Decorating for a Warm Weather Christmas

When it comes to celebrating a warm-weather Christmas, there are plenty of options available. You can decorate for a Christmastime party or simply enjoy family time together. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Start with a festive centerpiece. Choose a large container that can hold all of your holiday decorations and fill it with fresh flowers, brightly-colored berries, and nuts. Add sparkling candy canes to the top for extra festive flair.
• Hang garland around the door and window frames. Make sure to include ivy and mistletoe if you’re planning on including romantic elements in your decoration scheme.
• Set up a big buffet table filled with hors d’oeuvres, colorful salad fixings, and warm bread and pastries. Drape an afghan over one end of the table for added comfort during these chilly winter days.
• Create an outdoor igloo out of snow blocks or foam sheets and COVER IT IN Wreaths! This is such a fun project for kids (and adults). Bonus points if you can find an old sheet cake to use as the igloo’s base!
• Try out some festive DIY décor using items you already have in your home: craft sticks covered in electrical tape make great garlands; empty jars filled with greenery or sweet treats can serve as vases; string

Cooking for a warm weather Christmas

If you’re hosting a Christmas dinner this year, there are a few things you need to know about dressing and cooking for a warm weather Christmas. When it’s hot outside, you don’t want to waste your time in the kitchen trying to create an elaborate dish that will be disappointing when served cold.

Instead, choose dishes that are easy to prepare and can be enjoyed right away. And if you’re baking, try using ingredients that will keep well in the fridge or freezer, such as fruit preserves or chilled whipped cream. Here are some ideas for festive eats:

• Grilled cheese sandwiches: This classic sandwich can be made with any kind of cheese, and is perfect when served on fresh bread with a side of fruit or pickles.
• Scones: A scone is just a dense biscuit that’s baked on a griddle instead of in an oven, making it ideal for summer days when the oven isn’t available. Try adding blueberry or raspberry jam for extra sweetness and flavor.
• Fruity salads: A salad can easily become heavy during the winter months; make sure to include light but delicious ingredients like berries, diced fruits, nuts, and crumbled feta cheese to keep it healthy yet flavorful.
• Cobb salad: This classic American dish is perfect for those who love protein and crunchy textures. Traditionally, cobb salad includes bacon (or not), avocado, tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and shredded lettuce.
