About this Event

🎄🍪 The Great YEG Cookie & Square Swap 🍪🎄

🦌🍰Elf status: unlocked. Holiday spirit: maxed.☃️🦌

A festive twist on Edmonton’s sweetest event—because this season deserves more sprinkles, more cheer, and allllll the Christmas baking treats.

This entirely volunteer-run event is hosted by Lunar Hive Baking Co and is all about creating community, spreading kindness, and raising funds for our neighbors in need. All proceeds (after covering essential costs like the venue + supplies) go directly to the @yegfoodbank💕

❄️ How it Works:

You bring:

* A minimum of 2 OR 3 dozen festive baked goods: cookies, squares, tarts, cupcake, fudge, cupcakes, s candies, or desserts (bring one kind or a mix—it’s up to you!)

*If you want to leave with 2 dozen assorted treats bring a minimum of 2 dozen, if you want to leave with 3 dozen assorted treats bring a minimum of 3 dozen.

*Want to bring more than the minimum? We would absolutely LOVE that and you're definitely on the Nice List 🎅🤶

* Generously portioned treats (1 cookie ≈ 2 small candies like caramels, truffles, or pretzels). When filling your box, treats that are smaller will be clearly labelled that 2 of the smaller treats count as 1 cookie.

*You must bring a written name + description of your baking + any allergens (ex. tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, etc.). Please bring this with you to speed up check-in (it doesn't have to be fancy!)

Your ticket + your individuality portioned treats (equivalent of 2 or 3 dozen cookies or squares) = entry

We provide:

* An official YEG Holiday Cookie & Square Swap box for you to fill with assorted goodies.

* Tongs for each platter/box to keep things tidy + avoid cross contamination. * A festive, cozy space to mingle, swap, and spread cheer.

* We have some super sweet local collabs to announce that will make this event one to remember!

✨ If you bring 2 dozen, you’ll leave with a minimum of 2 dozen assorted treats. Bring 3 dozen? You’ll leave with a minimum of 3 dozen! Choose to enjoy them immediately or (pro-tip) freeze them for your holiday parties.

🎅 Schedule:

We’re hosting **two waves** so more of you can join the fun:
