Christmas is a magical time of year, especially for kids. And what better way to get them in the holiday spirit than with some fun and easy Christmas cooking ideas?
One of the most iconic Christmas treats are gingerbread cookies. Kids will love helping you mix together the dough and cut out the festive shapes. Once they’re baked, let them decorate with icing and candy for a truly personalized touch.
Another fun idea is to make festive popcorn balls. Mix together popped popcorn with melted marshmallows and butter, then add in some red and green M&M’s for a pop of color. Shape it into balls with your hands and let them set before enjoying.
For a healthier option, try making fruit kabobs shaped like candy canes. Cut up strawberries and bananas, then arrange them in the classic cane shape on a skewer. Serve with some Greek yogurt dip for added protein.
If your child loves hot cocoa, make it extra special by creating a fun hot cocoa bar. Set out small bowls of toppings like mini marshmallows, crushed candy canes, and whipped cream for them to customize their own perfect cup.
And finally, for a creative spin on a classic snack, try making Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer apple slices. Cut apple slices in half and spread peanut butter on the inside. Use pretzels for antlers, a red M&M for the nose, and mini chocolate chips for eyes. It’s a healthier snack that’s still fun and festive!
These Christmas cooking ideas are not only easy and delicious, but also a great way to bond with your kids and create lasting memories. Happy Holidays!
