How to Set Out Cookies for Santa
Making Christmas cookies is only half the fun—don’t forget to set them out for Santa in style! Here are some tips for creating a magical display:
- Choose the Perfect Plate
Use a festive plate or platter to arrange the cookies. Bonus points for using a holiday-themed plate. I like this plate + milk jar set with Dear Santa note pad or the traditional Santa plate from Lenox. - Add a Note
Have your kids write a little note to Santa, thanking him for the gifts and letting him know they baked the cookies just for him. Have them sign their names too! - Don’t Forget the Milk
Santa loves a cold glass of milk to wash down the cookies! Use a fun Christmas-themed glass like this to add an extra touch. - Include a Treat for the Reindeer
A few carrot sticks or oats in a small bowl will keep the reindeer fueled for their long night. - Get Creative with Presentation
Add a few sprigs of holly, sugared rosemary, or evergreens around the plate for a magical touch. Learn to make sugared rosemary here!
