Place the Oreos on a fork and dip into the melted chocolate. Turn to coat completely in chocolate. When the entire cookie is covered with chocolate, lift it out using the fork. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl and let the excess chocolate drip off.
Using a toothpick, slide the Oreo onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining Oreos.
To Make the Santa Suit Oreos:Let the red candy coating harden completely before decorating. Using the gel writer or a fine paint brush with black icing, draw a line across towards the lower center of the Oreo to make the belt.Add a dab of melted chocolate to 1 mini yellow M&M to make the belt buckle then make the buttons by piping on dots or using sugar pearls.
To Make the Polar Bear Oreos:While the white chocolate is still hot, place 2 white chocolate candy wafer melts for the ears and 1 for the nose before pressing 1 brown mini M&M for the tip of the nose.
To Make the Oreo Reindeer:While the milk chocolate is still hot, place 2 candy eyes for eyes and 1 red mini M&M as the nose. Add 2 pretzels to the top for antlers. Let set completely. Repeat with remaining Oreos.
To Make the Sprinkled Oreo Cookies:While the chocolate is still hot, sprinkle with festive sprinkles. Let set completely.
