Donut Snowman (Easy Christmas Morning Breakfast)

This Donut Snowman is the best Christmas morning breakfast for your kiddos! It’s easy, fast, and fun, and your kids will love these mini donuts on a stick! These are also perfect for classroom snacks, kids’ Christmas parties or a fun activity at home with your kids during the holidays!

Donut Snowman

I’m so excited that it’s almost the most wonderful time of the year and gosh I wish my kids were still young enough to enjoy these Snowman Donuts. 

With just a few common ingredients, you can make these Snowman Treats in under 10 minutes and have them ready for your kids to giggle over. Or if you host a holiday party for kids, you could set up a table with all of the ingredients in bowls and let the kids make their own Snowman Donuts.

Christmas Morning Breakfast

For years, I made a Cinnamon Roll Christmas Tree for my kids for breakfast and they loved them so much! It was festive and cute and oh-so-easy!

And these Snowman Doughnuts are just as easy (maybe more) and the perfect treat for Christmas morning! But you also don’t have to save them for Christmas morning breakfast. You could make snowman snacks for breakfast during any of the winter months!

Isn’t this such a cute snowman? If you need more Christmas ideas for kids, be sure to check out this post for 17 Kid-Friendly Christmas Morning Breakfast Ideas.

Ingredients

You can find all of these ingredients at your local grocery store, dollar store or big box store. 

• Mini powdered donuts
• Mini m&ms
• Black sugar pearls or sprinkles
• Mini Reese’s cups (unwrapped)
• Multicolored sour strips
• Pretzel sticks
• Cake pop sticks or Wooden Skewers

Substitutions

Making a powdered donut snowman is a fun recipe/craft and you can change things up in so many ways to make it work for you.

Here are a few alternative things you can do but get creative and I’m sure you can come up with so many more ideas!

• Nose. If you want a 3-D nose, you can use candy corn for a nose instead of an orange m&m.
• Eyes. Instead of black sugar pearls, you could also use mini chocolate chips or melted chocolate in a piping bag to make the eyes.
• Buttons. The buttons could be m&ms, Skittles or any other small colored candies.
• Scarf. Twizzlers would be another great option for the scarf!

Classroom Party Snacks

In addition to making Donut Snowmen for Christmas morning, these are great to bring in for a child’s Christmas classroom party, favors for holiday parties, or just a fun activity to do at home with kiddos.

If you want to wrap your Snowman Donuts on a stick individually, you’ll also need:

• Cellophane bags
• Ribbon

How to Make a Donut Snowman

1. Place three powdered sugar donuts on a cake pop stick or wooden skewer. Be careful and have extras when sliding the donuts on a stick – sometimes, they will split down the middle.
2. Place a mini Reese’s cup on top of the donut. This will act as the snowman’s hat.
3. Press one mini M&M for each button in the donut hole of the bottom two donuts. 
4. In the center of the top donut, press in an orange M&M for the snowman’s nose. 
5. Press black sprinkles (sugar pearls) into the top donut for the eyes.
6. Break pretzel stick in half and press the halves onto either side of the middle donut.
7. Make a sour strip and wrap it around the snowman’s “neck” to act as a scarf. 
8. If sending it to school for snacks, place it into a cellophane bag and tie it with a ribbon!

Pro Tips

• If you cannot find cake pop sticks, you can use a skewer and cut to the length you need.
• These will keep in their bags for 5 days! (Or in an airtight container if you aren’t using cellophane bags).
