Crumbl Review: The Cookie That Stole Christmas
This one is very clearly designed to be the “fun” cookie of the week — the one that leans heavily into the holiday theme, both visually and flavour-wise. It’s bright, playful, and meant to stand out, but with cookies like this, the real question is always whether it actually delivers beyond just looking festive.
The base of the cookie is soft and slightly chewy, sitting somewhere between a sugar cookie and a lightly flavoured vanilla cookie. It’s not overly dense, and it doesn’t crumble apart, which makes it easy to eat and keeps the structure solid even with all the toppings going on.
Flavour-wise, it leans sweet but not aggressively so. It’s more of a classic, approachable sweetness rather than something rich or complex. That works in its favour because it allows the toppings and mix-ins to actually come through instead of everything blending into one overly sugary bite.
The toppings are what define this cookie. You’ve got a mix of textures — some crunch, some smooth elements — and that contrast keeps it interesting. Instead of just being a flat cookie, it actually has some variation in each bite, which makes it feel a bit more interactive.
What I like about this one is that it doesn’t try to be overly rich. A lot of the holiday cookies this week lean heavy, but this one stays lighter and more snackable. You could realistically eat the whole thing without feeling like it’s too much, which isn’t always the case with Crumbl.
That said, it’s definitely more about the experience than the flavour depth. It’s good, it’s enjoyable, but it’s not the most memorable cookie in terms of taste. It’s more of a fun, seasonal option than a standout.
Final Verdict:
A fun, festive cookie that focuses more on the holiday experience than bold flavour. Easy to enjoy, but not the strongest flavour-wise.
