How to Celebrate National Cookie Exchange Day and Grow Your Business

National Cookie Exchange Day is celebrated on December 22nd in the United States. It is a day to gather with friends and family to share homemade cookies and holiday cheer.

The history of cookie exchanges dates back to the Middle Ages in Europe. During this time, spices and dried fruit were becoming popular additions to baked goods, but they were also very expensive. As a result, most families could only afford to bake cookies during the holidays. To celebrate, they would hold parties to share and appreciate these delicious treats.

This tradition of sharing cookies during the holidays continued to grow in popularity over time, and eventually made its way to the United States. Today, cookie exchanges are a popular way to celebrate the holiday season and to spread some holiday cheer.

To celebrate National Cookie Exchange Day, many people host cookie exchange parties at their homes. Guests are asked to bring a batch of their favourite homemade cookies to share with the other guests. Once everyone has arrived, the cookies are displayed on a table and guests are free to choose the cookies they want to take home.

Some people choose to have a theme for their cookie exchanges, such as all-chocolate cookies or all-holiday cookies. Others simply allow guests to bring whatever kind of cookies they like.

No matter what format it takes, a cookie exchange is a fun and festive way to celebrate the holiday season with friends and family. It is also a great opportunity to try new cookies and to share your own favourite recipes.

Here are some tips for hosting a successful cookie exchange:

• Choose a date and time that works for your guests.

• Send out invitations well in advance.

• Decide if you want to have a theme for your cookie exchange.

• Ask guests to bring a batch of their favourite homemade cookies, typically 2-3 dozen.

• Provide plates, napkins, and utensils for your guests to enjoy the cookies.

• Play some festive music and have fun!

If you are unable to host a cookie exchange party, you can still celebrate the day by baking some cookies to share with your friends and family. You can also visit a local bakery or grocery store and purchase a variety of cookies to enjoy.
