I love making trifles for parties because they are so easy to make and you can add or change any the ingredients to fit the occasion. Below you will find all the ingredients you need along with step-by-step instructions on how you can make this for your next party!

Christmas Trifle Ingredients:

  • 1 Box of Red Devil Cake Mix {or homemade, sorry Im not much of a baker!}

  • 1 Container of Cool Whip or 2 small containers

  • 2 Large Boxes of Chocolate Pudding

  • Optional - Candy Canes & Sprinkles

To start the Christmas trifle you will need to bake the cake and let cool.  Next, prepare the pudding and chill. I recommend using the instant pudding because it is easier and faster.

Since this trifle only has 3 layers that is all the work you will have to do to get started. You are now ready to start the layer in your trifle bowl.

I like to start with the cake at the bottom so that it provides a base and it makes it easier to serve. I normally just crumble up the cake when I make the layers, but you can cut pieces and stick them into the bowl for each layer too. Here are the layers I did:

  1. A layer of Red Devil Cake

  2. A layer of Chocolate Pudding

  3. A layer of Cool Whip

  4. Repeat

  5. Top it off with Cool Whip and sprinkles/candy canes

  6. Enjoy!

I  added some candy canes to the sides and to the top. I would not put too many pieces of the candy cane on top though because they are very hard compared to the texture of the trifle.
