I’m so excited today to share these super cute santa hat jello shots! We took strawberry jello shots and created santa’s hat with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. They are so festive for the holiday season and the perfect addition to your Christmas party.

Santa’s Hat Jello Shots

Here’s what you’ll need to make them-

• 1 (6 oz) package strawberry jell-o
• 2 cups boiling water
• 1 cup vodka
• 1 cup cold water
• Whipped cream for topping
• 12 Strawberries, stems removed

You’ll also need 12 plastic shot glasses or cups, the ones we used are 2 ounces, sometimes called condiment cups. You can find them at your local grocery store, or on Amazon.

Here’s how to make these fun jell-o shots-

Step 1: Place your shot cups onto a cookie sheet or other shallow baking pan that can fit in the refrigerator. Set aside.

Step 2: In a medium sauce pan, boil 2 cups of water, and remove from the heat.

Step 3: To the hot water, add strawberry jello and whisk until dissolved.

Step 4: Add 1 cup of vodka and 1 cup of cold water. Stir to combine.

Step 5: Pour the jello evenly into your plastic cups.

Step 6: Allow the jello shots to chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours, until the jello has set.

Step 7: Before serving, top with a layer of whipped cream, followed by an upside down strawberry, and a dot of whipped cream on top of the tip of each strawberry.

These santa hat holiday jello shots are so much fun this time of year.

Substitutions-

• Jello- You can use any flavor of red jello mix for these!
• Liquor- Any liquor you like can be used to make these shots. Peppermint schnapps would also add a fun twist to this Christmas jello shot recipe. We love using whipped cream vodka or vanilla vodka, too.
• Whipped Cream- You can use canned whipped cream, or a container of cool whip, placed into a piping bag with a star tip.

We are a bit obsessed with themed jello shots for the holidays, and we have so many you can pick from. If you enjoyed this recipe, be sure and check out our other Christmas jello shots-
