If you’re looking for a simple, festive-looking recipe that everyone can enjoy, look no further than these Oreo cake balls. Oreos, cream cheese and chocolate melts are all you’ll need to whip up these addictive bite-sized snacks.

While we’re on the topics of no-bake cake recipes, these chocolate snowman cake pops are both cute and delicious. You may think that no-bake recipes eliminate anything that involves flour, as it needs to be heat-treated to eat safely. Almond flour, however, is a great substitute for a no-bake treat. All you’ll need for this healthier dessert recipe is almond flour, cacao powder, greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract and melted white chocolate. Use black frosting to pipe on a happy face and some buttons, and add a Santa hat to complete your snowman!

Don’t you just love how TikTok never fails to include all ingredients and instructions in a 30 second video? This cherry cheesecake dip is designed to have graham crackers be dipped into the creamy, cherry goodness, but it can also be made with a graham cracker crust underneath the filling for a more traditional cheesecake recipe. You can also interchange the cherry pie filling for your filling of choice, but cherry is definitely the most festive option.

If you’re comfortable with turning on the stove to bake this holiday season, give these Christmas tree-shaped Rice Krispie Treats a try. The triangle shapes are simple to achieve if you begin with a circle shape and proceed to cut slices like a pizza. Make sure to use green food coloring for the tree color, add some colorful sprinkles for ornaments and pipe on some white frosting for the impression of string lights!

Reindeer food, anyone? This treat is not only filled with peanut butter and chocolate deliciousness, but is also a clever idea to leave out with Santa’s cookies for his reindeer on Christmas Eve. Rice Chex cereal and pretzel sticks are the base of this recipe, with melted chocolate and peanut butter binding it together. Finish off by mixing in some powdered sugar to make the mixture less sticky, and top with M&M'S and mini peanut butter cups! Make sure to tell the kiddos that unlike dogs, it’s okay for reindeer to have chocolate.

Baking cookies is a core part of the holiday season, and there are little ways to avoid using your oven to enjoy this part of Christmas. However, these no-bake thin mint-inspired cookies are made with Ritz crackers (yep, you heard me right) for a crunchy, minty treat. Simply head to your local grocery store to grab some Andes baking chips, Ritz crackers and colorful sprinkles for a great cookie alternative.

It doesn’t get more Christmassy than eggnog, so why not put it into a pie? Ingredients like pudding mix, cool whip, pre-baked pie crust and eggnog, of course, make up this creamy recipe that is bound to wow your loved ones at your next holiday party. If you don’t love the sometimes bitter flavor of eggnog, add vanilla eggnog for an extra hint of sweetness in this pie.

We couldn’t conclude this list without a fudge recipe, and this one has only three ingredients! One can of sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips and colorful sprinkles make up this festive fudge that you can enjoy while watching your favorite holiday movie.
