No-bake Christmas treats are desserts that come together without the oven. While some require stovetop or microwave, many don't involve cooking at all. For that reason, these treats are quick, simple and easy to make on the sidelines while your oven is doing other important work, like cooking Christmas dinner!

Our festive no-bake treats range from fruit Santa hats and marshmallow snowmen to ornament cookies, fudge, and more! They're guaranteed to impress your guests and add cheer to your table.
