes are vanilla wafers, pretzels, and chocolate. Yet, these do look adorable enough to eat, don’t they?
5. Instead of a Christmas candle on your dessert platter, how about a Christmas candle cake?
Don’t worry, the candle part is at the top which isn’t edible anyway. But I do like the holly leaves and berries.
6. Ever imagined having a cake with a Christmas tree inside?
This one does and it’s chocolate, too. How they do this is beyond me.
7. There’s nothing more jolly this Christmas than these Santa Claus cookies.
And yes, they have the big guy in the red suit and hat. Love the icing beard and chocolate chip eyes.
8. These bauble cake pops are a great addition for a yuletide dessert platter.
These are in red, white, and gold. But they come in so many different designs and aren’t as hard to make as others.
9. You can make Rudolph brownies in a square pan.
In fact, it’s preferred that way since these are triangle shaped. Also add pretzel antlers and M&M noses.
10. These nutcracker cupcake cakes are ideal for any little soldier.
And they don’t seem to take many cupcakes to assemble either. Uniforms come in 3 different colors.
11. You can’t have Christmas without a cake of the nativity scene.
This one has the Holy Family and the Star of Bethlehem on top. While the town of Bethlehem is on a lower tier as well as the shadows of shepherds and wise men. Yet, all the cake is iced dark to resemble night.
12. This snowflake cinnamon bread is said to be a real winter treat.
Last year, I showed bread like this shaped like a Christmas tree. This year I bring you a snowflake, which I actually like better.
13. You can always use ice cream cones and Kit Kats to make a gingerbread village.
However, don’t neglect to decorate it with icing and M&Ms. Now that’s a town that’s good enough to eat.
14. A box of Christmas cake balls is guaranteed to bring you yuletide cheer.
And such a big box it is that it makes these cake pops resemble iced chocolates. Then again, at least some might have chocolate cake filling.

There are also some nuts in the middle if you don’t care for the 5 cheese here. At any rate, it’s a clever display for appetizers.
16. You’ll never know what you’ll open with these gift wrapped Oreos.
Actually, you probably will since they’re covered Oreos. But I really love the bows on these.
17. Fans of the Grinch will surely take to these Whoville cookies.
They’re cookies made from a roll that’s green and red with sprinkles on the edge. Not sure if they’re made from scratch but I’ll add them to this post.
18. Speaking of the Grinch, check out these Christmas cupcakes.
These almost could be taken for Santa cupcakes. Except for the fact that they’re green with yellow eyes beneath the Santa hat.
19. For a simple Christmas snack, may I suggest pretzel presents?
All they require is to paint chocolate at the top and have a bow made of M&Ms. Or icing, if you prefer that.
20. Arrange your ham, cheese, crackers, and veggies in this appetizer platter Christmas tree.
Two years ago, I had a similar platter that included just cheese and veggies. This one includes ham and crackers, too.
21. These bauble cupcakes are guaranteed to bring you Christmas cheer.
After all, they’re easier to decorate since they’re round. And you can customize them however you’d like.

Some of the wreath is decorated with candy holly leaves and berries. Yet, it’s all topped with a fruit roll up bow.
23. Let your dessert platter shine with this Christmas tree cake front and center.
Though this is my 3rd Christmas treat post, I haven’t included a Christmas tree cake like this before. Yet, I do love how it’s decked with lights.
24. This gingerbread village was made possible by Hershey’s.
Yes, these houses are made from Hershey’s chocolate. Yet, they still look good enough for a chocolate lover to devour.

Each of them comes with candy cane antlers and a red gum drop nose. So adorable.

Also includes cherry tomatoes and olives. All in all, this is great for a Christmas cocktail party.
28. From the North Pole, this Mrs. Claus cake is a Christmas delight.
This one uses a doll and has her holding a tray with cookies. Nevertheless, I think this is adorable.
