Can I use different cookies?

Absolutely! Vanilla Oreos are classic, but peppermint Oreos or even golden sandwich cookies work beautifully.

Can I make this No Bake Christmas Cookie Lush ahead of time?

Yes! In fact, it’s better when chilled overnight. Talk about a gift to your future self.

What can I substitute for whipped topping?

Homemade whipped cream works—just make it on the stiffer side so your layers hold up.

How do I store leftovers?

Keep it chilled in an airtight container for up to 4 days. (Good luck keeping it around that long.)

Definitely. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge when you’re ready to serve.

Instructions

Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper (optional).
Crush 36 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter and ½ tablespoon sprinkles. Press firmly into the bottom of the dish to create a crust.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract until smooth.
Fold in one tub of whipped topping along with ½ tablespoon sprinkles. Spread this mixture evenly over the crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the cheesecake pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Stir in ½ tablespoon sprinkles.
Spread the pudding layer over the cream cheese layer.
Top with the remaining tub of whipped topping.
Crush the remaining 12 Oreo cookies and sprinkle over the top along with the remaining sprinkles.
Chill for at least 4 hours or freeze for firmer slices.
Slice and serve.

Notes

Make ahead the night before for the best texture and easiest slicing.
Crushed candy canes make a fun, pepperminty topping.
Keep refrigerated until serving to maintain structure.

Freezes well for up to 2 months—thaw in the refrigerator.
