Holiday Christmas Cookies & Sweets Recipes to Share

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and now the holiday season moves quickly into Christmas. Whether you’re ready or not, it’s time to start planning Christmas cookies and festive treats. To make holiday planning easier, here is a curated collection of my favorite Christmas cookies, desserts, and sweets all in one place. Save this page for quick reference throughout the season — I’ll update it with new recipes as they’re posted.

All the recipes below are from Happy Healthy Mama. You’ll find a variety of options to suit different dietary needs, which I’ve noted. When a recipe isn’t labeled gluten-free, I typically use whole wheat pastry flour. If you can’t find whole wheat pastry flour or prefer not to use it, unbleached all-purpose flour works as a 1:1 substitute.

Enjoy this collection and happy baking!
