Christmas Snack Table With Christmas Crafts for Kids

When I was a kid, we opened our presents on Christmas Eve. Before we could unwrap anything, though, we all had to eat dinner as a family at my grandma's. Having to wait until after the meal to find out what Santa had brought us was torture.

This year, when I host our Christmas brunch, I'm making sure the kids have a Christmas snack table along with easy Christmas crafts andhot cocoato keep them busy — in case all those toys don't occupy their time.

Setting up the Christmas snack table

Make sure all the activities and snacks are set out and ready for the kids. For activities, these cuteHarry & David printablesare perfect for the season. The older ones can challenge themselves with the word search, while kids of all ages can color their way to the North Pole with Santa and his reindeer. For snacks, we're talking holidayMoose Munch,Christmas cookiesand holiday grahams,wafflesandcakes, andpeppermint bark. And don't forget the hot cocoa topped with whipped cream.

Now that the kids are happy with snacks and crafts, the adults can sit down to talk and enjoy brunch. You may even want to sneak some of the kids' delicious snacks. Or you can enjoy some potable treats of your own, such as this festivespiced pear Bellini.
