Cute and Simple Christmas Treats for Kids

Making festive treats is such a fun way to prepare for Christmas with your little ones. I’ve always loved getting my kids involved in the kitchen this time of year — it’s basically an edible craft session!

The festive treats I’m sharing today are perfect for a little family togetherness and make such easy, crowd-pleasing desserts, perfect for a Christmas classroom party, cozy movie nights, or adding something special to the kids’ table this holiday season.

Below you’ll find 20 festive Christmas treats for kids from fellow mom bloggers who love making the season magical. From cookies and fudge to popcorn mix and brownies, these ideas are sure to bring plenty of joy (and a bit of chocolate!) to your family this Christmas.

Quick & Healthy Swaps for Food Dye Treats

I wanted to make a note on the green food dye here. Food dye is one of those ingredients that I try to be really mindful of with my kids. I know we currently live in a world where some things are unavoidable (and I do hope that changes soon!), but if you want to still create these festive treats and not use traditional food dye/coloring, there are other great options available to you that you can swap out to use for any of the recipes below.
