When decorating keep it simple with a red and white color scheme. You could place candy canes in a vase on the table and hang lots of red and white balloons. Or purchase a couple of these giant candy cane balloons to hang over the table. Use a white table cloth with red cups and plates and scatter candy canes around. Or set up a couple of small Christmas trees and hang candy canes from their branches. Be sure to include a candy cane wreath on your front door.

Candy Cane Party Games

Here are a few of our favorite Candy Cane games. These will keep your party guests entertained and having fun. Love the idea of having the games themed to the Candy Cane Party Theme

Pass the Gift

Wrap up a gift and have everyone sit in a circle. Print out the ‘pass the parcel‘ game and follow the instructions. Whoever ends up with the gift at the end of the game can unwrap it and take the gift home.

Candy Cane Face

All guests start balancing a candy cane on their forehead. Then they must move the candy cane down into their mouth without using their hands. If the candy cane falls off their face they must start again. It sounds easy but the awkward shape of the candy cane makes this more difficult

Candy Cane Fishing

Holding a candy cane in your mouth, try to pick up as many candy canes as you can, and no hands allowed. Race each other to see who can get the most in the fastest time

Candy Cane Wrap

Divide your guests into teams and each team chooses one person to be the ‘candy cane’. The idea is to wrap the ‘candy cane person’ up with red and white crepe paper. The first team to complete their striped candy cane wins

Find the Candy Cane

This game is fun but can get messy. Break a candy cane into 3 pieces. Put the pieces onto a plate and cover with whipped cream. You must find all three pieces of candy without using your hands. First person to find them wins

Candy Cane Bark

Candy Cane or peppermint Bark is a really easy treat to make and you can just snap it in to pieces and then the guests can grab a little piece.

Candy Cane Cake Pop

We love cake pops for Parties as they are great for the kids to help with and as they are bite sized the kids love to eat them too, every party we host they go first. These candy cane ones are made the same as other cake pops you just need to use white icing and then roll them in crushed up candy canes. If you can get these cute red and white popsicle sticks then that is awesome to add to the theme
