    Healthy Santa Hats that you Can Eat!

    This edible craft involves three ingredients: strawberries, bananas, and whipped cream. That's it! It's really that simple! These make such a beautiful treat for holiday gatherings. The best part is you won't feel bad about your kids indulging in these Strawberry Santa hats, since they are made of fruit!

    Kids can Make these Santa Hats on their own!

    The kids made this 100% edible craft for dessert after having our festive Mini Reindeer Christmas Burgers. This craft is so easy that I really didn't need to step in much. I simply showed the kids an example and they did the rest on other own.

    Note: Since whipped cream can melt quickly, I recommend putting these together right before serving. If they stand too long, they tend to fall apart.

    Add More Sweetness to Your Strawberry Santa Hats

    There are also tons of other strawberry Santa hat recipes out there worth checking out, like Mama Cheap's Brownie Bite Santa Hat Strawberries and A Cowboy's Life Blog's Santa Cheesecake Hats. If you want a sweeter, more sugary treat, other dessert items can be added in the place of the banana, like marshmallows, brownies, or mini cheesecakes. Likewise, frosting or melted white chocolate can be used in place of whipped cream.

    We love Cute Christmas Desserts!

    The snowman craft would be a fun activity for holiday parties or playdates, and it makes great party favors (in non-Covid times, of course).
