Easy Christmas Treat Platters
It’s no secret that I love to bake, but I rarely give homemade baked goods out as gifts during the holidays. I receive so many delicious treat plates from friends during the holidays and can’t get through all of the treats before they go stale. I kind of assume others might feel the same way so I like gifting shelf-stable candies that can be enjoyed after the holidays like English toffee or my favorite store-bought goodies. This year I picked up some adorable tree platters and loaded them up with nuts, candies, and treats that can be enjoyed all month long or even after the holidays.
If you don’t enjoy baking or simply don’t have time with the hustle and bustle of the holiday season this is a great option– and still thoughtful and delicious.
Christmas Tree Serving Platter/Plates
I found these adorable tree platters/plates on Amazon. There are quite a few sites that sell them, some for as low as $1.50, but I haven’t ordered from those companies before and am not sure how long shipping would take. They are about 10″ tall and 7″ wide. The perfect size for gift giving. I especially love that they are divided which makes it easy to stack and separate the goodies. My kids like using them too! I ordered 6 of them and can’t wait to share these with friends this year. The best part is that they can re-use them.
No-Bake Christmas Treat Platter Ideas
Here is a list of everything that I included, but honestly the options are endless! I also plan on putting together a nut-free platter for a friend with food allergies and will fill the extra space with chocolates.
Chocolate-covered pretzels: will stay fresh for at least 2 weeks if stored in an airtight container, 1 week in the platter. Add these right before giving the platter as a gift.
Cadbury Mini Snowballs
Chocolate Almonds
Dove Chocolates
Bob’s Peppermints
Fudge Oreos
Mini Peppermint Oreos
Ghirardelli Mini Peppermint Bark Squares
Walkers Shortbread Cookies
Almond Roca
Peppermint Almonds
Junior Mints
Other ideas include nuts, sour candies, M&Ms, Reese’s Trees, dried fruit, holiday gummy candy, etc.
These cellophane bags are just the right size to slide the tree platers into. I secured the end with pom pom ribbon (from Home Goods). All that’s left to do is add a gift tag! I have a post with 60 free printable Christmas gift tags, but created my own for these platters. You can download them below.
