I have a really good success rate at 2 types of shows this time of year:

1) Cookie Swap - I set up a few stations and the guest and host actually make the cookies with our tools! Then they each get to take some home with them in a very inexpensive gift box which I buy at the dollar store. My sales tend to be anywhere from $500-$800 from this type of show.

2) Holiday gift ideas - The food is prepared ahead of time and I have actually printed out gift ideas and put packages together for everyone to see. I set up a section called "Great Stocking Stuffers" with gifts that are usually $10 and under. A lot of my sales come from the stocking stuffers and the Batter bowl mixes that PC did for us a couple of years ago! HUGE success with the batter bowl mixes for me! I usually sale 9 or more batter bowls, scrapers & mini serving spatulas with this idea at these shows. My sales tend to be around $600-$900 at these shows but I have had a couple of $1000 shows too.

Hope this helps & good luck!

Hi there! Here are some ideas for your Christmas show:- For recipes, you could do a cookie exchange where each guest brings a batch of their favorite holiday cookies to share. You could also have a hot cocoa bar with different toppings and mix-ins for guests to create their own cozy drink.
- As for games, you could do a holiday-themed scavenger hunt where guests have to find items related to Christmas (ornaments, candy canes, etc.) around the house or neighborhood. Another idea is to have a "guess the Christmas song" game where you play a few seconds of a holiday tune and guests have to guess the title and artist.
- For invitations, you could create a fun and festive design using a free online invitation maker like Canva or Evite. You could also send out physical invitations in the shape of a holiday ornament or with a small candy cane attached.
- As for decorations, you could go for a classic red and green color scheme or get creative with a theme like "Winter Wonderland" or "Santa's Workshop." You could also incorporate DIY decorations like paper snowflakes or a garland made from popcorn.
- Don't forget to have some holiday music playing in the background to set the festive mood!Hope these ideas help and have fun planning your Christmas show! Happy holidays!
