Yes — the official Christmas Cookies website accepts pre-orders for shipment within New Zealand. Munchtime also lists the collection for online purchase. International shipping is not confirmed; however, an Instagram post from cookietime.nz indicates cookies arrived in Australia in late October 2025, so Australian buyers may have local availability.

The trade-off: Buying in-store lets you see the bucket before purchase, but online orders guarantee you don’t miss out if local pop-ups sell out. The 31 October–24 December window is fixed.

Every purchase of Cookie Time Christmas cookies contributes to the Cookie Time Charitable Trust, but the company has not published the exact donation amount per bucket. The trust supports community initiatives across New Zealand.

How much of each sale goes to the Cookie Time Charitable Trust?

This information is not publicly disclosed. The Christmas Cookies site mentions the donation but does not specify a dollar or percentage figure.
