Holiday Candy Canes Are Festive and Fun

Candy canes are everyone's favorite holiday treat. Just think about how versatile they are. Not only do candy canes look great hanging from Christmas trees, but their versatility makes them perfect for all kinds of decorative uses.

Candy canes can be crushed or used whole in holiday arts and crafts projects. How about adding candy canes to your homemade holiday gift baskets?

Peppermint candy canes are usually red and white, but they can also be found in fun colors like red, green and white, and also flavors like orange, cherry, and even chocolate!

You can find candy canes sprinkled inside of cookies and other delicious Christmas recipes.

Candy canes make great ornaments. You can buy real ones and hang them around the house or the plastic version works fine too.

To create a festive mood on the holiday dinner table you can put out a couple of candy cane candles.

Got a wreath? Stick a few candy canes inside and watch your guests smile. Candy canes always seem to make people happy.

Mini candy canes can be crafted into a candy cane tree and used as a centerpiece. Another fun idea is to make your own candy cane pins and hand them out as gifts or stocking stuffers.

Some people even put large candy cane decorations outside of their houses. Some of these giant candy cane replicas even light up inside!

No matter how you enjoy candy canes, they are sure to make your holiday celebrations much more delightful.
