The holiday season is all about gathering with loved ones, sharing stories, and creating memories—and what better way to add a little extra magic than with candy?
Whether you’re hosting a party, having a cozy night in, or looking for new traditions, these six fun and unique activities will have you celebrating the season in the sweetest way possible. From a DIY hot chocolate bar to crafting your own candy garland, here are the ultimate ways to turn up the holiday cheer!
Hot Chocolate Bar with Candy Toppings
Set up a hot chocolate bar with an assortment of toppings, including mini marshmallows, whipped cream, and, of course, candy! Add Sweet Stacks, and Cotton Candy Bombs to create unique flavour combinations. It’s a delicious way for guests to customize their cozy drinks.
Charcuterie Candy Board + Holiday Story Sharing
Craft a colourful candy charcuterie board where guests bring their favourite candies to “dump” and create a beautiful spread. Pair this with a holiday story-sharing session where everyone talks about a favourite holiday tradition or memory. This sweet setup is perfect for gatherings and creates a fun new tradition for everyone to enjoy. Grab a CandyGram for the ultimate pour!
Pop-Soaked, Frozen Gummies
Dive into the viral pop-soaked gummy trend! Soak your gummies in fizzy pop, let them sit for about 30 minutes, or overnight for the best results, and then freeze them. The gummies expand with fizzy goodness and make for a super fun, chewy treat with a bit of a slushy crunch. Perfect as a refreshing snack during when trying something cool with the kids! Grab a Candy Bag for the perfect sampling of gummy treats to try out!
Chocolate Fondue with Gummy Dipping
Elevate your chocolate fondue game by including a variety of candies for dipping! Gummy Bears, sour belts, and even Novelty Goodies bring unexpected flavours and textures to melted chocolate. Guests can get creative with their choices, and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at any holiday party. Grab a Candy Basket and get a mix of delicious treats to try out!
Holiday Bingo with Candy Markers
Make your holiday movie night interactive with a festive game of Holiday Bingo! Use small candies as bingo markers and fill the card squares with classic holiday movie moments. Each time someone marks off a square, they can snack on the candy. It’s a fun and tasty twist on a classic holiday game.
