When we were little we would spend Thanksgiving at my Grandma's house and everyone would spend Christmas at my parents house. Even though it was Thanksgiving, my grandma would always have all her Christmas decorations out for us to enjoy. Her house was always so beautiful and it felt like the official start to Christmas.
Now it feels like Thanksgiving is so close to Christmas that we don't get to celebrate Christmas enough. This year there is only 29 days until Christmas after Thanksgiving Day! That is going to go fast!
We always put up a Christmas tree, a nativity scene, stockings, and random Christmas decorations. I am not very crafty - but we always try to make something each year. Every year we make tons of cookies - more than we can eat and share. It is so much fun to share these memories with my kids.
When we were in Walmart there was a whole section of Hallmark Northpole items. There were so many items to help us make memories with our kids this year. And it doesn't matter that I'm not crafty! Of course I had to pick up a few items that we enjoyed this weekend.
Snow Now! Instant snow: just add water and a little magic ($4.88)
Since we live in Florida - our kids have never really played with snow. This was a lot of fun and we didn't have to get all bundled up for a little snow fun!
We love to bake cookies! So we picked up Bake Like an Elf Baking Tools with recipe cards ($14.88). You can never have too many items to help bake cookies! It came with "elf" measuring tools: a boot (½ cup), a mitten (¼ cup) and jingle bell (1 teaspoon) and 5 recipe cards. What was really cute was that it had "elf" instructions. So it says a boot of sugar instead of ½ cup of sugar. My kids had a blast making cookies with these. They will be perfect for making cookies for Santa!
We also played with the Peppermint Ring Fling Game ($9.88) and the Magic snowball ($2.97 - Walmart promo price). We had so much fun and everything was so affordable! If you have noticed the adorable Christmas hat she has been wearing - it is actually part of the Ring Fling game. Kids can find extra fun with everything!
If you are looking for some fun ways to get ready for Christmas - you must find the Hallmark Northpole aisle at Walmart! You can find story books, A Santa communicator, Santa Goggles with map and activities, Sprinkles, cookie cutters, Giftable Mug , Nesting Bowls, and so many more items! It's really easy to find - just look for the giant banner that says Hallmark Northpole and you can find all these really cool items! You won't spend a fortune and you will create many memories with your kids!
What are some of your family's holiday traditions?
That is a very cute new line of products, but frankly we have enough going on with the EOTS to add in anything else at the moment.
My son is obsessed with snow, and where we live it's hit or miss. I love that instant snow...fun without the bundled up kids. 🙂
My youngest is already having me read his Hallmark books and asking about the North Pole Communicator we purchased last year. Jingle the Pup is our holiday favorite story!
I want to bake like an elf! If elves use boots for measuring it's no wonder Santa wants other people's cookies.
So cute and fun! My kids are obsessed with elves so they'd want to do this too! We do Elf on the Shelf. Ours is different though. He doesn't report bad behaviour to Santa, he is at our house to learn how to be a good little elf and my kids show him how to be good;)
Lots of Christmas fun going in already at your house! I need to get some snow to change our Florida version (sand)
Hallmark has the cutest stuff, including that fake snow! I love those pictures of your girls!
What a great line of Christmas activities. The baking like an elf one is adorable!
I love the bake like an elf kit. How cute that it comes with "elf" instructions!
Oh my goodness I would get lost in those isles, I wouldn't want to leave, I love Christmas things the Rudolph bits are too cute <3.
I love the fake snow! I live in Illinois so we see MORE THAN ENOUGH snow, but it's great for those that live in warmer weather.
How cute are those. I love Hallmark products!
The bake like an elf kit is really cute. The instant snow looks like a lot of fun too.
Your girls are so adorable, I got to Hallmark a lot during the holidays!
Oh my gosh! How adorable! I love Hallmark and these products are so fun!
Can't wait to bake like an elf! I just love these toys!
Precious memories: My kids love baking too. It is one of our holiday traditions. These Hallmark products are so much fun
Your girls are so cute! We like to bake cookies on Christmas Day and watch the Doctor Who marathon on TV. The Hallmark Nothpole items are so cute.
I love Hallmark! I was really impressed with all the Christmas goodies they had!!
my daughter loves to bake with me. she helps me cook at thanksgiving and christmas. I love that.
What fun ideas!! We lack for snow in our area so we may have to just make some like this!
Hallmark has a nice variety of items. But in all honesty, i love their collections the best! I really like having a yearly Christmas ornament.
I actually saw these at my local Walmart just recently and was thinking of picking up a few things. We usually have eggnog and sing carols the day before Christmas.
My mother uses the fake snow. I need to up my decorating skills I am not up to par. Thanks for sharing this. MY boys would love this
These are all sooooo cute! It looks like they will be the perfect addition to your traditions! We always bake a ton, too! #client
We had so much fun!
