A welcome addition to any holiday table, our delicious Rainbow Christmas Wreath is made from Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ white cake, fluffy white frosting, sprinkles and food coloring. Ingredients 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ white cake mix Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box Red and green food color 1 container (12 oz) Betty Crocker™ Whipped fluffy white frosting   Betty Crocker™ Decorating Decors® red, green and white candy sprinkles   Steps Heat oven to 325°F. Generously grease 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with shortening or cooking spray. Make cake mix as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs. Pour half of the batter into medium bowl; set aside. Divide the other half of batter equally between 2 small bowls. (You will be left with 3 bowls of batter.) Add red food color to 1 of the small bowls and mix well. Add green food color to the second small bowl and mix well. Pour half of the white batter from medium bowl into cake pan. Carefully pour red batter over white batter in pan. Carefully pour green batter over red batter. Then pour remaining white batter from medium bowl over the top. Do not mix the colors. Bake as directed on box until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Turn pan upside down onto cooling rack placed over a cookie sheet; remove pan. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Place cake on serving plate. Divide frosting between 2 small microwavable bowls. Microwave 1 bowl on High about 5 to 10 seconds; mix well with spoon until smooth enough to drizzle. With the spoon, drizzle white frosting back and forth around the whole cake in a striping pattern until you use all of the frosting (allow some frosting to drip down onto plate in middle of cake, if desired). Microwave second bowl of frosting; stir in a few drops of green food color. Drizzle over cake, scattering back and forth in the same type of striping pattern. Decorate with sprinkles. Let stand until frosting is set before serving.

Take the mess and stress out of holiday baking with these Easy Christmas Cookies! Here's a traditional family recipe for Christmas cookies requires batter being refrigerated overnight, kneading, lots of flour… then pounds of powdered sugar to make icing that never comes out to quite the right consistency.  With the help of Pillsbury™ Funfetti® Holiday Cake Mix, Holiday Vanilla Flavored Frosting, M&M’s® White Peppermint and M&M’s® Holiday Milk Chocolate, the girls and I mixed, baked and decorated a batch of these Easy Christmas Cookies in just two hours.

The “ugly” sweater project you guys have all been waiting for is here!!! And we went TROPICAL! I’m all about unconventional Holiday traditions, so wrapping a palm tree in Christmas lights seemed right up my alley. Plus, this post gave me an excuse to bust out my pineapple drink cups again. Ha! You can make this sweater in less than an hour, so I expect to see all of you wearing and gifting tropical palm tree sweaters to all of your friends soon! SweaterGreen and brown yarnSize J crochet hookTapestry needleFelt in pink, lilac, orange, yellow, brown, blue, and greenBrown embroidery threadHot glue gun   1. To make the palm trees, we followed this crochet pattern. Double the stitches for the larger palm tree. If you don’t want to crochet the palm trees, cut palm leaves out of green felt and a trunk out of brown felt. 2. To make the Christmas lights, cut teardrop shapes out of different colors of felt. Put a brown felt cap on the top of them. Hot glue all of the lights together on a string of brown embroidery thread. 3. Using pink felt, cut out a silhouette of a flamingo. Add brown felt legs and a small felt santa hat. Hot glue everything together. 4. To assemble the sweater, use fabric glue to attach felt “sand” pieces to the bottom of the sweater. With a tapestry needle, sew the crochet pieces onto the sweater. If you’re using felt for the palm trees, glue them on with fabric glue. 5. Glue the flamingo in place. Drape the Christmas lights over the palm tree trunks and glue them in place. We also placed a string of lights around the neck of the sweater, so glue that in place if you want that addition as well. Allow everything to dry for 24 hours before wearing.

