Turn a classic gingerbread man into our dear friend, Rudolph. Use brown and white frosting to create the reindeer head and antlers. Top it off with Red Hots or red M&M's for Rudolph's famous nose.

Give cocoa a cute touch.

What's better than a warm mug of hot chocolate on a cold day? One with a whipped cream gingerbread man smiling right back at you. To make, spread a big batch of homemade whipped cream on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and stick in the freezer overnight. When solid, press the gingerbread cookie cutters into the cream and stick your creamy gingerbread men into a cup of cocoa.

Turn a Heart Into Santa

It isn't too early for heart-shaped treats, is it?! Just grab a heart cookie cutter and make basic sugar cookies. With white frosting, add Santa's beard and eyes. Then use red frosting to add Santa's hat and rosy nose. Add the finishing touches with another round of white frosting for the hat and a dot of black frosting for the pupils.

Turn gingerbread into a banner.

Grab your alphabet cookie cutters to create festive decor that also shares a message with guests. This particular one says "Give Thanks" but we'd also recommend "Happy Holidays" or "Ho Ho Ho."
