I thought it would be fun to do a whimsical mantle decoration this year. We love watching the Nutcracker every year during the Christmas season, and this mantle reminds me of The Land of Sweets.
Candy cane striped candles anchor the greenery, which has been lightly sprayed with “canned snow”. Candy ornaments are stuck among the branches, with many dangling down. The four gingerbread cookies are each painted with the names of our four sons.
I’ve collected these ornaments over time, but I believe you can find some ribbon candy ornaments and gingerbread-inspired ornaments at Cracker Barrel.
The children love this festive, fun mantle decoration and so do I!
