Christmas Cookie Display Ideas

If you know me, then you know I love to bake. And Christmas cookies are my absolutely favorite thing to make! I am all about a good Christmas sugar cookie. So I thought today it would be fun to share all my Christmas cookie display ideas too.

Not only do I love baking homemade cookies, but I also love putting them on a display too. That way, if you’re hosting this holiday season, you have plenty of ideas on how to display all kinds of different cookies this year. 

Or, if you want to specifically host a Christmas cookie exchange, I think these ideas would be just perfect for that! Who wouldn’t want to go home with a variety of holiday cookies along with cookie recipes to go with them too?!

And, even if you want to use store bought cookies to make it a little easier on you this year, you could still use all these display ideas for those as well! So keep on reading for some great Christmas cookie inspiration!

Vintage Santa And Iced Christmas Sugar Cookies

This post also contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission off anything you purchase through here, at no additional cost to you. Please read my full disclosure policy for more details.

Displaying Cut-Out Cookies

As I mentioned above, sugar cutout cookies are my absolute favorite kind of Christmas cookie! I mean does it get any better than sugar cookies topped off with royal icing?! I think not.

And I think these cookies are so easy to display because they are just so beautiful on their own. Each one is a little work of art, and they all look perfect displayed on a cookie platter or serving tray!

Iced Sugar Cookies on Tray

I also love how you can make these cookies to your own color scheme too. Whether you want iced red and green traditional cookies, or something a little more modern, the choice is yours! Depending on the size of your cookie shapes, you can decide just how to line them up on a display table or stand. 

Christmas Cookie Charcuterie Board
For this display, I also included my yummy Southern Egg Custard Pie on the board too! So don’t be afraid to incorporate different desserts onto your displays too!

My trick is to save the really pretty iced cookies and place them on the very top of your cookie board. That way, everyone will see those first and it makes for a killer display. You can also display these cookies at varying heights, placing some on a tray and some elevated up on some cake stands too!

And cut-out cookies aren’t just for Christmas! I make these for Easter and even Halloween too! You can really make them anytime of the year!

Displaying Gingerbread Cookies 

Another one of my favorite Christmas cookies to make are homemade gingerbread cookies! Again, you can ice and decorate these to whatever your heart desires! I also love displaying these cookies next to a gingerbread house! How fun is that?!

If I have gingerbread houses made, I usually display them on my bar in the kitchen. So then, it is easy to add in a tray full of yummy gingerbread cookies next to them too. That way, you can easily snag one (or two) when you’re walking by.

Gingerbread Cookies

And here’s a tip, if you already have your cookies displayed on a tray and don’t want to move them into an airtight container just yet, then simply place a sheet of plastic wrap on top. It’s a great way to have everything displayed and ready to go (especially if you’re hosting). And you can easily peel the plastic wrap off right before your guest arrive too.

I have a great recipe for gingerbread cookies and even more cookies that I shared a few years ago on my blog. Be sure to check out My Top 5 Christmas Cookies That I Bake Every Year too!

Decorating Gingerbread Houses

Christmas Cookie Display Accessories 

There are a number of different things I like to display along with the variety of cookies I make. For example, I like to display some faux candy canes when featuring my chocolate fudge cookies with candy cane buttercream! It goes hand in hand!

Peppermint Cookies

But also, I love to display non food related items too. Like for example, I will have just a tray full of vintage goodies styled next to a plate full of cookies. Or I will display a vintage rolling pin with some finished cookies too. 

Christmas Sprinkle Cookie Display

Another thing I do is if I use white chocolate chips, fun sprinkles, or dark chocolate chips, I’ll have little bowls full of them displayed next to the cookies too. And I like to use seasonal bowls, mugs, plates, etc. to keep up with the holiday theme. If you’re hosting for a cookie exchange party, make sure to have serving utensils displayed next to the cookies too. It’s both practical and functional!

Heath Cookies

Lastly, I also love to pair up my finished holiday desserts with a candle. And again, if you know me, then you know it’s gotta be an Antique Candle Co candle! They have the perfect holiday scents to go along with all the different types of cookies.

Christmas Cookie and Candle Display

For example, their homemade gingerbread candle is perfect to display with gingerbread cookies. And, their peppermint candle is great with the chocolate fudge cookie with candy cane buttercream like I mentioned above too. And, they even have a plain sugar cookie candle as well. So there are a ton of options to pair your favorite candle with your favorite cookie too! And you can use my code “MACEDONIA20” to get 20% off any candle too!

Enjoy Your Cookie Displays!

If you’re ready to take your holiday party to the next level this year, I hope you take some of my ideas into consideration! Or just keep it simple with a plain ol Christmas cookie tray! Really, anything will do and it’s just fun to make things a little more festive this time of year, don’t you think?

Pin for later!

I hope your Christmas season is filled with lots of cookies this year! I know mine will be! There’s nothing like baking and decorating some cookies to get you in the holiday spirit! Do you like to display your cookies once they’re baked too?! If so, let me know how you do it below too!
