A dessert tray covered in frosting, sprinkles, and little edible stars usually means one thing – easy Christmas tree cupcakes have made their entrance.
They’re the kind of treat that’s festive enough to wow a crowd but simple enough to whip up without turning your kitchen into a holiday battlefield.
Cupcakes, after all, already win people over, and when they’re dressed like Christmas trees, they basically guarantee smiles.
This guide lines up 33 recipes to take your cupcake game from “pretty good” to “holiday hero.”
You can pipe swirls of green buttercream to mimic branches, scatter on colorful candies as ornaments, and even top them with a shiny star-shaped sprinkle.
Go classic with chocolate bases, keep it light with vanilla, or add seasonal twists like peppermint or gingerbread.
Each version is fun, easy, and full of cheer.
