A Very Retro Christmas Countdown - Day 12
It's Day 12
Today we’re throwing it back to the days when Christmas treats were simple, messy, and made with tiny helpers in footie pajamas.
Because yes — fancy desserts are cute…
but nothing beats holiday treats the kids can whip up with you in 10 minutes, with sprinkles everywhere and memories baked right in.
So for Day 12, I gathered a few of my favorite kid-friendly Christmas treats that are:
✨ easy
✨ quick
✨ no-stress
✨ barely require measuring
✨ and taste like pure holiday joy

👉 Fun Christmas Treats to Make With the Kids
Growing up, the “Christmas baking day” wasn’t about perfection (or clean counters).
It was about:
• licking the beaters
• stirring with two hands
• dumping in WAY too many sprinkles
• and wearing an apron three sizes too big
And honestly?
Those are still the moments kids remember.
So today — give yourself permission to make something FUN instead of fancy.
Personally, I'm thinking the tortilla snowflakes might be what's happening at our house. How about you?
👩🍳 Holiday Baking Tip: Never try to beat eggs whites that have a little yolk in them. It just won't work. Save yourself the time and aggravation and start over.
