Why it works as a party game

It is a craft with a winner. Christmas party games that end in dessert do not need a second pitch.

How to play

  1. One cookie per player, 12 minutes, shared toppings.
  2. Hands off at the timer.
  3. Vote: prettiest, funniest, most festive.
  4. Eat. Do not save them as ornaments.

Hosting tips

  • Put names on plates, not on the cookies, before the vote.
  • Allergy labels on toppings.
  • A kids' table with only sprinkles.
