The holidays may not be near, especially with the hot weather in the Northeast, but once I step into any store, it’s hard to ignore the festive reminders. Even if I’m still wearing sandals, holiday decorations, and seasonal treats signal that Christmas is approaching.
I’ve been eagerly visiting the grocery store for weeks, hoping to spot my favorite seasonal treat: Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. And now, they’re finally here!
I grabbed a few boxes and safely hid them away in the basement until our annual family Christmas tree-trimming party.
Family Traditions and Little Debbie’s Christmas Tree Cakes
Our family has a few traditions for our tree-trimming party, and they’re all simple but cherished. Each year, we gather for a casual feast of meatball sandwiches—a tradition we share with actress Melissa McCarthy’s family, who also enjoys them during the holidays while watching “Lord of the Rings.”
For us, it’s a little different. After decorating the tree, we settle in with plates of sandwiches and watch the holiday classic, “Elf.” Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes always appear on our dessert tray when it’s time for dessert.
Another tradition I love is giving each of my sons an ornament at the party. While this isn’t unique, finding ornaments that still feel special and meaningful as my kids get older becomes challenging. Thankfully, Little Debbie came to the rescue this year.

Little Debbie brings back holiday-themed merchandise every year to celebrate this holiday favorite. This season’s collection is packed with returning favorites and new items, most of which are inspired by their famous snack cakes.
Returning Fan Favorites
In this year’s holiday collection, the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake Yard Inflatable makes a comeback. Available in vanilla or chocolate, this inflatable decoration is priced at $100 and is perfect for showing off the holiday spirit in your yard.
There are also Christmas Tree Cake earrings for $10, a fun way to add a festive touch to any outfit.
New Additions for 2024
Beyond holiday-themed items, Little Debbie has expanded the collection with new giftable items that snack lovers will appreciate. Fresh additions include beach towels with designs inspired by Cosmic Brownies and Zebra Cakes ($35 each).
There’s also a selection of adorable dog toys shaped like Christmas Tree Cakes and Zebra Cakes, each priced around $20. While I’d love to get one for my dog, Buddy (named after Buddy the Elf), I know he’d chew it up in no time!
There are plenty of clothing options, too. You’ll find t-shirts, sweatshirts, and even a tie inspired by Christmas Tree Cakes, perfect for fans who want to celebrate their favorite treats all season.
A Perfect Gift for Family Traditions
The new Christmas tree ornaments caught my attention most in this year’s collection. You can choose from ornaments shaped like Oatmeal Creme Pie, Zebra Cake, or the classic Christmas Tree Cake.
As soon as I spotted the Christmas Tree Cake ornament, I knew it would be the perfect addition to our tradition. I ordered them immediately and am excited to have a meaningful and unique gift.
I can already picture my sons in the future, carefully unpacking these ornaments and reminiscing about our Christmas tree-trimming parties. Whether they choose to watch “Elf” as we do or pick a different holiday movie, I’m pretty sure Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes will always be a part of their dessert tradition.
The Joy of Holiday Traditions
The holiday season is filled with little rituals that bring families together, and for us, Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes have become a beloved part of that. They’re more than just a snack—a symbol of holiday cheer and the memories we create each year.
As long as Little Debbie keeps making them, I know they’ll be a part of our family’s holiday celebrations for years.
