    A fun collection of cheerful and festive Christmas cupcake decorating ideas to give your party table color and challenge your creativity this coming Christmas! These cupcakes are screaming Christmas spirit! You can really feel the holidays all around.

    I've been watching too much Sugar Rush episodes on Netflix lately and it inspired me to make this post. It awakens my suppressed sweet tooth and make me go bake all day and turn the house into a delightful smell of holiday treats.

    What base flavor can you use for Christmas cupcakes?

    You can go classic with vanilla and chocolate flavors. If time is of the essence go for the box kind or if you want it more exciting do everything from scratch. For a more 'Christmasy' feel, here are some other options you can go for:

    • eggnog
    • gingerbread
    • pistacchio, walnut, pecan
    • peppermint
    • red velvet
    • any flavor with fruity stuffing or jam filling

    Frosting, Icing, Cupcake Topper

    Christmas cupcake decorations are the show-stopper. You can make them as whimsical, fun or as crazy and over the top as you like. Red, white, green and gold are in if you think about any Christmas treat. A really fun activity with the kids or the whole family.

    • vanilla buttercream
    • cream cheese frosting
    • ganache
    • fondant
    • peppermint or any Christmas candies
    • pretzels, bread, macarons
    • marshmallows
    • meringue

    1. A good quality food mixer.
