O Christmas Tree… Christmas trees are on my mind lately. Do your kids ask to put theirs up right after Thanksgiving?

I noticed a lot of Christmas trees and decorations went up right after the turkey was eaten this year. We even saw a multitude of beautiful twinkling lights on our travels up north this holiday. Something about a dusting of snow, crisp night air and Christmas lights.

After spending most of my childhood putting up our tree two days before Christmas (and taking it down about a week later), my family has a new tradition of putting up ours at the very end of the Thanksgiving holiday.

I hate waiting that one extra week, so I usually try to sneak it up on Sunday once quiet has taken over the house once again. (I’ll admit in college I used to put in up right after Halloween… yes I was one of them.)

This year, to make celebrate the tree decorating fun, Little Bug and I created this kids Christmas craft. Lollipop Christmas trees.

They will also double as gifts for her friends at school for the holidays, but for right now that have taken over the studio and seem to quieted the questions about Christmas trees. These adorable and yummy little Christmas trees would also be great for Christmas party favors or as treats for the neighbors this holiday.

What Kind of Lollipops Do I Need to Use?

My favorite part about this Christmas treat is the lollipop. It’s such a simple, not cookie, surprise for someone special.

For these lollipop Christmas trees, I used these red and green sphere shaped gourmet lollipops. The colors are festive and the size is perfect. (affiliate)

They have a candy apple flavor that’s delicious and reminds me of the county fair. Kids (and adults) are sure to enjoy this sweet treat.

Or you can use any flavor lollipop that you choose – as long as it is sphere shaped and medium sized. The ones from Original Gourmet Lollipop are our favorites. You can find them in bulk here. (affiliate)
