‘Tis the season! We are all looking forward to snuggling up in our comforters and nestling up with those we love. What addition could make it feel even more wonderful than having a scrumptious treat on hand? Isn’t it the best feeling to have a warm treat while appreciating the white, snowy scenery outside? Read on to find out what Christmas snacks we recommend foodies this year! 

1. Melted Snowmen Biscuits

Are you creative and good with your hands? Do you want to make something fun and adorably delicious out of a Christmas snack? Behold – the “build-a-snowman” – create your own melted snowman sugar cookies! This treat allows you to satisfy your cookie craving as well as your sweet tooth. It is also a great project for youngsters to create their own snowman character cookie by personalizing them with candy they like! They will certainly be a bright addition to your treat plates this year. 

2. Fancy Hot Chocolate Bombs

Hot chocolate bombs are the trend to making stylish and aesthetic drinks suited to your liking. Watching one deliciously dissolve in a mug of steaming milk promises a creamy and aromatic sip of warmth amid the chilly winter. Customize your favourite hot chocolate drink – whether it is with mint powder, a pinch of cinnamon or a spoonful of caramel, brew your cozy drink and watch it melt into perfection! It is the perfect choice during a late-night television marathon! 

3. Snowman Meringue Cookies

These crunchy and cartoony snowmen would just make your treat boxes and gifts just a bit more intriguing! Meringue snowmen are festive and easy to make, only requiring simple ingredients. With the same ingredients, you can create some of your favourite holiday characters using different shapes and decorations too! The only issue is – they may be too cute to bite into! 

4. Christmas Bundt Cake

Here comes something family-sized – the Christmas bundt cake. Cut into a moist and tender cake with a classy layer of cream cheese frosting with festive sprinkle decorations. It will make your holiday table much more inviting and homely! A fragrant orange and cinnamon scented syrup is recommended but no doubt you may adjust the flavour to your preferences! 

5. Christmas Tree Brownies

Aha – the classic Christmas snack – the brownie, with a colourful twist! Christmas trees are the icon of the season, so what better way to celebrate than having a striking and scrumptiously-made dessert of such a tree? Coated with a layer of sugary frosting, making these Christmas tree brownies involves simple instructions and requires little experience in the kitchen, fitting for amateur bakers looking for a simple project to bring to the table.
