Mama, if you’re anything like me, you’re always on the hunt for simple, festive ways to make Christmas a little extra special — especially for the kids. The holidays are such a magical time, and there’s nothing better than gathering around the table with frosting, sprinkles, and laughter filling the air.
That’s exactly why I love making Christmas Globe Cookies! These adorable treats look like tiny snow globes, complete with winter wonderland scenes inside. They’re easy enough for kids to help with, fun to decorate, and absolutely beautiful when finished.
Whether you’re hosting a Christmas cookie exchange, looking for a new baking tradition, or just trying to keep the kids entertained during winter break, these Christmas Globe Cookies are the perfect mix of creative and delicious.

How to make Christmas Globe Cookies : a step by step guide
1. Prepare Your Cookies
Make a batch of your favorite cookies — or if you’re short on time, grab a box of store-bought sugar cookies. Let them cool completely before decorating.
2. Add the Icing
Spread a layer of white icing over each cookie. This will be your snowy base, so don’t be shy! You can use a butter knife or piping bag for a smooth finish.
3. Decorate Your Winter Scene
Now the fun part! Add your edible icing decorations — little Christmas trees, Santa faces, or snowmen. Let your creativity shine! Sprinkle sugar sand or edible glitter over the top for a magical, snowy sparkle.
4. Add the Snow Globe
Take half of a clear ornament and gently press it over your cookie, creating the illusion of a snow globe dome. It’s absolutely adorable — and the kids will love seeing their mini winter scenes come to life!
5. Serve or Display
Once assembled, you can display your Christmas Globe Cookies on a platter or wrap them in clear cellophane bags as homemade holiday gifts. They’re as beautiful as they are tasty!
Christmas Globe Cookies: SIDE IDEA
Why Christmas Globe Cookies Are a Holiday Must
These Christmas Globe Cookies are more than just a dessert — they’re a memory-maker. They combine creativity, family fun, and that magical Christmas spirit we all love.

With minimal effort and maximum charm, these cookies will become a Christmas tradition you’ll look forward to year after year.
So, mama, grab your cookies, icing, and a few ornament halves — and get ready to make some sweet holiday memories. Because sometimes, the simplest ideas are the ones that sparkle the brightest.
🎄✨ Here’s to Christmas Globe Cookies — and to the magic we create when we gather, laugh, and bake together.
Crazy Busy Mama Tip
For an extra “wow” factor, use different cookie flavors for your Christmas Globe Cookies — like classic sugar for snow scenes, chocolate for reindeer cookies, and peppermint for Santa’s workshop. You can even tint your icing light blue for a winter sky effect!
If you’re hosting a kids’ party, set up a Christmas Globe Cookie Station. Give each child a few cookies, icing, and decorations — it’s a fun, mess-friendly activity that keeps them busy while you finish wrapping gifts (or sneak another cookie). 😉
