Cake on a stick may not be the first dessert that comes to mind during the holiday season, but these Christmas cake pop recipes are adorable and tasty enough to become a Christmas tradition.
The naturally round shape of a cake pop is perfect for recreating snowmen, rosy-cheeked Santa faces and even reindeer heads. With a little shaping, basic cake batter can be turned into hot chocolate mugs with handles, mittens or even a festive stocking.
Christmas cake pops make fantastic additions to holiday celebrations and party favors. When there’s so much good food around during the holiday season, just a small bite of cake is a great way to sate a sweet tooth without over-indulging.
