Head to your local Dollar Tree or any dollar store and pick up a simple white plate or the cute decorated plates always available in December (sometimes starting in October, seriously). These make a perfect canvas for your creativity and are budget-friendly too! Designing the Santa Plate Time to get creative! You and the little ones can create labels saying ‘Merry Christmas’ or ‘Cookies for Santa’. Some of the more inventive might want to draw some pictures for Santa — or write him a thank you note. Let their imaginations go. Plus they’ll be distracted for a while with just a few craft supplies. Creating Your Own Personalized Cookies Now for the fun part! Bake some Christmas cookies to go on your plate. You can even make your own personalized cookies shaped like Santa’s treats or anything that brings the holiday spirit to your home! Of course, Santa’s helpers are going to need some super power to get everything ready for a happy and bright Christmas morning. Choose your favorites. Wink, wink. The Final Touch: A Drink Don’t forget the glass of milk — or our favorite: White Chocolate Peppermint Latte! Santa and his helpers will surely appreciate a yummy drink to wash down the yummy cookies. Place it next to your Santa plate for a complete Christmas Eve setup. Starting a New Christmas Tradition Your easy DIY Santa cookie plate is ready! Not only is it a cute addition to your Christmas home decor, but it’s also a great way to start a new Christmas tradition.

With this level of care, you can enjoy your Santa cookie plate year after year. Enjoy the Magic of Christmas Morning Now, all that’s left is to enjoy the magic of Christmas morning.
