The Christmas countdown has begun! Delight your family with this quick candy jar; guaranteed they’ll be nibbling from it all holiday season.

I hot-glued a black ribbon (meant to mimic Santa’s belt) around a mason jar. I added a pretty snowflake decal in the center, but if you want it to look even more like Santa, use a gold buckle!

Now fill the jar with red or green candies. Red licorice were a dark, Holly berry-colored option.

I plan to find brighter red candies later in the month so it looks like Santa’s big coat! But meanwhile there were no complaints from my happy nibblers.
