You're going to love how easy these Christmas treats in a can are to make! One of my readers left me a comment mentioning a fun activity her family does each year. Each year take a walk (or drive) around your neighborhood and vote for the house with the best Christmas decorations- choose a top 3 or 5 or 10 or just your absolute favorite.

Then, leave treats on their doorstep telling them how much you appreciate their decorations! Simply fun and thoughtful- I love it! Making them is as easy as 1-2-3: Purchase a can at your grocery store with a pop-top. Fill the can with treats then seal it up by adding some hot glue to the rim. Embellish the heck out of it! And that's it!
