Candy canes are a holiday classic, even a staple to some. Growing up we always put them on our Christmas tree (of course half of them would be gone by Christmas day), and my mom would put a bundle of them in a Santa Claus mug on the kitchen counter perfect for stirring your hot chocolate with. I love them!
Candy canes are definitely a prominent piece of holiday decor. But these days you can do so much more with candy canes! They are not just for trimming the tree anymore! So here are some terrific ideas I have collected of creative new ways to use your candy canes. Enjoy!
