All you need is green jello with whipped cream and edible hearts.

Of course, they’re boozy jello shots. So you’ll flavor the lime with marshmallow whipped cream. How fun!

3. Santa Hat Jello Shots

Santa hat Jello shots are the best treat for Christmas parties. 

Mix bright red strawberry jello with your choice of liquor. I like blanco tequila or vodka but white rum works well too. 

Top them with whipped cream and a strawberry Santa hat and they’re ready for the guests.

4. Christmas Cookie Jello Shots

Christmas cookies are a festive classic. So why not turn them into a jello shot for your next holiday get-together?

Add some whipped cream and sprinkles, and they’re ready for the cookie exchange!

I know these don’t look like shots, but they’re still boozy jello treats, and they’re ideal for Christmas.

Loaded with rum and pina colada mix, they’re also deliciously tropical.

They’re also a little more complicated to make. But they’re more than worth it in the end.

How cute are these layered jello shots?

Alternating cherry jello with sweetened condensed milk jello, they sure are effective.

The results are candy cane stripes with tons of flavor and a splash of booze. 

They’ll take a little longer to make, since you have to let each layer set before adding the next But I think they’re so worth it.

9. Peppermint Mocha Jello Shots

The best holiday latte is now an adults-only Jello delight. It’s chocolatey, creamy, and minty to the max.

Coffee vodka, chocolate liqueur, and peppermint schnapps combine with coffee to make one delicious dessert.

Cranberry jello shots are a festive and fun version of your usual vodka and cranberry drink.

Make a batch for Halloween and I guarantee you’ll want them at every party from then until Christmas.

These brightly colored shots may look innocent, but they’re definitely on the naughty list. 

Between the sweet cherry and Fireball, they pack quite a Christmas punch.

Top them with creamy whipped cream for some balance and a hint of extra sweetness. 

Add red hots for extra heat and they’ll be a hit. 

14. Gingerbread Jello Shots

This recipe calls for gingerbread simple syrup. That’s the main flavor, along with Baileys, butterscotch schnapps, and vodka.

But I suggest making double syrup because it’s so tasty, you’ll want to put it in your coffee!

The little gingerbread cookies are optional, but they make the presentation so much cuter.

15. Mimosa Jello Shots

Christmas brunch will never be the same again.

Orange jello, Champagne, and whipped cream make one fantastic treat. It’s your favorite mid-day cocktail in one fun little mouthful. 

No matter what time of day you enjoy these, I promise you’ll love them.

Bailey’s Irish cream Jello shots are a heavenly twist on a party classic. 

A layer of espresso jello and a thick layer of Baileys to smooth it out. Sounds dreamy, right?

It’s familiar and zippy, with a nice little burn as it goes down. Trust me, if it’s snowy outside, these are the shots to make.

Top them with whipped topping and a dusting of cinnamon for the ultimate treat.
