Hello, Christmas Lovers!
Nothing says holiday cheer quite like a Candy Christmas Tree—a fun, colorful, and delicious decoration that’s perfect for parties, gift tables, or just adding a sweet touch to your home this holiday season. Best of all, it’s simple to make and customizable with all your favorite candies!
What You’ll Need
-
A cone base – Styrofoam, cardboard, or sugar cone
-
Assorted candies – Hershey’s Kisses, M&Ms, gummies, peppermint sticks, taffy, and hard candies all work beautifully
-
Toothpicks or hot glue – To attach candies to the cone

Ribbon or garland – Optional for extra festive flair
-
CandyStoreForMe favorites – Try nostalgic candies, seasonal favorites, or bulk candies from your Black Friday haul!
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Choose Your Cone Base
Start with a cone shape as the foundation. Styrofoam is sturdy and easy to poke toothpicks into, while a cardboard cone can work if you’re careful with glue placement.
2️⃣ Sort Your Candy
Arrange candies by color, size, or type. This helps create a more uniform or fun pattern on your tree. Think red and green for a classic look, or rainbow colors for a playful twist.
3️⃣ Attach the Candy
Use toothpicks or hot glue to secure candies to the cone. Start at the bottom and work your way up in layers, overlapping slightly so the cone is fully covered. Mix shapes and colors to make it visually exciting.
4️⃣ Add Special Decorations
Peppermint sticks can act as “trees” on the tree, while ribbon or edible glitter adds sparkle. Top your tree with a star candy or a big chocolate Kiss to finish it off!
5️⃣ Display and Enjoy
Place your Candy Christmas Tree on a table, mantel, or as part of a holiday centerpiece. Not only does it look amazing, but everyone will love nibbling on it throughout the season!
Tips for the Perfect Candy Tree 
-
Mix textures: Combine chewy, hard, and soft candies for a dynamic look.
-
Use seasonal colors: Red, green, white, and metallics make it instantly festive.
