This is my first year really out on my own and I can't wait to host my first Christmas part. My parents were never into hosting parties so this is totally new to me but I do have some ideas which I'm going to share.
DISCLAIMER: I have not tested any of these so if it doesn't work don't blame me. Christmas Wreath: I got this idea from a friend who's hosts a Christmas party each year. You would make a rice cripsy treat mix but with cornflakes instead of rice cripsies and add a little green food coloring. What I'm thinking will be best is to add the food coloring to the marshmallow mix first and then add the cornflakes. Then shape it into a circle on a piece of parchment paper (this will let you transfer it onto your serving plate without worrying about making a mess or the wreath sticking) and add and few red hots here and there to look like berries.
Pine cone cheese ball: I got the idea to make my own cheese ball and then shape it into a pine cone and add sliced nuts to the outside to look like a pine cone.
Rice cripsy gingerbread house: I saw the FoodNetWork Challenge were they were building a city out of rice cripsies and got the idea to do the same for my gingerbread house. Last year I got a kit and just felt like I didn't have enough options but I don't fell like I'd be able to correctly bake the gingerbread in the creative shape I want. My solution is to make the house out of rice cripsies, this will let me create any shape I want and to change it at any point because I can just shave it away. I'm also thinking about doing a less traditional design and decorations, but I'm still working on it.
If you have any ideas about what else I could do for my Christmas party please comment.
