Christmas Cookie Exchange Party Pack

Love the idea of holiday cookies? This Christmas Cookie Exchange Party Pack is the best! Fun to organize with delicious recipes, too!

Cookie exchanges are one of the best parts of the holidays. With this printable pack, you’ll be able to plan, organize, and host the holiday event of the year!

Table of Contents

This holiday party pack is full of everything that you need to host a cookie swap. Not only will everyone get to share their cookie exchange recipe, but those who bring homemade cookies just might be declared the “best” of the best as well!

The reason these printables are great is that you can keep them small or use them for cookie exchange ideas for large groups, too.

Print out the Christmas Cookie exchange invitations and send them to all of your baking friends. Include the date and time on the invitations and put them in the mail!

Everyone will then bring their favorite cookies, along with the recipe card for others to make a copy of or take a picture of with their phones.

Designate three people to be the judges and have the taste test begin!

Creative Ways to Use These Printables

Host a neighborhood cookie exchange – Invite the neighbors over and see their baking skills!
Use this as an option for a COVID cookie exchange – Still not excited about meeting up in person? Mail these printables to family and friends and have everyone mail back their recipes. Even if you’re not together, it’s still possible to have fun.
Create a Christmas Cookie Exchange Book – Once everyone prints out and returns with their recipes, make copies and create recipe books for everyone.

Tips For Hosting A Holiday Party With Friends

Remember that it’s all about having fun! There may be cookies that you don’t care for, but the person who made it took time to bake from their heart. Try a nibble or not, and move along to the next.
Make sure you have napkins and milk on hand for crumbs and to quench all the thirst!
Purchase enough to-go boxes so everyone can fill up with cookies to take home. This makes the event last and spreads all the tasty fun for several days.

The rules of cookie swaps are simple. (but don’t worry – you can tweak it to whatever you’d like them to be!)

The biggest rule? The cookies have to be homemade. Nothing from a mix. Nothing from a box. And nothing that was bought ready-made from the store.

It’s always nice to hand out small gift or party favors and this being a cookie party, it’s a great idea to stick with the theme. Even if you’re using clear plastic bags to package your cookies, they’ll look great with some ribbon and these printable gift tags attached!

I would invite at least 8-10 people so that you can have a variety of cookies for everyone to try!
