If you're not a from-scratch type of person but still want to get your kids involved in holiday baking, get one of these pre-assembled gingerbread house kits for them to decorate. My kids love them, and it may become a Christmas tradition for us.

These have to be the coolest pancake molds ever; they're holiday themed and you can use two tones of batter. They would be great for Christmas breakfast.

I tell you, breaking down a chicken would have gone so much more smoothly if I had had one of these plush pull-apart chickens to play with as a kid.

This might be my favorite product yet. Add a holiday tag-shaped cookie to the goodie plate you give your friends. The kids would love writing out the family names with icing.

If gingerbread isn't your thing, these crispy rice snowmen are darling. I could eat my weight in crispy rice squares.

If your kids are extra artistic, they would love to decorate their own aprons. Then you can wash them out and let them decorate them again.

@docilana: One of my granddaughters has a collection of faux felt food that I have made for her and surprisingly 'the chicken' is one of her favourites. Both the drumsticks and the wings are detachable for the purpose of combining them with other foods. As with a cake or a pie a similar detachable concept is used to provide an assortment of wedges. (Unlike the chicken shown that uses velcro for attaching pieces together, I use magnets encased in the fabric.)
Ho-Ho-Ho, I love when I find a bargain!!!!!!! ºÜº
