Who stole the cookie from the...tupperware? As cute as the classic saying is, it just doesn't hit the same when your holiday treats are stored in a plastic container instead of the quintessential cookie jar. That's where these Christmas cookie jars come in. Whether you're testing out Christmas cookie recipes or hosting a cookie swap, you'll need a festive container to hold all of your leftovers. Plus, at some point, you’ve got to leave out a plate of cookies for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. But even the jolly old fellow can’t eat them all at once, which is why you need these adorable Christmas cookie jars to store them!

The great thing about holiday cookie jars is that they play two roles: They're not only food storage containers but they double as Christmas décor. In fact, you don't have to use them for sweet Christmas treats at all! You can leave them empty as adorable figurines on your Christmas mantel or fill them with cotton balls in your festive bathroom. But rest assured, if you do want to use them for actual cookie storage, these are all designed just for that. They are made from sturdy stoneware or ceramic, which are food safe and easy to wash.

It's worth noting that although each of these adorable jars comes with a lid, they aren't fully sealed, which means cookies won't stay as fresh as they would in say, a meal prep container. But honestly, do cookies last that long in your house anyway? Nope, didn't think so! They'll last just long enough to be gobbled up with glee. Just remember to save a few for Santa!

Infuse holiday spirit into all your Christmas cooking endeavors:
