5 Fun Holiday Activities for the Whole Family (Using Organic, Gluten-Free Cookies)

‘Tis the season to snack, decorate, and indulge—without the hassle! Our organic, gluten-free cookies are here to help you do all of the above. Whether you're decking out cookies, dunking in cocoa, or building a cookie sandwich empire, these treats make everything a little sweeter (and a lot easier). Let the holiday snacking begin!

1. No-Bake Christmas Cookie Decorating

What’s better than decorating cookies with your pals or family while your favorite holiday movie plays in the background? Nothing! That’s what! But it’s even more fun when you can skip the baking and get straight to decorating. Don’t worry, we’ve done the first part for you! Just pop open a box or three of your favorite Steve & Andy’s cookies. Then all you’ll need is icing, homemade or store-bought will do just fine, sprinkles, edible glitter, or whatever decorations peak your Xmas cheer meter. Knock out some ornament baubles, snowflakes, or even a jolly-faced Santa! There’s no wrong way to dress up your cookies, so let the ideas flow.

 

 

2. Cookies for Santa Placemats

Here’s an easy family-friendly craft for when you leave out your Steve & Andy’s cookies for Santa: draw him an instructional placemat! After all, how else will the Big Guy know he’s been treated to organic, gluten-free, NON-GMO quality treats? Grab paper, markers, crayons, or colored pencils and let the creative juices take over.

 

3. Make a Cookie-Cuterie Board

The viral snackboard trend—but make it cookies.
Think charcuterie board, but using prepackaged cookies instead of meats and cheeses, with various delicious dips for dunking! Hungry yet? Us too. For the full sampler experience, round up all five of our delicious flavors. To add festive flair, pipe a frosting centerpiece in a holiday shape, like a Christmas tree or Santa face!

Dip Options:

• A Frosting Centerpiece
• Peanut Butter
• Nutella
• Marshmallow Topping
• Melted Chocolate

 

4. Cookie & Cocoa Tasting

Add some festive originality to your next gathering with a cookie cocoa tasting! Set up a mini taste-testing station with a sampler of hot chocolate flavors—dark chocolate, white chocolate, peppermint, or even salted caramel! Or throw in wild cards like a hot matcha late, or strawberry milk! Take turns dunking cookies into the different cocoa types and vote for which pairing works best. Overachievers can even make little rating cards. For an added challenge, make it a blind taste test where the cookie dunkers can only guess which cookie they’re dipping! This one gets everyone talking and debating over the great unifier of loving sweets.

 

5. DIY Cookie Sandwich Bar

Another activity that sparks instant happiness is a DIY cookie sandwich station with Steve & Andy’s cookies and all the fixings. Set out bowls of frosting, whipped cream, jam, chocolate spread, or fruits like sliced strawberries and bananas. Everyone can assemble individual cookie sandwiches with their choice of fillings. This is a fun, easy way to let guests create something personalized, and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
