How to make Frosty the Snowman Cups: a step-by-step guide

Follow these simple steps to bring Frosty to life:

Serving Tip: Once decorated, keep your Frosty the Snowman Cups chilled until ready to serve.

Prepare the Base: Fill each plastic cup about ¾ full with vanilla pudding. This will be Frosty’s snowy body.

Add “Snow” Texture: Sprinkle crushed Oreos on top of the pudding. This makes a fun “hat” or snowy ground look for your Frosty the Snowman Cups.

Draw Frosty’s Face: Using your black marker, draw two eyes and five small dots for his coal mouth. Then use the orange marker to make his classic carrot nose.

Frosty the Snowman Cups: SIDE IDEA

For me, recipes like Frosty the Snowman Cups are more than just desserts. They’re opportunities to slow down, gather the kids in the kitchen, and create something together. My kids love helping draw Frosty’s face, and the laughter we share while making these memories is something I cherish deeply.

The holidays can get busy (I know—I’m Crazy Busy Mama for a reason!), but little moments like this remind us of the joy and magic that come from simply being together.v

Crazy Busy Mama Tip

Draw the faces at room temperature! The marker works much better when the plastic isn’t chilled, so decorate after your cups have sat out for a bit.
