Magical No Bake Christmas Cookie Delight
You honestly gotta add this treat to your Christmas plans. This Christmas Cookie Lasagna is straight-up dreamy—layers of super creamy cheesecake, smooth pudding, and a crunchy cookie bite in every forkful. The coolest thing? You won't need your oven at all. I get such a kick out of seeing everyone grin at those cheery holiday sprinkles on top. It’s become such a favorite—my pals start texting about it before December even gets going.
Why This Dessert Totally Wows
If you want to skip holiday dessert stress, this is the one. You can throw it together while watching your go-to Christmas movies and it'll chill until you're ready. Kids dig those sparkly sprinkles and cookie layers and grown-ups always mention how it's just the right amount of sweet. Can’t mess it up even if you try which means you can hang out more and stop fussing about what’s for dessert.

- Holiday Sparkle: Your favorite sprinkles to bring all the cheer up top.
- Whipped Goodness: Pile on whipped topping to keep everything light and fluffy.
- Cheesecake Dream: Use cheesecake pudding mix to make things extra awesome.
- Smooth Operator: Get cream cheese really soft so it blends like a dream.

Fun Twists to Try
Wanna switch it up? Go with golden Oreos instead of chocolate or grab sprinkles for any season, not just Christmas. Change the pudding flavor for a new vibe, or toss in crushed nuts if you love a little crunch. If you're all about chocolate, drizzle some over the top—seriously, it’s so good.
My Top Tricks for Nailing It
Keep everything super cold as you work so the layers don’t go soft on you. Smash those cookies really well to make the best crust, but don’t dump too much butter in. I always make mine the day before. That way all the flavors blend together and you can chill out on the day of your party.
Keeping It Tasty
This dessert stays awesome in your fridge for up to 3 days if you wrap it up tight. Make it early? You can freeze it for a month, easy. I like cutting mine in squares and grabbing a piece from the freezer whenever we need a bit of sweetness with zero effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
- → How far ahead can I make this dessert?
Go ahead and make it up to 4 days early and chill in the fridge. You can also freeze it up to a month. When it’s frozen, just let it sit out about an hour before eating.
- → Why are my layers not staying separate when cutting?
Make sure it’s super cold—chill for at least 4 hours, even better overnight. Slice it with a sharp, hot knife for the cleanest pieces.
- → Can I use different flavored Oreos?
Go for it! Use golden, mint, or special holiday flavors. Just pick ones with a light filling so the colors pop.
- → Why line the pan with parchment paper?
Parchment isn’t a must but it really helps you pull the dessert out in one piece. Makes serving super easy, especially if you’re sharing at a party.
- → Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of whipped topping?
Homemade tastes awesome, but store whipped topping keeps its shape longer if you’re prepping ahead of time.
