Candy Themed Christmas Tree

So I am thinking of a candy theme for this year. Something like a Peppermint Twist? What do you girls recommend I use as ornaments? I am thinking candy canes, round peppermint candy, clear christmas balls filled with white and red candy, candy garland? and some ribbons. Anything else?

  • This sounds really cute. I love this idea. Do they make red and white lights? I think that would add some more depth to the tree.

  • I will share with you guys when its up. I would like to have it up by Thanksgiving weekend. I was looking to see when the U-Cuts will start selling and its not until the day after thanksgiving (black friday) I dont know if after all the shopping I am going to want to go cut down a tree (or atleast help DH) I have two dogs. Hopefully I can keep them away from violating my tree :) We will see...Wish me luck girls!

    I am not sure if I will be able to find white and red M&M's by Thanksgiving. Maybe special order them? Any other red and white candys I can fit inside the clear balls?

  • Last year target had lots of candy-themed stuff ("candy" garlands, plastic lollipops, etc.), and i see plastic candy canes (like the twisted glass ones, but plastic) around a lot, so those could be a good addition that will last from year to year.

  • That sounds like really cute idea! Definetly try Target and maybe Michaels or Jo Ann's.

  • For garland, it would look really cute if you got the white sparkly garland and red garland and then twisted them together to then drape around the tree. You could also get some plain white, silver, or red balls and paint twisty stripes on them of the opposite color. I would also intersperse a few solid colored items in red, white, and silver to keep it from being overwhelming.
