Aren’t these Santa Hat Brownies adorable? They are fun and simple holiday treats that look super festive on the dessert table at your Christmas party.

Feel free to use ready-made brownies or your favorite homemade recipe for the brownie base, then top each one with a few swirls of vanilla mascarpone buttercream and a fresh strawberry.

7. Cheese Reindeer 

From Cute Food for Kids

I love finding creative ways to serve traditional snacks at holiday get togethers. These super easy cheese reindeer hit the mark.

Create adorable Rudolph faces using a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese, two twisted pretzels, a little bit of olive and roasted red pepper.

They only take a few minutes to make and add a whole new level of fun to your snack spread.

8. Santa’s Belly Cookies 

From The Country Chic Cottage 

With the overwhelming number of holiday parties coming up, I am on the hunt for quick and easy Christmas themed treats. These Santa’s Belly Cookies had to be included! Follow three simple steps with three simple ingredients to make them yourself.

Winter Oreo cookies are separated and then decorated with a stripe of black gel icing and some sugar pearl sprinkles.

9. Santa’s Boot 

From Cute Food for Kids

The kids at your Christmas party will definitely go crazy for these awesome Hot Dog Stockings. One wiener dog can turn into a pair of stockings with a few expert cuts and some cream cheese decorations.

Add a skewer to each stocking and poke into a foam block for a tasty and festive treat. Don’t forget to serve them with some ketchup or mustard for dipping.

10. Nutter Butter Reindeer

Nutter Butters turn out to be the perfect base for these cute candy reindeer from Family Circle.

Nutter Butter cookies get dipped in milk chocolate then decorated with pretzel antlers, candy eyes, and Rudolph noses made with red peanut butter M&M’s.

They make adorable gifts wrapped with a little bit of cellophane and a festive ribbon bow.
