Summer’s White Christmas
Most of us have dreamed of having a white Christmas, but the chances of that ever happening are slim to none.
Most of us have dreamed of having a white Christmas and snow to match, but because we live in a warm climate, the chances of ever seeing the precious white powder are slim to none. However, that should not stop you from having the festive season you deserve. Here are some ideas to go along with your Summer White Christmas Theme…
· White candles
Candles are always welcome as they create a nice ambience in the room. Make it extra special by getting a scented one, or if you plan to host your get-together outside, get insect-repellent candles that can be used for décor and keeping bugs away.
· White chocolate and marshmallows
White chocolate and marshmallows are a great fun dessert for kids. Melt the chocolate and let the kids have fun with it by dipping their own marshmallows or let them make s’mores over the braai stand. It’s a fun activity that still fits in with the theme.
· White Christmas socks
To spruce up your décor, you can choose to hang up white Christmas socks, instead of the usual red. This will be a fun look and a nice change to the white Christmas set up.
· White Christmas Mojito
For the adults, you can create a signature drink to compliment your theme. A great one to try is a White Christmas Mojito. The recipe is as follows:
Ingredients
The juice of one lime
8 mint leaves
The arils from one pomegranate
65ml canned coconut milk
30ml sugar
1 bottle sparkling water
5ml coconut rum
30ml white rum
Method
Put all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker, shake well and serve
