Writer's picture: GigiGigi

Ready to add some extra sweetness to your holiday season? A holiday cookie swap is the perfect way to share delicious treats, connect with friends, and leave with a variety of cookies that’ll make your holidays even more festive. The best part? You’ll get to enjoy 10 different types of cookies without baking them all yourself! If you’re looking for a fun and unique way to entertain this holiday season, a cookie swap is the perfect choice. 


1. Set the Ground Rules for Baking: The key to a successful cookie swap is having everyone bake the same number of cookies. Ask each guest to bake 10 dozen cookies (that’s just a couple of batches!) and wrap them by the dozen so they’re easy to swap. Make sure to clarify that store-bought cookies won’t cut it—homemade is the name of the game here! Stock up on holiday-themed cookie tins for wrapping your cookies in a festive way that’s perfect for gifting and swapping.

2. Create a Festive Atmosphere: Set the mood with holiday decorations and music. Think twinkling lights, holiday-scented candles, and a decorated tree where your guests can mingle, relax, and get into the spirit of the season. Decorate your space with Christmas garlands with lights to bring that cozy, festive vibe into your home. A festive atmosphere will make your swap feel extra special and memorable. 

3. Plan Some Savory Snacks and Drinks: After baking all those cookies, everyone might be in need of a break from sugar overload. Provide a spread of savory snacks, cheese platters, and a festive drink station with options like holiday cocktails with toppers, mulled wine, or punch. This will balance out all the sweet treats and keep the energy flowing throughout the party.

4. Organize the Swap: When your guests arrive with their cookies, have them display their creations on a decorated table. Make it fun by having everyone describe their cookie recipe or any fun holiday traditions that go along with them. When it’s time to swap, everyone takes home one dozen of each type of cookie, ensuring they leave with a festive assortment to enjoy over the holidays.

5. Send Guests Home with a Recipe Card: Add a special touch to your party by asking each guest to bring a recipe card for their cookie. That way, everyone can recreate their favorite treats at home. You could even create a little recipe booklet as a party favor—it's a thoughtful memento that your guests will appreciate long after the party ends.

Now that you know how to host the perfect holiday cookie swap, it’s time to gather your friends, roll up your sleeves, and get baking! Not only will you end up with an incredible variety of cookies, but you'll also create lasting holiday memories with the people you care about most.
