People Who are Having the Worst Christmas Imaginable

These cookies are giving major Christmas alien energy. What was supposed to be a festive red-and-green swirl turned into radioactive mint dough with surprise cherry chunks that look like they crawled in by accident. And those Hershey’s Kisses on top? They only make the whole batch look more like cartoon eyeballs.

But honestly, this is the kind of holiday baking story families retell forever. Your aunt tried her best, embraced the spirit and unknowingly created a new cookie species. They might not look like cherry blossoms, but they definitely look memorable. In the end, that’s the real holiday magic—delicious or not.
