Looking for christmas cakesicles with a little something extra? Think tiny gingerbread figures, snowmen in blue hats and green trees covered in colorful sprinkles.
These ideas give you plenty to choose from, whether you like classic red and green or something a little softer.
You can keep the decorations simple or go all out with little characters. I especially love the scarves!
Save your favorite design for a baking project or bring it along as inspiration when ordering your holiday treats.
Christmas Cakesicle Ideas to Save
little trees and red drizzle
We’re starting off strong with these super cute trees and red-drizzled cakesicles. I love the tiny colorful decorations on the green branches. The white snowflakes look just as pretty against those thick red lines.
Try alternating the two designs on a platter like this instead of making every cakesicle match.
red and green gift box
How cute is this box? There are stars, little candy canes and even a green cakesicle with big red “HO HO” letters.
The marshmallows underneath make the whole arrangement look extra sweet.
If you want one detail to repeat across your own set, try the red, white and green sprinkles.
snowman with a green scarf
I am obsessed with this little snowman. That oversized green scarf with white snowflakes is adorable, especially with the floppy red hat.
The face stays simple with black eyes, an orange nose and pink cheeks. I’d keep those tiny details rather than adding anything to the plain white body.
bright blue snowman hat
If you want your snowman to look a little different, try a bright blue hat like this one. The textured blue top and wavy white trim are so cute together.
I love the little white highlights in the eyes. Those black dots curving into a smile give this face so much personality.
gold bows and festive details
If you are looking for a true eye-catcher, then this set is for you. There’s so much to love, from the gold-colored reindeer to the little red door with its tiny bow.
The large gold-colored bows on the sticks are my favorite finishing touch. Pair them with deep green, red and cream if you want to follow this color combination.
red noses and golden antlers
How adorable are these reindeer? The bright red noses stand out against the brown coating, with oversized gold-colored antlers on either side.
Some have sleepy little eyelashes while others have a scattering of gold-colored speckles. You could mix both versions in your own box too.
pink and brown snowflakes
Don’t want to stick to red and green? No problem! This pale pink and dark brown pairing is so pretty with white and pink snowflakes.
Keep the drizzle and sprinkles toward one end if you want the same look. That leaves plenty of space for a single snowflake.
grinch faces and red hearts
Looks like the Grinch has taken over the treat box, lol! The green cakesicles with red hearts sit alongside character designs and red-and-white ones.
There are matching round cake pops here too. If you’re planning a mixed treat box, repeating the green color and red hearts is a cute way to connect the two shapes.
white bases and red bows
This is one of my favorite color combinations on the list. The red bows and snowflakes look so pretty on the plain white bases.
You don’t have to use the same decoration on every piece. Try a mix of fine diagonal drizzle, little red-and-white pieces and a few bigger bows like this set.
gingerbread pairs and candy canes
Aww, how sweet are these little gingerbread pairs? Each white cakesicle has two smiling figures with red bows and striped candy canes.
The big red bow around each stick ties everything together. I’d keep that extra detail if you’re taking inspiration from these for individual gifts.
presents trees and wreaths
The present-inspired cakesicles are just too cute. I love how the red and green switch places between the base and the raised ribbon details.
There’s also a textured green tree and a wreath made from tiny colorful sprinkles. Try including a few white bases with red drizzle to break up the solid colors.
tiny bows and mouse ears
Calling all mouse-ear fans, this is such a cute little set. The brown silhouette sits over red and green sprinkles while the white one gets a tiny red bow.
A green tree and a pale gingerbread figure complete the row. You could borrow just the bow detail if you want to connect several different designs.

pale blue and golden stars
I am obsessed with these stars. The pale blue and gold-colored shapes look gorgeous against the sparkling white bases.
The set also includes raised blue name plaques and large white bows. Try a personalized plaque alongside the star designs if you want to make your own gift box feel a little more special.
elves in tall red hats
How cute are these little elves? Not gonna lie, those big pointed ears may be my favorite part!
The tall red hats cover most of each cakesicle, leaving room for blue eyes, brown hair and rosy cheeks.
Keep the white hat bands and round pompoms if you’re asking for a similar design.
green tree with colorful sprinkles
If you’re looking for one tree design to build your set around, go with this green zigzag on a pale base. The branches get wider toward the bottom, with red, white and gold-colored sprinkles scattered across them.

I love the fine sparkle over the whole thing. There’s no need for a bow or a character here.
tiny red cocoa mugs
OMG, how adorable is this mug-shaped cakesicle? I am quite literally obsessed with the striped handle and the little gingerbread figure peeking out of the top.
The brown drip, white marshmallow-shaped details and snowflakes give it so much to look at. Save this one if you like the more decorated character designs.
snowflake hats and blue bows
Here’s another snowman idea, but this time the hats are pale blue with big white snowflakes. I love the little lines around the hat bands.
The matching blue bows beneath their faces are such a pretty addition. Keep those black dotted smiles and orange noses for the same sweet expression.
holly leaves and striped drizzle
Don’t want a character on your cakesicles? No problem there!
Try this white base with thin red and green drizzle, large holly leaves and a cluster of red berries.

The raised veins in the leaves are my favorite detail. I’d leave the top partly plain just like this.
penguin with a braided scarf
This penguin may just be my favorite little character here. The white face and belly look so cute against the dark brown base, with tiny orange feet at the bottom.
And that berry-colored braided scarf! Keep it as the main decoration if you want to follow this design.
individual holiday gift boxes
Last but definitely not least, we have these pretty individually boxed cakesicles. I love the mix of candy-cane patterns, green bases with gold-colored details and little raised Christmas trees.
Each clear box has marshmallows at the bottom and white string tied around it. Try this presentation when you want the decoration to stay visible without opening the gift.
