I LOVE thinking of new, special ways to make food fun for my children. It makes the food taste better somehow. Yes, honestly! :) Here are a few really fun, easy to make and super cute  Rudolph Inspired Recipes  that I came up with for this photo shoot styled HGTV .

As promised, this is the second of the Holiday parties I styled for HGTV this year - A Rudolph Inspired Fondue Party  . Honestly had a blast styling this party and is now one of my faves because of that! :) Again, I designed a full printable party collection for this party, which you can download for FREE from the HGTV site here (tutorials and recipes links below). The collection includes printable candy bar invitations, cupcake toppers, favor tags, reindeer antlers, buffet labels, buffet cards, and all the party printable you need to style your own version at home!

Chocolate Covered Oreos have been a permanent fixture on desert tables now, and I usually get my designer Oreos from either of my two favorite vendors: Sweeties by Kim or  Sweet Temptations. But for this handmade party I styled  for HGTV , I forgot to order in advance and had to make my own... Mine are nooooo way near as fabulous as the ones from the vendors above, but they tasted pretty yummy, and very handy when you're in a pinch! ;)

Gifts with a handmade touch to delight the eyes and taste buds are always the best kind, don't you think?! :) Here are some suggestions of easy, inexpensive and totally deeeee-lish recipes that you can make for your loved ones this Christmas + FREE 'Handmade' printable gift tags  to adorn your packaging:

The last of our three  Kids' Holiday Tables was inspired by cute penguins, so naturally the color scheme was black and white , with splashes of bright yellow to warm things up! I wanted to create a more sophisticated and modern looking table, whilst keeping the styling fun for the kids - A good balance for those who love to entertain in style, even for little guests! ;)

Following on from our first styled table yesterday , this is our Crafty Snowman Kid's Holiday Table . Check out all the crafty, FUN and DIY party decorations details below, in red and teal - perfect creative party table for your Christmas Holiday celebrations and dinners!

Holiday is a time to get the family around and enjoy the company of our loved ones. At some point during the Holiday season, you're bound to sit down for a meal and find little kids among you. So, how to keep them entertained and amused during the meal without breaking a sweat? And no, your fabulous carving skills may not do the trick here... The answer is to create a special table just for them! Check out the first of three Kids' Holiday Table ideas I styled for the winter issue of  ' Yum Food and Fun for Kids ' magazine - inspired by candy off course! ;)

Beyond excited to finally get to share one of the two parties I styled for HGTV this year - A Handmade Holiday Party! I designed a full printable party collection for this party, which you can download for FREE from the HGTV site here  (tutorials and recipes links below). The collection includes printable invitations, menu card, cupcake toppers, favor tags, dessert banners and dessert buffet labels, buffet cards, place cards, cupcake wrappers, drinks flags and all the party printable you need to style your own version at home!

I ♥ cookies, but am no cookie-decorating doyenne, so when Mars asked to bake some Tasty Table Lights cookies using  M&M'S® Chocolate Candies Holiday Blend , I jumped at the chance! I mean, how cute to these look?! So yummy too! Not to mention easy to make, so even a child could do it! ;) These cookies would also be great for a cookie exchange party, and I can see them becoming a favorite tradition in our home for the Holidays! ;)

Following on from the yesterday's White Christmas Tablescape , here are the recipe I created for the White Party Menu: Starter, Main and Desserts - Yes, you gotta have at least two!! It's Christmas after all! :) These are tried and tested, easy to make, inexpensive and so yummy! Now, I'm itching to do other monochromatic menus like red, orange and green....

I styled for and photographed this White Winter Wonderland  party last year for Bird's Party Magazine Winter 2011 issue , but never got round to sharing the extra photos, nor the white menu I created!  This was one of my fave parties to style, so serene and magical - Makes a nice change from my usual colorful tablescapes! Hope you enjoy the ideas, and come back tomorrow for the white recipes! :)

I love using crepe in my party tables too , it's so versatile and inexpensive! But this tutorial is even simpler than using double-sided tape, and this cute table runner can be made in minutes - only requiring 3 craft materials! The ruffle table runner adds a nice texture and dimension to the table. Here is what you will need to make your own no-sew ruffle table runner...

Are you looking forward to Christmas yet? I personally have been in the Holiday mode since May this year! Yes, no kidding!! :)  Earlier this year, I was fortunate enough to get to design two fun Holiday party printable collection exclusively for HGTV (yes, pinch me!) - The photos along with the  FREE party printables I designed are now live on their site, and was so excited to tell you guys but promise a full post later, ok? ;)

These adorable little mugs of hot cocoa are super easy to make! This one was actually my (Crissy here) daughter's idea!  She spotted this idea in her American Girl Magazine! We did a twist and dipped the whole marshmallow into chocolate! YUM!!

Mince pies are a British Christmas classic, and a real tradition in our home every year. I've also been known to make some extras to give away for family and friends as Christmas Gifts! My little cheat here is to use ready-rolled, shop-bought puff pastry - Saves a heap of time and tastes just as great!! ;)
