Jello Shot Christmas Tree
Turn your holiday party into a full-on celebration with this festive Jello Shot Christmas Tree! Made with lime Jello, vodka, and a touch of food coloring for the trunk, these shots are easy to prep ahead and then assemble into a tree shape right before serving. Finish with gold star sprinkles and a dusting of red sanding sugar to mimic ornaments, and you’ve got the most cheerful (and boozy) centerpiece around. Perfect for Christmas parties and holiday gatherings!
Servings: 20 shots
Ingredients
- 1 box lime jello 6oz
- 2 ½ cups boiling water
- 1 ½ cups vodka
- 1 drop brown gel food dye
- Gold star sprinkles
- Red sanding sugar
Instructions
- In a medium or large mixing bowl, whisk together the jello and boiling water until the powder is fully dissolved.
- Stir in the vodka until combined.
- Scoop out about 2 ounces of the mixture into a separate glass or small bowl and add a drop of brown food dye. Stir until you’ve got your “tree trunk” color (one drop should do it, but add more if needed).
- Pour the brown jello into one shot cup, then fill the remaining 19 cups with the green jello.
- Chill everything in the fridge for about 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once set, arrange the cups into a Christmas tree: start with one at the top, then one, two, three, and four per row until you reach the bottom. Place the brown cup in the center base for the trunk.
- Decorate by adding a star sprinkle to the very top cup and dusting five random green cups with red sanding sugar “ornaments.”
- Serve and enjoy!
