If your holiday goody bags are getting to be a bit of a bore, there are plenty of alternatives to the cookie cutter options. All recipes are linked at the end of the list.

Strawberry brownie santas
For an option a little less sinful than normal, add some fruit! Granted there is frosting and chocolate under that fruit but it’s a little healthier, right? These adorable treats are so easy that they are perfect to try out with younger siblings, relatively mess free.

Oreo snowman pops
Snowmen are a holiday staple, outside and in the kitchen. So pick your poison, double stuff or birthday cake, and make a snowman in the coziness of a warm kitchen. You might also want to try other designs as well, maybe get artsy with the frosting and trade a snowman for a single snowflake or rudolf.

Christmas cookie bark
If you’re tired of peppermint bark, mix up your extra oreos from the snowmen and pretzels for this new spin on holiday bark. Everyone will love the change of pace and its easier to swipe m&ms while making this than to munch on crunched up candy cane.

Peppermint crunch fudge
You might miss the peppermint from your baking regimen after switching it out for a new bark, so bring it back in a fresh way. This also gives your classic chocolate fudge recipe a break.

Coal rice krispie treats
Wondering how to tell someone that you’re not giving them anything for Christmas? Break it to them deliciously with this variation of rice krispie treats.
