Make Your Own Christmas Trees!
No baking required.

Christmas is special. We relax the rules about sweets and enjoy the fun of decorating and eating. Here's a way you can do both: make edible Christmas trees out of ice cream cones! Use the pointed-type cones, and decorate them with either green or white frosting, and add decorator sprinkles to make them nice and Christmasy. They harden in about a half hour.
If you're using the melted white chocolate to make your tree, don't prepare it in advance. It gets stiff pretty quickly, so prepare it right before creating your holiday masterpieces.
