No.
There's been some post war commemorative medals sold since, look for the 50th anniversary commemorative medal. But no specific operation/campaign medal was issued to combatants

What was the conclusion of the Battle of the Bulge during the years of 1944 through 1945?
The German counter attack came as a great shock. Although the panzer thrusts were of limited strategic value in the long term their penetration of the Allied line was devastating for a time. However ultimately the Germans made no gains whatsoever. I cannot think the Allies were intending to do anything other than wait for the arrival of spring, because Market-Garden (Arnhem) had been a failure & Patton was stalled. General McCauliffes' reply of 'Nuts' has much to commend it. In conclusion it was a surprise, but it really made no difference to the course of the war.
