Christmas Crafts Made With Candy

What to use Christmas candy crafts for?

  • Serve them at holiday parties with Christmas rice krispie treats. Guests will certainly be impressed!
  • Make them for school parties during the holidays and enjoy them before or after the activities.
  • As art activities for your 12 Days of Christmas activities for homeschoolers.
  • Wrap them up nicely and give them as gifts to friends, families, or classmates. They will definitely love the creativity and thoughtfulness.
  • Use them as a fun budget friendly holiday activity and craft for the kids to put together.

One of my favorite things about these candy gifts is that you can generally get almost all of the supplies at your local Dollar Tree. That makes them inexpensive to make and your gift recipient will love them!
