These Rudolph Reindeer Candy Jars are one of my favorite easy Christmas gift ideas! Fill a clear jar with Christmas candy, then add googly eyes, antlers, and Rudolph’s signature red nose. They’re SO cute for teachers, friends, party favors, or last-minute holiday gifts!
The Sweetest Little Holiday Gift
If you’re looking for an easy, affordable DIY gift to make for teachers, co-workers, family, or friends for Christmas, let me introduce you to this cutie!
These Rudolph Reindeer Candy Jars are SO cute and easy to make! I love that something as simple as a jar of candy can turn into an adorable little Rudolph with googly eyes, antlers, and his signature red nose.
These are perfect when you need a last-minute holiday gift because they come together in just 15 minutes.
Have a friend or teacher who loves chocolate? Or has a sweet tooth in general?! This would be such a sweet little gift for them! ❤️
They’d also be cute for a holiday gift exchange, party favors, or even a little gift for your child’s friend.
You really don’t need to do much to make these cuties feel special. They’re festive, chocolatey, and just plain cute!

Everything You Need to Make Reindeer Candy Jars
You only need a handful of supplies to make these Reindeer Candy Jars! I love using Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark Squares because the festive wrappers look SO cute inside the jars, but you can absolutely use your favorite Christmas candy instead.
- Christmas candy: I used Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark Squares, but any favorite candy works.
- Glass jars: Clear jars let all the candy show through.
- Brown construction paper or craft foam: For creating the reindeer look.
- Large googly eyes: Give Rudolph his cute little face.
- Red pom-poms: For Rudolph’s signature red nose.
- Brown pipe cleaners: Twist these into antlers.
- Gift tags: Add a name or little Christmas message.
