There's lots of delicious food to be had during Christmastime. That's what makes it the most wonderful time of the year, whether you're noshing on candy canes, gingerbread men, mugs of hot chocolate, or freshly baked cookies. Now, here's an inspired idea: What could be more a more delicious sight than a Christmas tree covered in food-themed ornaments top to bottom? That's why we've scoured online for the best food Christmas ornaments.
Food ornaments are fun mainly because they're so collectible! You can shop food ornaments from Sur La Table, Anthropologie, and Food52; there are unique vintage ones, too. It's a no-brainer as a Christmas kitchen decorating idea, especially if you're in need of a Christmas tree theme. And if this decorating idea isn't for you, an ornament always makes a great gift idea. (Most of these you can find as a gift under $10 or under $25.) Just think of your baker friend who's always ready greet you with a plate of cookies—they'll love a pretty raspberry linzer; or think of your neighbor who's shared their garden-fresh veggies with you all year long—odds are, they'll "ooh and ahh" over of a bundle of glittered carrots. A mini gherkin is even great for families who practice the Christmas tradition of the pickle ornament (and if you don't, we'll explain why you should!). Mom might even shed a tear over a cinnamon roll that reminds her of the ones Grandma made at home. And Dad will get a laugh out of the eggs and bacon, since, well, he eats nothing else. 😂
So get ready to deck the halls and trim the tree with, well, anything that looks good enough to eat!
