Gumball Tree: Care Guide and Decorating Ideas for Home

An adorable Christmas gumball tree candy dish, dressed up for the holidays and unbelievably easy to assemble. This festive treat doubles as both a decoration and a sweet centerpiece for parties or family gatherings.

  • Supplies for your Gumball Tree:
  • 1 tree-shaped candy dish
  • Green Christmas mix gumballs (for the “foliage”)
  • Red gumball (to represent the stem or topper)
  • Sixlets Christmas mix or other small round candies for accents (optional)

Instructions:

1. Fill the tree candy dish with the green gumballs, arranging them so they form a full, rounded “tree” shape.

2. Place a single red gumball in a central position to act as the stem or a festive ornament topper.

3. If you like extra color and texture, sprinkle Sixlets or similar small candies over the top as decorations.

That’s all it takes—simple, charming, and quick. The gumball tree makes an eye-catching holiday display and an easy, edible treat for guests of all ages.
