It’s shore to be the best Christmas ever! Time to prep and perfect for the heart of the holiday season with effortless ways to entertain and enjoy any event. If you’re looking to bring a little more ‘merry and bright’ to sunny days, then these festive creations will be an instant favorite. Here are four of our top DIY ideas that are just waiting for you to bring them to life.
01
Kiwi Tree
From avocados to apples and cucumbers to kiwis there’s endless green-hued foods to choose from. Simply slice up your pick, arrange the pieces, and present it on our festive Profile Snow Days platter to make an edible evergreen goodie. Don’t forget to garnish with strawberry, cherry, or raspberry accents—dice them small and sprinkle on top for the full Christmas tree effect.
02
Pineapple Centerpiece
Pineapples are the fruit of paradise, so be sure to include them in your décor to invite a warm-weather vibe to the party. They make a great treat when sliced, juiced, or grilled but they’re also an impressive way to set the scene. Their spiky exterior makes for great place to hang ornaments or act as a makeshift ornament tree, so take your pick of Christmas ornaments to combine snowy and summery style. Elevate it even more with personalized ornaments or Christmas figurines to create a chic seating chart or picture-perfect party favors.
03
Candy Cane Freeze
Whether you’re looking to cool off with frozen drink or chill out with a Christmas cocktail here’s a refreshment you won’t be able to resist. Start with a tall glass, we chose our clear Tuscany Stackables for this one so you can see the candy cane colors swirl. Next, add pina colada mix, 5 cups of ice, and 2/3 cup of your favorite rum (or water for a virgin version) to a blender. Repeat the same with strawberry daquiri mix and then pour alternating layers of red and white to create the striped look. Serve immediately and enjoy a seasonal sip!

Snowman Cheese Ball
Mozzarella, feta, cheddar, and cottage cheese—who says you can’t play with your food.
