We kicked off our Christmas party in the sweetest way possible—with a candy salad! Everyone brought their favorite gummy and fruity candies, and we mixed them all together in a giant container to create a colorful, sugary masterpiece. It was the perfect start to our festive day, bringing big smiles and even bigger sugar rushes! If you’re planning a fun holiday gathering, this easy and crowd-pleasing treat is a must-try. Let’s show you how we did it!
Here are some essentials for your candy salad:
• A Huge Container
• A Way To Mix The Candy
• Treat Boxes or Bags
• And of course, CANDY!
There are really no rules to the candy salad! We all decided that we wanted this one to be fruity! We told everyone to bring in a candy – it could be Christmas themesd or it could just be their favorite candy!
We all went different places to get our candy, but my personal favorite for some fun seasonal finds is Home Goods! They had so many fun options! I even grabbed some Valentine’s Day Candy while I was at it!
We made a fun little video with our candy salad and put it on our Facebook and Instagram! We said our names and then told everyone what kind of candy we brought!

The jar was packed when we were done! It was so hard to get everything mixed in really well so we divided it out into big bowls and mixed it up really well!
And of course one of the most fun parts was dividing it out and taking some home!
Our candy salad was the perfect way to start the day and set the tone for a fun and festive Christmas party! The best part? It’s completely customizable—just gather your favorite candies and let everyone join in on the fun. Whether you’re hosting a holiday event or just want a cheerful treat, this candy salad is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Give it a try, and let us know how yours turns out! 🎄🍬

The candy looks so pretty in the jar!
I haven’t heard of the candy salad before. It’s a fun idea to make and share.
It was fun to watch the girls putting this together the other day. Such a fun idea! I wonder if it would work with other kinds of candy like chocolates. Might get messy I guess. Maybe any kind of miniature wrapped candies. Anyway, it was fun to watch them having fun with it!
Love the Candy salad idea! Can’t wait to go shopping at Home Goods. 😉
Omg Miss Barb! That IS some kind of salad. May try it with my chocolate as a CHOCOLATE SALAD. LOL
