Christmas Cooking Games


Cooking games bring the family together all year long, but there is something especially special about Christmas and the way it encourages families to come together over little gingerbread men or sugar cookie shapes. Among the favorite Christmas cooking games you’ll find:

Gingerbread Houses – a simple kit can be purchased at the store or you can make your won by baking the gingerbread pieces ahead of time. Use heavy icing as paste to squish everything together and hold it in place. Small candies decorate the gingerbread house along the roofline, windows, doors and elsewhere.

Sugar Cookies – Cutting out sugar cookies and then baking them to be frosted and decorated with bright icing is a Christmas tradition in many families. Make the cutting and decorating a family adventure and then give the cookies as gifts to unsuspecting friends of the family and grandparents.

Fudge – Making fudge can require some heat, so always be with your children while the fudge is cooking. But once it’s off and running, add some walnuts, smooth into a pan and enjoy the delicious rich chocolate treat.
