Holiday Cupcake Gifts

Our team shares fun ideas to enjoy and gift the perfect bite-size treats this holiday season.

It’s almost my favorite time of year—the holiday season! Festive music, family traditions, and delicious food and drinks instantly put me in a good mood. Even though the holidays can be stressful, celebrating with loved ones and creating happy memories keeps me going.

You know what makes it easier? Cupcakes, and lots of them. The bite-size cupcakes at Baked by Melissa are the perfect gifts to ship, desserts for holiday parties, and more. No matter what holiday you celebrate, we’ve got you covered with all the ways to make this the sweetest holiday season yet.

Gift bite-size cupcakes to family, friends, clients, or coworkers

Because it’s gifting season, we have not one, but two featured holiday assortments.

Check off your Christmas shopping list with our Holiday Cheer Cupcakes. It includes festive Christmas Sugar Cookie, winter wonderland-inspired Vanilla Fluff, fudgy Snowcap topped with white nonpareils, and my personal favorite, Brookie, overstuffed with gooey, delicious cookie dough. I heard it’s one of Santa’s favorites, too!

In need of Hanukkah presents? Send our Festival of Bites Cupcakes. This assortment has Caramel Cake Batter filled with decadent dulce de leche, cozy White Chocolate Hot Cocoa (trust me, it’ll make you like white chocolate), Snowcap, and Chocolate Babka, topped with cinnamon streusel because the best babkas have streusel.

Whichever assortment you choose—don’t miss out on our holiday-decked gluten-free cupcakes and macarons—make it the ultimate gift with one of our limited edition gift boxes. We offer dessert delivery nationwide so you can send to everyone on your list, and if your list is on the longer side, our corporate holiday gifting team can assist (and will check it twice)!

Create a dazzling holiday dessert table

Holiday parties call for loads of sweets and our festive cupcakes make the perfect spread because there are so many flavors. We made holiday party cupcakes, including all seven new flavors in our holiday collection, with these large gatherings in mind.

Stuff smaller packs of cupcakes in Christmas stockings

Nothing beats finding goodies in your stocking on the morning of the 25th and the best stocking stuffers are the ones you can eat. Wrapped 3-packs of bite-size cupcakes will easily fit inside with other mini gifts. If you can stuff more than one cupcake 3-pack in a stocking, I say go for it!

Play dreidel with Hanukkah cupcakes as the gelt

Our bite-size cupcakes are a little larger than a quarter and the same can be said for foil-wrapped chocolate coins. I grew up playing dreidel during Hanukkah with the chocolate, but I think swapping the popular gelt for cupcakes will make the game even sweeter when playing with family or kids.

Leave cupcakes out for Santa

Even Santa wants to try all our flavors! Pair his glass of milk with cookie-inspired cupcakes, including options from our holiday collection and evergreen assortment.
