Santa Hat Jello Shots are festive, boozy treats made with strawberry Jell-O, vodka, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries, styled to resemble Santa hats. They’re perfect for holiday parties and are sure to delight guests with both taste and presentation.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 box (3 oz) strawberry Jell-O
  • 1 cup vodka (or flavored vodka or tequila)
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries (or thawed frozen strawberries)
  • 1 can Redi Whip or 1 tub Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions

  1. Boil 1 cup of water and remove from heat.
  2. Add the strawberry Jell-O to the hot water and stir until completely dissolved.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of vodka (or liquor of choice) and mix well.
  4. Use a ladle to fill mini plastic shot cups about 3/4 full with the mixture.
  5. Place cups on a cookie sheet and refrigerate for 4 hours or until fully set.
  6. Hull and clean the strawberries, cutting the tops flat so they sit upright.
  7. Top each jello shot with a dollop of whipped cream.
  8. Place one strawberry flat-side down on top of the whipped cream.
  9. Add a small dot of whipped cream on the tip of each strawberry to complete the Santa hat look.

Notes

  • Whipped cream melts quickly; decorate just before serving.
  • Double the recipe for larger gatherings.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, replace vodka with cold water.
  • Use a piping bag for cleaner whipped cream application.
