00:00As a busy mom, the easier, the better, the quicker.
00:07It's really easy. I did those with my daughter as well.
00:11And it's kind of more of like a healthy snack idea, especially for kids.
00:15So that one's very easy and just a little bit different than all the sugar you have to eat all year.
00:20That one I kind of just made on a whim.
00:25It's an idea I had with my mom like as a teenager.
00:29And we were like, oh, if you cut off the stem of a pineapple, it looks like a Christmas tree.
00:33So that one's like my favorite.
00:39That one, my girls definitely love that one the most.
00:43I had pretzels, white chocolate, and peppermint.
00:46If you just stick them together, it can kind of be a little candy cane.
00:52You just have to go buy like a little snack cake from the store.
00:56And so you can put like powdered sugar, all sorts of like candy on top of it to kind of make it look like a little cake.
01:02A lot of people recreated that one.
01:05There was a French club, a high school French club in Texas that actually did that idea of like a little club competition
01:12where you decorate your log and see who did it the best.
01:21You can't go wrong with donuts, the strawberry, and the whipped cream.
01:24That's essentially what it is.
01:31That one, I think I was just excited that I was like, oh, put a little chocolate chip on top of it.
01:36It's a little Santa hat, and you can decorate them on anything.
01:39I think I put them on pancakes.
01:41I'm like, you can eat them as a little snack.
01:43All you needed was raspberries and white chocolate.
01:48I'm a mom, so I'm like thinking like, what would kids eat?
01:53What's a fun party snack for them?
01:55So that's where my mind goes usually.
02:02How can you make a hot dog a little bit more fun and festive, especially for kids?
02:07Well, you could use like the peppermint stick as kind of like a stem and just cover it in whipped cream,
02:12sprinkles, and it's kind of like a white green Christmas tree.
02:16I'm like, well, what would be like a fun way of eating like an appetizer for the holidays?
02:28So I just decided to put like salad in chunks on like a kebab stick with a cheese sauce on top,
02:35so it looks more fun and festive than just a bunch of lettuce and dressing on a plate.
02:41I was just literally making a salad, cutting up a thing of lettuce,
02:46and I cut it just in a way that I'm like, this kind of looks like a Christmas tree if you lay it down right,
02:52because it was just cut like a triangle.
02:54So then I kind of just started to make it a little more festive.
02:57I put like a cheese star and a piece of bacon as a stem.
03:02So like, well, I guess that looks like a Christmas tree with salad.
03:11Yeah, that one definitely had my girls in mind.
03:15They love the Grinch in all the Christmas movies.
03:17So I just make some of their favorite drinks.
03:20I added some strawberry hearts and there you have it.
03:25To be creative, you don't always have to be elaborate.
03:28It can be very straightforward and simple.
03:30You can still have a little moment with your kids if you're very busy and stuff.
03:34So you can create with your family and really bring them together.
03:38I think that's the best part.
