Christmas is only a few days away, and this week we have some super cool party ideas to help you keep the kids entertained during the Holidays! Starting with today's Elf Bakery Shop - A Cookie Decorating Party. Crissy and I worked in collaboration for three Holiday themed printable party collection this winter, including this red and green Elf Printable Party Kit. I LOVED designing those little elves for her, and as always, she did an incredible job styling it all!

Then Pin it! :) Red and white is one of my fave color palettes for Christmas, and today I'm sharing THE best DIY Christmas party ideas, recipes and tutorials from some of the most creative bloggers around. All in red and white, and handmade of course! Hope you feel inspired to have a go at something crafty this Christmas! There's a red and white idea for everyone - from recipes to DIY decor, handmade gifts and party styling!
An Italian Red & White Holiday Dinner Party
There's nothing better than celebrating the Holiday Season with an elegant dinner party for friends and family. And this stunning dinner party styled by the fabulously talented Mariah from Giggles Galore, appeals to me on so many levels. Least of all because of my Italian roots and love of all things pasta! :) Mariah styled this dinner party for Bird's Party Magazine last year , and she used our Winter Wonderland Printables for the tablescape, the pasta buffet and the desserts tables. I just LOVE how she customized the designs with ribbon and glitter sparkle!! ♥
White Chocolate and Peppermint Bark Recipe
This one really is totally last minute - Tried and tested! I was invited to an impromptu dinner party on the weekend, and was caught short on gifts, so I took a bottle of wine (of course, that I have in stock, no problem!) and a little box of homemade White Chocolate and Peppermint Bark - So yum and festive, no-one need know it took less than 10 minutes to make! ;)
Hot Cocoa Mix Gift in a Jar with Free Printable Gift Tags
Since this week's been all about Hot Cocoa , I thought a befitting gift or favor idea would be a jar of homemade hot cocoa mix for guests to enjoy at home. It's quick and inexpensive, tastes yummy and looks so cute. Perfect gift, did you say?! ;) Oh yeah, and there are some freebies for you to download to go along with your little jar of sweetness!
Bar carts are bang on trend right now, and I just can't get enough of them! They're perfect for so many occasions and events, and for the Christmas Holidays I love the idea of a Hot Cocoa Bar Cart. So I styled this quick one over the weekend using some of Bird's Party Hot Cocoa Bar printables .

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!
How to Make DIY Chocolate Covered Oreos
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! ;)
