34 Christmas Snacks Ideas
Christmas is a time where we want to spend time with our family and friends. We also want to enjoy our time as much as possible!
So, how do we do that? We prepare everything in advance. We prepare the gifts, the snacks, and the drinks.
If you don’t have time to prepare, you can always buy the snacks from the store, but this way you won’t personalize your snacks.
So, if you want to prepare everything in advance, you can start with the snacks.
Here are some Christmas snacks ideas that you can prepare in advance.
1. Santa Hat Brownies
These Santa hat brownies are the perfect festive addition to your holiday dessert table.
They’re made with a rich chocolate base, a fluffy cream cheese frosting, and a sweet strawberry to top it all off.
2. Christmas Tree Snack Cakes
These little snacks are so cute and the best part is, they are so easy to make! You can make as many or as few as you need and they whip up in just a few minutes.
All you need is a box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Snack Cakes and some candy melts.
Melt the candy and dip the snack cakes into the candy. Sprinkle on some Christmas sprinkles and let them set up.
You can also use this same method to make cake pops! Use a cookie scoop to form the balls and then dip them in the candy.
3. Christmas Tree Brownies
Brownies are a classic chocolatey treat that are perfect for any occasion.
But, did you know you can add a festive twist to them by
cutting them into triangles and adding frosting and sprinkles to make them look like Christmas trees?
Not only are these brownies incredibly easy to make,
they’re also a fun holiday activity to do with your kids or even a fun and creative way to serve up a classic Christmas dessert at your next holiday party.
4. Santa Hat Cupcakes
Get the recipe from Sugar & Soul.
These Santa hat cupcakes are perfect for when you want to bake something festive, but don’t want to spend a ton of time on it.
5. Snowman Cheese Sticks
Who says cheese sticks have to be boring? These snowman cheese sticks are a fun way to get your kids to eat a healthy snack!
Just use a permanent marker to draw on the snowman face and buttons. Then use a mini top hat and a small piece of carrot to finish off the snowman look.
You can also use a small piece of black felt or construction paper for the hat if you don’t have mini top hats.
6. Reindeer Brownies
These reindeer brownies are a fun and easy treat to make with the kids. You can make your brownies from scratch or use a boxed brownie mix.
All you need is a bag of pretzels, candy eyes, and red m&m’s to make the reindeer face.
If you are short on time, you can even use store-bought brownies for a quick and easy dessert.
7. Grinch Fruit Kabobs
These Grinch Fruit Kabobs by Mommy Musings are a fun and healthy treat to have on hand at your next holiday party.
I love how festive and easy they are to make! You can also use any of your favorite fruits for this recipe.
8. Santa Fruit Skewers

They are perfect for a Christmas party or just a fun snack for the kids.

9. Santa Claus Crackers
This is the perfect snack to make with the kids. It’s easy, fun, and so tasty!
To make Santa Claus Crackers, you’ll need square buttery crackers, white chocolate, red sugar sprinkles, and candy eyes.
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Dip the top of the cracker into the white chocolate and then sprinkle the red sugar on top.
Place the candy eyes onto the white chocolate and let set.
That’s it! Enjoy your Santa Claus Crackers.
10. Grinch Fruit Snacks
We love a good fruit snack around here, and this one is just so fun for Christmas!
I love that it’s so simple and easy to make, and you can customize it with whatever fruit you have on hand or that your kiddos like.
I used strawberries, bananas, grapes, and mini marshmallows to make mine, but you could also use kiwi, green apples, or honeydew.
I used a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the strawberries into hearts, but you could also just slice the strawberries if you don’t have a cookie cutter.
To make these, just thread the fruit and marshmallows onto a small skewer and serve.
You could also use a toothpick to make them into single-serve snacks if you prefer!
