Santa Deviled Eggs are a festive twist on classic deviled eggs, decorated to look like Santa faces with red pepper hats, parsley beards, and olive eyes. They’re quick, adorable, and perfect for holiday parties or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard)
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
  • 1 small red bell pepper
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 12 small black olive slices
  • 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • Optional: 12 tiny pimento pieces

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan and cover with cold water (about 1 inch above eggs). Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover, turn off heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain hot water and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Cool for at least 5 minutes, then peel under running water.
  3. While eggs cool, finely dice red bell pepper into 12 triangles for hats and 12 dots for noses. Slice olives into 12 rounds for eyes. Chop parsley for beards and hat trim. Soften cream cheese.
  4. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place whites cut-side up on a serving tray.
  5. Mash yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until creamy.
  6. Spoon or pipe filling into each egg white, mounding slightly.
  7. Decorate each egg: place a red pepper triangle hat, dab cream cheese for hat trim and pom-pom, add olive rounds for eyes, red pepper or pimento for nose, and parsley for beard and hat trim.
  8. Chill decorated eggs in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use eggs that are a few days old for easier peeling. Decorations work best when kept small. For dairy-free, use vegan mayo and skip cream cheese. Chill eggs before serving to help decorations stick. Get kids involved for a fun holiday activity.
