Winter Wonderland Baby Shower Ideas: Food & Decorations

Winter Baby Shower Food Ideas

First, let’s start with winter baby shower food ideas. As I mentioned earlier, winter is cold. So why not warm your guests up with some simple soups? A soup or chili bar can be a delicious way of sampling winter. Cheesy Potato Stew? Spicy Chili? Zesty Autumn Squash? Classic Chicken Noodle? Yes, please. Throw in some yummy rolls or crackers and everyone settles in to get cozy.

If soup isn’t your style, celebrate the cold with a hot chocolate bar. This is a super easy, diverse, and yummy option.  Not to mention, pretty cost effective. There are tons of topping ideas, and numerous homemade recipes for crock-pot hot cocoa if you want to make your own, but let’s admit it, Swiss Miss does a pretty good job. To hit everyone’s sweet spot, you can even offer complimenting liqueur options, like peppermint schnapps and Irish cream. I mean, YUM.

What’s more Christmas-y than Christmas cookies? The season for making shapes with our food – take full advantage. Bottles, booties, onesies, even snowflakes! All of these are fun options for a baby shower, especially when decorated with pink or blue icing!  Sugar cookies, cut in shapes and iced, are a great way to bring a little of the magic of Christmas to the baby shower.
