My giant list of 40+ Easy No Bake Christmas Treats includes cookies, bars, candies and desserts — because sometimes you just don’t have time to bake! Easy holiday recipes for everyone, even if you’re a beginner in the kitchen.
Now, I love baking as much as the next person. Especially Christmas baking. But there are times when you gotta go the no bake route.
I love having a slew of options for easy Christmas treats that I can whip up when the holidays come around and it seems like you need to bring a dozen boxes of cookies every time you leave the house.
Holiday baking can be a little overwhelming sometimes with everything else that we have going on. Concerts, parties, family dinners and gatherings, school obligations, church obligations — it’s a crazy time!
Here are some of our favorite easy Christmas treats for your holiday cookie boxes and dinner tables, including cookies, candies, bars, bark and, well, pretty much everything you could ever want for Christmas!
