Cookie Time Christmas Cookies are an iconic Kiwi treat synonymous with New Zealand’s festive season. When the friendly Christmas Cookies seller appears at your workplace, you know Santa can’t be far away!

After 22 years, Christmas Cookies are still a much loved Kiwi Christmas tradition and are sold throughout New Zealand in the six weeks leading up to Christmas.

Each year Cookie Time recruits tertiary students from around the country to be Cookie Time ambassadors who sell and deliver buckets of Christmas Cookies directly to the public at their place of work.

For every Christmas Cookies bucket sold, $1 is donated to the Cookie Munchers Charitable Trust which is committed to help NZ kids discover their gifts. For more info visit: www.cmct.org.nz
