Run the cookie swap from the same list
A holiday party list works best when savory and sweet are separate. The template starts with appetizers, a baked ham or main, sides and a holiday salad, then a sweets section with a cookie swap line, pies, fudge and a hot chocolate bar. For the swap, ask each guest to bring a dozen and a copy of the recipe, and set the number wanted to match how many people are coming.
Supplies matter more than people think: cookie boxes for the swap, name tags and a bag for a gift exchange. Add a drinks section with cider or eggnog, wine or punch and coffee. If the guest list is mixed, a custom question about allergies keeps the sweets table safe for everyone.

Quick answers
How many cookies should each person bring?
A dozen per guest is the usual swap rule, and each person takes home a dozen of mixed cookies. Set the cookie line to the number of guests.
Can I use this for a workplace holiday lunch?
Yes. The office holiday potluck template adds allergy tags and a supplies line, and works well for a team channel.
Do guests need to make an account?
No. They open the link, type their name and claim a spot. An email address is optional and only used if they want a reminder.
