How to Host a Cookie Exchange Party to Make Martha Stewart Proud – it's a Fun and Nostalgic Excuse for a Festive Gathering

Christmas tree cookies sprinkled in icing sugar.

Cookie exchange parties are a wonderful seasonal event where friends and family gather together to share their favourite seasonal sweet treats. For those who love to bake and host at Christmas, it’s a fun way to get an assortment of holiday cookies without spending hours baking different varieties.

Having held cookie parties since the eighties, Martha Stewart is a seasoned festive hostess and cookie party queen. Each year, she goes all out and puts on a fabulous holiday celebration at her Bedford farm. The guest list now goes into the hundreds, and she transforms three separate buildings to accommodate everyone. Stacks of sugar cookies are served up, decorated to a different theme every year.
