We’re in the final stretch of Christmas preparations, so now’s the time to get those last-minute stocking stuffers and holiday party supplies. If you’re planning to run around to multiple stores to do that, don’t bother: You can do it all at Dollar Tree, as one frugal TikToker shows us.
Content creator cassidys_corner considers Dollar Tree her Target, and she’s great at putting together inexpensive gifts, stocking stuffers, and even entire Christmas parties with her dollar stores finds. For her, the holidays don’t mean you have to splurge on everything, and you don’t have to skimp, either — she’s clearly putting together some fantastic holiday parties on the cheap. Here are some of the most popular videos and tips from Cassidy about how to make your Christmas magical while sticking to your budget.
Christmas S’mores Bar
Sure, you can put together a pretty standard s’mores bar for Christmas, but Cassidy goes above and beyond with lots of extra candy and chocolate. There’s plain marshmallows, but also holiday-themed Peeps. There’s graham crackers, but also fudge striped cookies and chocolate-covered graham crackers. There’s Hershey bars, but also Reese’s peanut butter cups.
Grab a holiday platter as well, and you’ve got a full s’mores set-up. Kids would love doing this on a cozy night around the fireplace, or you can arrange it all and take it to a Christmas party. You can even make them in the microwave or under your oven’s broiler if you want to skip the roasting part.
Hot Cocoa and Coffee Bar
If s’mores aren’t really your thing, we’re betting that hot chocolate and coffee might perk you up a little more. This one’s great for an adult Christmas party, too, because who doesn’t love customizing their own hot drink?
Dollar Tree has Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix, along with fixings like mini marshmallows, candy canes, and chocolate and peppermint stirring spoons that dissolve and flavor your drink — we love those so much we bought some this year, too. Don’t forget the festive mugs and little rolled wafer cookies!
Christmas Gifts
There are a bunch of great Christmas present ideas Cassidy shares from Dollar Tree. We especially like this hot cocoa gift basket that’s under $20. There’s also an under-$20 gift basket for women, full of cute and cozy stuff like holiday slippers, a hat-and-mitten combo (with a big, poofy pompom on top, natch), a chocolate-smelling candle, and a festive stemless wine glass.
There are also TikToks for smaller gifts at Dollar Tree. One video gift roundup has some great finds, including a cookbook for fans of the show The Good Place (there better be some shrimp cocktail in there!), nostalgic ‘90s cartoon socks, and Disney-themed lip balm.
Dollar Tree is amazing for stocking stuffers, obviously, and Cassidy has videos highlighting small gifts and trinkets for boys and girls on your list.
Party Supplies
Finally, this may be Cassidy’s real superpower: putting together an amazing Christmas party with almost all Dollar Tree finds. She has a TikTok of her store run where she makes all the purchases, but we love the video of the end results the best.
Her home is festooned with all kinds of fun party decorations that we recognize from previous Dollar Tree videos. There’s a hot chocolate bar, separate kids and adults beverage stations, and even prizes for the party games everyone plays. It gives us great ideas for how we can set up our party this year — and makes us wonder how we can score an invite to Cassidy’s party next year.
