The Best Christmas Snacks

For those who love Christmassy delights, you’ll love Christmas at Cadbury! With their festive afternoon tea, you can munch on chocolate brownies, warm scones, minced pies, rocky road muffins, and savoury treats!

Think that’s all? Think again! The beloved Santa’s Stage Show is back this Christmas! Enjoy a cosy day that’s filled with chocolate that the whole family will enjoy. Discover how Santa fits all the pressies in his sack and how he flies his sleigh in time for Christmas! He’ll also be joined by Jingle, his trusty elf, who is buckets full of festive fun, Christmas cheer and laughter! Psst…there will be a chocolatey treat for all the kids in the audience. 

Everyone loves pretzels, the salty treat that is oh so moreish. But a brilliant way to make them Christmassy is turning them into reindeer!

All you need to do is first get some pretzel sticks and dip them into melted chocolate – simple ingredients! Then, add some white sugar balls as eyes and use a black icing pen to make their pupils. For the nose, add some red sprinkles or a red M&M. Then grab a normal pretzel break it in half and add that to the dipped pretzel stick as reindeer antlers. It’s the perfect finger food for kids too!

Bite-size treats and delicious snacks in as easy as 1, 2, 3!

These are the perfect snacks to have on hand when you’re having all the family over or you’re holiday hosting! A sweet and indulgent treat that will leave everyone wanting more. You can make some dough or buy premade, then make it as cinnamony as you like and top it with some icing! To add that festive touch, maybe sprinkle some red and green sprinkles on top.

It could be your dessert centrepiece this festive season!

Need something that’s filling, tasty and full of melty cheese? These pull-apart rolls will be a real crowd-pleaser and one of many festive appetizers!

Buy a bunch of bread rolls and cut them all in half, then butter them, and add whichever cheese you’d like, whether it’s mozzarella, creamy brie, or blue cheese. Then sprinkle some fresh parsley on the cheese with some cayenne pepper to add some spice and flavour!

If you like to go all out with the festive theme, arrange the rolls in the shape of a Christmas tree! Once that’s done, put them in the oven on 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes (or until golden brown on top). Take them out, grab a roll, and watch that melty cheese stretch!

No one can resist some cheese-filled pull-apart rolls. It’s tasty, interactive and super fun – making it the perfect dinner nibbles at a festive gathering!

Everyone loves cookies, and you can’t go wrong with them!

To add the Christmas touch and fun twist to them, make some white icing and spread it across the biscuits. Then, grab some marshmallows and draw the snowman face with black and orange icing pens. Once this is done, stick the marshmallow on the white icing on the biscuit, draw their arms on and finally, use coloured icing to draw their scarf. And there you have your melting snowman cookies!

A delicious and adorable snack to munch on.

You can’t indulge in Christmas snacks without trying some gingerbread men. It’s a holiday tradition where you either make gingerbread men or decorate a gingerbread house – they make the perfect festive snacks!

Either buy them or make them from scratch and use any extra dough to cut them into fun shapes like reindeer, snowmen, etc. And then decorate them!

A simple and fun Christmas activity. They can even make adorable holiday gifts for those who love a sweet treat.

Brownies are not only delicious but easy to make and decorate! For those who have a sweet tooth, this is the festive treat for you.

Simply cut the brownies into Christmas trees with a cookie cutter and layer creamy green icing on top. Then add whatever sprinkles or edible sugar balls as baubles to decorate your indulgent Christmas tree brownies! To add some peppermint treats, break off a candy cane and stick a tiny piece at the bottom to make the Christmas tree stand.

Perfect for a holiday party and for a moreish dessert!

For Christmas morning, start the day off the day with a cute breakfast like pancakes. The perfect way to make your kids excited for the day (if they weren’t already!).

All you need is pancakes, strawberries or raspberries, chocolate chips, yoghurt and squirty cream. Place the pancakes on the plate, add two small dollops of yoghurt and two chocolate chips to make the eyes, and make a beard out of the cream. Now you’ve made Santa’s face!

Then cut a handful of strawberries in half and place them flat down to make the shape of Santa’s hat. After you’ve done that, use the rest of the cream to create the cotton-base look of Santa’s hat. And there you have it!

Rice Krispie treats are a sweet and moreish Christmas snack! You can easily make them into baubles, by mixing them with melted marshmallows, adding red and green sprinkles into the sticky mix and then moulding them into balls.

Then stick a mini marshmallow on top and add a small piece of strawberry lace as a ribbon loop. Finally, place them into cupcake cases and snack on them whenever you crave them!

Or maybe make the Rice Krispie treats into reindeer like the picture!

This is a great way to be healthy and get creative with your fresh fruit at Christmastime.

Grab yourself an assortment of seasonal fruits like apples, pears, oranges, grapes, kiwis and berries. Add some lemon juice, honey and cinnamon to taste and then toss everything together. The result? A delicious, healthy and colourful salad that tastes amazing!

If you want to make them really festive, layer slices of green apples or kiwis on top of each other to create a Christmas tree, then add some small berries or pomegranate seeds around to represent the baubles. Then carve a star out of mango or banana and add on top!

These candy canes are really easy to make and they’re so much fun to eat too! They’re made from rolled-up wafer sticks dipped in white chocolate and coated with rainbow sprinkles.

All you need to do is dip the wafers in melted chocolate and cover them with sprinkles. After you’ve finished dipping the wafers, set them aside in the fridge for about 20 minutes, so the chocolate hardens.

Once that’s done, you have yourself a wafer candy cane! Pop them into an airtight container and munch on them whenever you feel like!

Chocolate bark is a favourite of mine. It’s so easy to make and is a delicious treat everyone can enjoy this holiday season.

Just melt around 300g of melted chocolate, pour into a baking tray on parchment paper and add fruit, nuts, sprinkles, M&M’s or any of your favourite sweet treats. After you’ve added your toppings, just pop the tray into the fridge until it solidifies. Then cut it into pieces like bark and enjoy!
