This year, give Santa his cookies in the cutest way possible – all with the help of this “Cookies for Santa Plate” SVG! In a few simple steps, you can create the cutest plate to showcase all the treats you have to offer for Santa Claus.
Happy holidays, crafty friends! Thanks for stopping by, especially during this crazy busy season! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Nancy, and I love crafting with my cutting machines. I create SVG cut files so that you can make unique projects with your Cricut and Silhouette.
In the last few years, Santa plates and trays have been all the rave. I absolutely adore them, but I have also seen the price tags on store-bought ones. They can get quite pricey!
Lucky for you, I designed my very own Cookies for Santa Plate SVG so that you can DIY one of your very own! Today, I used the SVG on a large serving tray, but you can put it on a round plate as well. That’s the best part about this SVG! You can re-size it depending on the surface that you are using!

What Is A “Cookies for Santa” Plate?
