No time — or desire — to bake holiday cookies? Sprinkles has a sweet seasonal hack.

Adorably stylish cupcake collections in pretty red boxes make the perfect hostess gift, impressive holiday potluck contribution or festive ending to any celebratory feast.

Most of the eight Red Box Collection assortments include a dozen cupcakes in flavors of the season with Christmas, Hanukkah and other joyful decorations. The Seasonal Dozen, for example, has four Christmas cookie cupcakes, four chocolate peppermint, and four gingerbread.

And if you’re looking for a quick Sprinkles fix, you can get one at the new cupcake ATMs at Westfield UTC, Westfield Plaza Bonita, Westfield North County and Las Americas Premium Outlets.
