I have never made gingerbread houses for Christmas growing up and was really wanting to do one this year with Michael. After I thought about it, I realized that Michael might still be a little too young to make a gingerbread house with. So, I found something a little more Michael or toddler friendly - an edible Christmas tree.
We did this Christmas Eve night before heading to bed. Michael seemed to have fun with it and that's all that matters.
I bought Keebler sugar cones, but really wanted something bigger. They did the trick though. Got frosting that was already green (thank you Pillsbury!) and bought candy to use as "ornaments". I bought peanut M&Ms by accident. Plain M&Ms would have worked better. At our grocery store they had candy that were snowmen and trees. I didn't want to have anything really big like you would on a gingerbread house since the tree was rather small. Hope this gives you an idea of something fun to do with your kids next year for Christmas!
Here's the video of Michael and I decorating his edible Christmas tree:
