Use blunted lollipop sticks instead of toothpicks for kid-friendly handling.
-
Swap marshmallows for whipped cream dots if you want a dairy twist or fluffier look.
-
Make it vegan by using vegan mini marshmallows (they’re easy to find now!).

Pick strawberries with pointy tips to make the “Santa hat” look more like the real thing.
