Christmas cookies and treats baskets go to the family, friends, neighbours, and clients you want to send something sweet to this December, without the fuss of shipping baked goods yourself. Expect Belgian chocolate truffles, buttery shortbread and wafers, dark chocolate fudge, and Italian chocolates, all hand-packed by our team in gift-ready presentation. Great for the co-worker Secret Santa, the hostess of the holiday dinner, or a long-distance grandparent who lives for the cookie tin.

Who sends Christmas cookies and treats baskets

For the grandparent who won't say what they want but lights up over a tin of shortbread. For the neighbour who fed the cat while you were away. For the client you'd normally take to lunch, but this year you're sending 40 of them. A treats basket handles all three without you having to bake, box, or ship anything yourself, and it stays inside the December sweet spot where wine feels heavy and flowers feel wasteful.

Sub-segments to know: pure chocolate boxes for the truffle lover (see our Christmas gourmet gift baskets for a bigger mix with cheese and crackers), wine-and-treat pairings for a hostess (our Christmas wine baskets add reds and sparkling), and the 12-day advent-style builds for kids and grandkids. Want a specific tin of shortbread swapped in, or the whole thing built from scratch? Upgrade individual items by paying the difference, or build your own basket from our full pantry.

Common Questions

Christmas Cookies & Treats Basket FAQs

Are these Christmas cookie baskets a good gift for both family and coworkers?

They work for both audiences, which is why the Christmas cookie and treat category is one of our most-shipped holiday collections. The 12 Days of Gourmet Christmas leans festive and shareable for family, while the World's Finest Belgian Indulgence reads more polished for coworkers or a boss. If you want a cleaner corporate look with branding options, our corporate gift baskets are the better fit.

How fresh are the cookies and treats when they arrive?

The Gourmet Gifts hand-assembles every Christmas cookie basket the day it ships, so nothing sits in a warehouse waiting. We've personally taste-tested each cookie, wafer, truffle, and chocolate before it makes it into the collection, and shelf-stable items like the Belgian chocolates and shortbread stay fresh for weeks. If you want something with a longer window still, our dried fruits and nuts gift baskets are another solid Christmas option.

Can I get a Christmas cookie basket delivered same-day in Toronto?

The Gourmet Gifts offers same-day delivery across the GTA on Christmas cookie and treat baskets ordered before 4 PM ET, 7 days a week. Coverage includes Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Oakville, and Richmond Hill, and baskets like the European Cafe Delight are hand-packed the same morning by our team. Our own local delivery van handles these runs, so you'll get live notifications as the basket is on its way. For last-minute ideas that also ship same-day, browse our Christmas gift baskets.

Can I upgrade the cookies or add extras to a basket?

You can upgrade individual items to a higher-priced alternative by paying the difference, and you can add extras like more truffles or a bottle of wine at checkout. Items can't be removed or downgraded, but if you want full control over every cookie, chocolate, and treat, start with a chocolate gift basket and add from there, or handpick everything from scratch. Hand-assembly means the extras go in the same basket, not a second box.

Do the chocolates and truffles melt during shipping in warmer regions?

Our Christmas shipping season runs through cold Canadian months, so melting isn't the issue it is in July. Baskets like the Vintage Sparkle & Chocolate Pairing and the World's Finest Belgian Indulgence are packed with protective liners, and if anything ever arrives damaged we make it right. For a chocolate-forward option that travels especially well, check the best sellers.

Do you ship Christmas cookie baskets across Canada?

The Gourmet Gifts ships Christmas cookies and treats gift baskets nationwide via UPS, with next-business-day delivery available to select at checkout. From British Columbia to the Maritimes, including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, and Halifax, your basket is hand-packed the day it ships and a UPS tracking number is sent the moment it leaves our team. Note that baskets containing wine, like the Holiday Harmony Wine & Treats Basket, require an adult of legal drinking age with government-issued photo ID and a signature at delivery, and alcohol availability is confirmed by region at checkout.

Is a cookie and treats basket appropriate as a Christmas gift for a client or their whole office?

It's one of the safest choices for a mixed office because cookies, chocolates, and wafers appeal broadly without assuming preferences. The 12 Days of Gourmet Christmas is generous enough to share around a break room, and the European Cafe Delight reads more refined for a single executive recipient. If you're sending to a dozen or more addresses, email our team a list of names, addresses, and card messages and we'll coordinate the whole run for you, no minimum required. For gifts geared to a female recipient specifically, our gift baskets for her collection has more feminine styling.

What if the recipient prefers something other than sweets, like wine or savoury snacks?

Several baskets in this collection already balance sweets with savoury and drinks, the Holiday Harmony Wine & Treats Basket pairs chocolates with crackers and wine, and the Vintage Sparkle & Chocolate Pairing includes cheeses and crackers alongside truffles. If they'd genuinely prefer a bottle-forward gift, our wine and cheese gift baskets lean savoury with just a small sweet accent. Any basket with wine requires an adult signature and valid photo ID at delivery, and alcohol availability is confirmed by province at checkout.
