Christmas Derby

As far as I can remember the years I was with my mum’s family we spent Christmas Eve all together. Every year we would act out the nativity and make sugar cookies. This year we added a new tradition!

Candy derby racing

My aunt and uncle put together this awesome track that we wiped down with lemon Pledge and we each made our cars using a Hersheys bar as a base!

We had loads of different holiday themed candies to choose from, including:

  • candy canes

  • Hershey’s kisses

  • Rolos

  • Hershey assorted bars

  • Christmas taffy

  • marshmallow Santas

  • peppermint patties

We put our cars together using hot glue guns and had only 5 minutes to design and build them. We each had very different designs. This was such a fun activity, I can’t wait for next year!
