Bring your best homemade Christmas sugar cookies and show off your holiday baking skills at this year's Tree Lighting Festival, December 5! Whether you have a classic family recipe or a creative new creation, we want to see what you can bake. This contest is open to everyone and their sugar cookies (again, feel free to add your twists). Some of the judging categories: flavor, decoration, uniqueness, presentation and just for fun-dunkability!

Participants will have the chance to showcase their cookies, compete for prizes, and spread some holiday cheer throughout the Loveland community. All winners will be announced before the tree is lit on 12/5/26!

All entries must be submitted to City Hall no later than 12/4/26 at noon. Please set aside your best looking top 10 to present to the judges and place the rest in a separate container to show off and share with the community! Be sure to mark both of your disposable containers with your name on the bottom.

So grab your favorite recipe, turn on the oven, and get ready to bake, decorate, and celebrate!
