12 Cutest Christmas Cupcakes

Christmas (and Christmas parties!) are just around the corner and your parties couldn’t possibly be complete without desserts. Well, do cupcakes sound like a good idea? If so, here are some of the cutest Christmas cupcakes to share with your family and friends!

Christmas Trees

The detailed and intricate icing on this cupcake would probably take forever to do, but doesn’t it just look beautiful (and delectable)?

These swirly trees are much easier to create, but just as cute!

Reindeer

These little reindeer are just adorable with the chocolate leaf antlers~

Pretzel antlers give a nice saltiness to the sweet cupcake.

A rotund and cute reindeer will surely make your guests go “Aww!”

These Clarice and Rudolph cupcakes are the perfect tribute to the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer stop-motion TV special. Make these and it’s a perfect Christmas movie night~

Santa

Marshmallow-bearded Santas are great alternatives to cookies left for Santa~

Elf

Santa wouldn’t be able to pull the ultimate miracle without one of these adorable helpers at his side! Make a bunch of these to help him (and keep him company)!

North Pole

Just in case your guests need help remembering where Santa lives, stick this cupcake between the Santa cupcake and his Elves.

Grinch

Not a helper of Santa? Make these to express your distaste for all things Christmas! Or as a great companion to the movie How the Grinch Saved Christmas!

Snowmen

The chewy, candy earmuffs are too awesome to eat, don’t you think?

If you can’t make snowmen outside yet, make these little stand-ins to really feel that winter spirit!

Holly

Isn’t “Holly Kitty” adorable? I love her hair bow~

These holly wreath cupcakes are simply designed, but still really cute!

Snowflakes

Pretty crystal snowflakes adorn these little cupcakes~

Presents

The ribbons on these cupcakes looks nicer than the bows I tie…

Penguins

Just because they live on the opposite side of the world, doesn’t mean this little penguin can’t get into the Christmas spirit!

Adorable penguins just chilling for Santa to come…

And if you want to say something Christmasy too:

HO HO HO

Perfect for getting your family and friends into the Christmas spirit!

For your “naughty” family and friends though, this should suffice:

Coal

They should consider themselves lucky, since they still get to eat a yummy cupcake!
