Come January we will all recognize that maybe, just maybe, we shouldn’t have indulged in quite so many holiday treats. But while the holidays are upon us, we can keep ourselves blissfully ignorant of the pound-packing ingredients in those tasty cookies. Help rationalize your Christmas cookie binge session by serving treats on this DIY “Christmas calories don’t count” cookie tray.
“CHRISTMAS CALORIES DON’T COUNT” COOKIE TRAY
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE A CHRISTMAS COOKIE TRAY
2023 UPDATE: I originally made this design using elements and features from Cricut Design Space that have since been deleted. I wanted you to still be able to make this fun cookie tray, so I designed my own SVG. It will look a little different than my version, but I think you will still love it!

DOWNLOAD THE FREE SVG FILE
Sign up for my SVG Club below for these free SVG files! As a member of the club, you will receive one new SVG file each month. These SVG files are ready to upload directly into your favorite cutting machine’s design software. Insert the file into a new project, then resize it to fit the project you will be making.
HOW TO MAKE THE COOKIE TRAY
Cut out the design, weed out the excess vinyl, apply transfer tape, and position the design in the center of the tray. Be sure to use firm pressure to make sure the vinyl has fully adhered to the tray.
Using outdoor vinyl will allow you to wipe the tray down after using it without harming the vinyl. If you would like to be able to put the tray in the dishwasher, coat the vinyl with dishwasher-safe Mod Podge.
Once the tray is finished, you can stack it full of delicious, completely calorie-free Christmas cookies. At least, that is what we will tell ourselves until January.
