5 Easy Holiday Treats

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Waterloo chapter.

The holiday season is here and Christmas is just right around the corner! What better way to get in the spirit than whipping up some holiday treats for that annual Christmas party or for your friends and family! Or you could just make them for yourself; I won’t judge you if you eat them all. Here are some treats that I hope will make the holidays just a little bit more festive and delicious. Enjoy!

Who doesn’t love a good old fashioned chocolate brownie? The best part about this dessert is that you can make the brownies from scratch or if you’re in a rush you can grab some brownie mix and then ice them to look like mini trees! It’s all up to you but you are guaranteed to have a Christmas party ready dessert in no time.

A sugar cookie is a classic treat and always a favourite. They are also super easy and quick to make and there are thousands of ways to decorate them! The best part about these cookies is the simplicity in the reindeers, which is actually what makes the cookies look so unique and taste so delicious.

These are perfect if you’re in a rush because you literally just need some marshmallows, chocolate, and sprinkles! You can also pop the non-dipped ends on sticks and wrap them in cute little plastic bags with bows to make a great homemade gift or stocking filler.

If you’ve got a little more time on your hands and are looking for something different but still easy, this is a great recipe to follow. Doesn’t a cookie that’s dipped in white chocolate and covered in coconut sound divine? The coconut shavings add a beautiful touch to the cookies as well, making them look so much more wintery!
