Little Debbie has been pumping out Christmas Tree Cakes since 1985. These golden tree-shaped cakes have been on shelves as long as Marty McFly’s been driving the Delorean, and we’ve never gotten tired of them. In recent years, Little Debbie has gotten exotic with the CTC branding—lending it to candles, inflatables, and now coffee creamer. Yes, I got my hands on a carton of Christmas Tree Cakes Coffee Creamer. Thankfully, I was just sent a snazzy coffeemaker (stay tuned to Sporked for my full review); let’s brew a pot and see if we can turn it into a winter wonderland.
Pros: The aroma is dead on. If you have any familiarity with Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, you’ll know this is right from the moment you open the carton. The creamer manages to replicate the richness of a golden cake without the yeast factor—no small feat. While it imparts a powerful, authentic flavor, a standard serving of creamer doesn’t completely bury the coffee flavor. (That’s a positive or a negative depending on your taste.) Even if you aren’t a Little Debbie cake enjoyer, this sweet vanilla creamer is going to pass muster.
Cons: This stuff is strong, folks. My partner’s standard splash of creamer had the mug looking like a latte in no time flat. If you’re usually a cream-and-sugar enjoyer, take a sip before you add any sugar—the creamer’s sweetness and flavor might do the job on its own.

Where can I get Christmas Tree Cakes Coffee Creamer?
I’ve seen this on shelves at Kroger, Meijer, and more. I’m genuinely a fan of Little Debbie’s approach to this one—no collab with a big creamer brand, no expensive plastic jug, just a simple carton that is dead-on accurate to the snack cake packaging.
Will you be pouring liquid Christmas Tree Cakes into your coffee this season?
