Step two: Lights
You can buy ice cream lights from Walmart or just go with some regular white lights and complement them with some whimsical ice cream ornaments.
A number of retailers offer ice cream ornaments. You can purchase ornaments from Fab or Walmart or you can make your own! Here is a neat ice cream cone ornament tutorial from BiblioBags.
Step 4: Garland
You may also decide to make or buy garland. You can purchase ice cream garland online at Christmas Central or make it with one of these fun tutorials from Hello Lately and Crafts ’n Coffee.
If you’d like to go a step further with your whimsical ice cream theme, you can incorporate other Christmas decor like wreaths. Here is a very sweet wreath from the Etsy store, Vanitacrafts. You can also make your own wreath on a budget with this tutorial from the Dollar Store.
Lastly, all this Christmas decorating could work up an appetite! Be sure to take the time to enjoy decorating with your family and have an ice cream break. You can have ice cream delivered to your door when you order from Cold Cow’s online store.