Follow our easy tutorial on how to make origami Christmas trees. If you can fold and cut a piece of paper, you can create a forest of these festive decorations in any size. These folded paper tree creations make for the perfect Christmas Decorations. There are two ways to make a tannenbaum: one with straight edges for a modern look and one with an upturned edge to mimic real branches. ___________________ Suivez notre tutoriel facile sur la façon de fabriquer des arbres de Noël en origami. Si vous pouvez plier et couper un morceau de papier, vous pouvez créer une forêt de ces décorations festives de n'importe quelle taille. Ces créations de sapins en papier plié sont parfaites pour les décorations de Noël. Il y a deux façons de faire un tannenbaum : une avec des bords droits pour un look moderne et une avec un bord relevé pour imiter de vraies branches. MATERIALS / MATÉRIAUX Green paper roll / Rouleau de papier vert STEPS / ÉTAPES Cut paper into squares. For large trees, you will need one 4-by-4-foot square, one 3-by-3-foot square, and one 2-by-2-foot square. For all other smaller trees, one square (of any size) will yield one tree. // Coupez le papier en carrés. Pour les grands arbres, vous aurez besoin d'un carré de 1,5 x 1,5 m, d'un carré de 1,5 x 1,5 m et d'un carré de 2 x 2 m. Pour tous les autres petits arbres, un carré (de n'importe quelle taille) donnera un arbre. Fold paper square corner to corner, producing a triangle. Next, fold that triangle in half to create a smaller triangle. Open the paper back up and fold in half to create a rectangle and then fold the rectangle in half to create a square. Unfold to reveal the crease lines. // Pliez le papier coin à coin, en formant un triangle. Ensuite, pliez ce triangle en deux pour créer un triangle plus petit. Ouvrez à nouveau le papier et pliez-le en deux pour créer un rectangle, puis pliez le rectangle en deux pour créer un carré. Dépliez pour faire apparaître les lignes de pliage.  Next, tuck the two sides towards the center line to create a diamond shape. // Ensuite, replier les deux côtés vers la ligne centrale pour créer une forme de diamant.  Fold in the left and right side flaps to the center line on both sides to form a kite shape. // Repliez les rabats latéraux gauche et droit sur la ligne centrale des deux côtés pour former une forme de cerf-volant.  Taking one side at a time, open the fold and fold the edge inward towards the center of the kite. Repeat with all four flaps. // En prenant un côté à la fois, ouvrez le pli et repliez le bord vers l'intérieur, vers le centre du cerf-volant. Répétez l'opération avec les quatre rabats. Use your scissors to cut off the bottom triangle of the kite shape as shown. Make sure that you are cutting off the open tip and not the folded tip. // Utilisez vos ciseaux pour découper le triangle inférieur de la forme du cerf-volant comme indiqué. Assurez-vous que vous coupez la pointe ouverte et non la pointe repliée.  At this point you can spread out the flaps slightly to create your straight-edged tree. For the folded edge tree, continue on to step 8. // A ce stade, vous pouvez légèrement écarter les rabats pour créer votre arbre à bord droit. Pour l'arbre à bord replié, passez à l'étape 8. Using scissors, cut horizontal lines into each of the 6 flaps. (The size of the lines will vary depending on the size of tree you are making, but we recommend to cut approximately half-way in towards the center of each flap.) // À l'aide de ciseaux, découpez des lignes horizontales dans chacun des 6 rabats. (La taille des lignes variera en fonction de la taille de l'arbre que vous faites, mais nous recommandons de couper environ à mi-chemin vers le centre de chaque rabat). Fold the cut lines down to create small triangles; repeat around all 6 sides of the tree. // Pliez les lignes de coupe vers le bas pour créer de petits triangles ; répétez l'opération sur les 6 côtés de l'arbre.  For large paper trees, once all three squares have been folded into trees, simply stack them one on top of the next (starting with the largest tree on the bottom) to create a tall origami paper tree.  // Pour les grands arbres en papier, une fois que les trois carrés ont été pliés en arbres, il suffit de les empiler l'un sur l'autre (en commençant par le plus grand arbre en bas) pour créer un grand arbre en papier origami.

Did you know that the modern Christmas tree tradition is believed to have begun in 16th century Germany? Small evergreen trees were decorated with candles, apples, nuts, and berries by devout Christians. It took awhile for the Christmas trees to be widely accepted in America, but by the 1890s their popularity was on the rise, with Americans preferring large floor-to-ceiling trees while Europeans tended to have ones that were about 4 feet tall. For our next activity, we’re approaching Christmas trees a bit differently, with links that’ll show kids how to make little trees out of Lego, paper, and more! ---------- Saviez-vous que la tradition moderne du sapin de Noël remonte à l'Allemagne du XVIe siècle? Les petits sapins à feuilles persistantes étaient décorés de bougies, de pommes, de noix et de baies par les chrétiens dévots. Il a fallu un certain temps pour que les arbres de Noël soient largement acceptés en Amérique; dans les années 1890, leur popularité était en hausse, les Américains préférant les grands arbres du sol au plafond, tandis que les Européens avaient tendance à en avoir des arbres d'environ 4 pieds de haut. Notre nouvelle activité sur le thème des arbres de Noël montrera aux enfants comment fabriquer leurs propres arbres en Lego, en papier, et bien plus encore!
