Party Menu

Set up a Candy Cane Buffet for the kids to enjoy the party food:

• Use a cookie cutter in a candy cane shape to cut out finger sandwiches like ham and cheese or peanut butter and jelly.
• Set out a cheese ball with crackers and an assortment of veggies and dips.
• A citrus salad
• Set up a brownie station for the kids to assemble their own brownie sundaes. Include crushed candy canes for use as a topping.
• Serve milk and cookies or hot chocolate with candy canes as swizzle sticks.
• Serve snowball cupcakes with or without the coconut.
• Mix cranberry juice with seltzer water for a Christmas punch.

For Snacks:

• Make Snowmen Munchies . Give kids marshmallows and decorations to build a treat. Stack two or three large marshmallows to make a snowman, using a toothpick to hold the marshmallows together. Set out bowls of pretzel sticks for the arms, raisins cut in half for the buttons, candy corn for the nose, and mini chocolate chips for eyes. Cut strips of licorice string to tie around the snowman’s head as the scarf. If necessary, use icing to glue on the decorations.
• Make Reindeer Feed to keep Santa’s Reindeer strong for their upcoming important journey. Set out oats, Chex Mix®, pretzel sticks, etc. in separate bowls and have the kids combine the mix together. They can take a baggie of the feed home with them as well.
