What is Christmas without some sort of countdown craft in anticipation for the exciting holiday? Here are instructions for a tasty and decorative Christmas countdown craft!

What You’ll Need for the Christmas Countdown

This simple and easy countdown requires a few materials. Gather together plastic wrap (you’ll need about 5-6 feet depending on how many days your countdown is), ribbon, scissors, and the best part – some small yummy treats! Use whatever tickles your tongue! Candy kisses or small gingerbread cookies work well! You’ll need one treat for each day of the countdown.

How to Put the Christmas Countdown Together

Lay your plastic wrap on a long flat surface. Place each treat about three inches apart down the middle of the plastic wrap. Fold each side of the plastic over the treats, and then tie the ribbons between each candy. It should look like a long chain of candy garland!

Hang your countdown in a prominent place, and each day before Christmas cut off a piece of candy! If there are multiple children counting down, take turns each day! Enjoy a sweet month waiting for Christmas with this fun activity!
