In a large bowl, beat butter with Truvia® Sweet Complete™ until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
Alternately add dry ingredients and milk into butter mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix in sour cream until smooth.
Fill cupcake liners about two-thirds full with batter.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
For frosting, beat butter until creamy, then gradually add Truvia® Confectioners sweetener, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Divide frosting and tint with gel colors to resemble ornaments. Frost cooled cupcakes and add decorations as desired.
