Hi Friends! We are officially in the Christmas spirit over here! I’m so excited to share with you my “Pancakes, Pajamas and Plaid” kid’s Christmas party I created with Oriental Trading. It was such a great way to kick off the season…a morning filled with flapjacks, flannel, friends and fun! The kids had an absolute blast!

A huge thank you to Oriental Trading Company for sponsoring this post. Although I was given resources to create this party, all of my opinions and feelings about (how fun and creative) their products are 100% my own. For more information, see my disclosures, here.

PANCAKES, PAJAMAS  AND PLAID

I wanted the theme of the party to be quintessential “Christmas.” So as I was looking through all of the different Christmas items on the Oriental Trading site as soon as I saw this collection of buffalo plaid items I knew they would be perfect. My mind quickly wandered to a whimsical lumberjack pancake breakfast and hot chocolate bar with a bunch of different toppings and sweets for both the pancakes and hot cocoa. Since the party was a breakfast and in the morning, I thought making it a pajama party too just added to the fun!

As soon as I spotted these mugs, the graphic designer in me could not have been more thrilled! They were very simple to make too. I designed my own art for the mug and then just removed the coloring page that was inside the mug and replaced it with my design. I sent all of our little party guests home with the coloring page so they could create a new look for their mug at home if that would like. You can download a free printable of my “Hot Chocolate Is Like a Hug From the Inside” mug design by filling out the form at the bottom of this post. I also used these mugs as “place cards” for the kids on the table. The kids loved looking for their names on each mug. Then they also took them home as a special favor from the morning!

THE FOOD

I think the best way to sum up my inspiration for the food at our Pancakes, Pajamas and Plaid party would be the following quote from Buddy in the movie Elf. “We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup.” Haha! To me, Christmas is all about the sweet treats, so we had DIY (decorate our own) pancakes and a hot chocolate bar with all the trimmings.

I would say the two biggest fan favorites were the jumbo dipped marshmallows and the hot cocoa cookies. Both were super easy to make also! For the jumbo marshmallows, I just dipped them in white candy melts and then rolled them in red sugar or sprinkles. The kids loved dipping them in their hot chocolate! The hot cocoa cookies were very simple too. The base of the cookie was a simple sugar cookie that you bake in a mini cupcake tin. Then after baking them, you use the handle of a wooden spoon to make an indentation for the “mug.” Then I added the candy cane handle using white candy melts. Lastly, you add a little chocolate pudding in the center for the “hot cocoa”…so cute and really pretty simple to assemble!

THE FAVORS

I figured it was only right for Santa to make an appearance at the party as well, so I made these little Lumberjack “Believe in the Beard” Santas for all of the kids. The mini marshmallow beards were a hit! Also, each child took home a “So Plaid You Came” treat bag full of goodies. You can download the “So Plaid You Came” tags by filling out the form at the bottom of this post. (This printable is a PDF file that contains editable fields. Just open the PDF in Adobe Reader and type a name at the bottom of the tag. Then just save and print.)
