 A fun activity to try with your kiddos! Arrange 6 mini pretzels twists in a circle with the tops pointing inward. Dip the tops in melted green candy melts or melted white chocolate, then place in a circle so the tops touch. (Don't use alcohol-based food coloring or your chocolate will seize). Repeat with a second layer of pretzels, placing them on top of and in between the first. Decorate with green sugar and holiday M&Ms (we used peanut butter minis). Make a bow with a strand of Twizzlers Pull 'n Peel. Attach with a little white chocolate. | |  Open-faced cucumber sandwiches are a light, festive appetizer for your holiday feasting! Toast 6 slices of bread, then cut off the crust. Spread with herb cream cheese. Thinly slice a cucumber with a mandoline, then arrange 3 pieces so they overlap. Place a piece of toast on top, cream-cheese side down, and trim to fit. Slice in half diagonally, then arrange in a tree shape. Decorate with cherry tomatoes, make a trunk with pretzel sticks, and crown with a star cut out of cheese. |
 Buttery puff pastry with a later of Nutella in between! Roll out puff pastry into a rectangle. Spread a layer of Nutella over half. Fold over, use a rolling pin to seal the layers together, and cut out festive shapes with cookie cutter. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes until golden. | |  Elevate your cocktails with these beautiful ice cubes! Add halved orange slices, pomegranate seeds, and rosemary to a large ice cube mold. Pour in boiled water and freeze. Top with prosecco or seltzer! |
 A cute and easy Christmas breakfast idea! Unroll the cinnamon rolls and arrange in a tree shape, starting with the bottom of the tree. Brush rolls with heavy cream before baking. Add green food coloring to the icing before spreading and add festive sprinkles!
| |  Easy Christmas cocktail for any festivity! Fill a glass with ice. Add 2 oz of Aperol and 1 oz of pomegranate juice. Top with Prosecco and (optional) club soda. CHEERS! |
 Easy, delicious, and would look great displayed for a party! Spread chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting and add coconut for "snow." Use green candy melts to squiggle a tree over pretzel sticks. Add sprinkle ornaments and a mini-M&M star. Top the cupcakes with the trees! | |  Sweet, salty, and a fun holiday treat to share! Everyday chocolate-covered pretzels get a festive holiday update thanks to a duo of white and semisweet chocolate, pure peppermint extract, and a generous sprinkling of crushed peppermint candies.
