National Cookie Exchange Day is observed worldwide every December 22. This holiday, created by Jace Shoemaker-Galloway, also known as the Queen of Holidays, provides an opportunity for people to gather for a lighthearted Christmas celebration centered around cookie swapping. Participants typically host cookie exchange parties, where they showcase their baking skills, sample various cookies, and share recipes. To organize a successful event, hosts should establish rules, such as requiring homemade cookies and specifying the number of cookies each guest should bring. Guests are encouraged to inform the host about the types of cookies they will bake to avoid duplicates and to bring recipe cards to share. The atmosphere is often festive, with decorations, music, and refreshments, creating a joyful environment for mingling and enjoying the treats.
