One of my favorite Christmas gift ideas is Snowman Soup! It’s so darling, easy to put together, and perfect for neighbors, teachers, friends, co-workers, and more!

What is snowman soup you ask? Ingredients include a packet of hot chocolate, two mini candy canes, and a little bag of mini marshmallows, and when you put them all together, it makes the most adorable gift idea. I love it because it’s super easy to put together for one person, or a whole group of people.
There are so many ways to put them together! I’ve used a mason jar or a cute mini paper sack to hold individual gifts, and for families, I’ll put all the ingredients in a paper lunch sack or clear treat bag. Add the super cute tag around the top, and you’re set to go!
For the mason jar, I piled the marshmallows on the bottom of the jar, then layered in the candy canes and hot chocolate packet.
When I’m putting together a package for a group of people (or when I use paper sack), I like to bundle the marshmallows together in a plastic snack bag with the zipper/top cut off, and tied closed with baker’s twine or ribbon.
I like doing these for neighbor gifts, and if I’m packaging it for a whole family, then I use brown paper lunch sacks. I fill it with as many packets as there are people in their family, add the candy canes and small bags of marshmallows. Those bags fit a lot! You can do the same thing to close it–use a clothespin, ribbon, etc. I’ve also used cardboard takeout boxes, which are always super cute, but they won’t hold more than 2-3 servings. They also look cute in large mason jars!
And it’s your lucky day…I’m sharing not one, but two different versions of the fun snowman soup tag!
OPTION 1:
OPTION 2: I created two different sizes of printable–one about 3 3/4 inches, the other is larger at 5 inches. To download the tags, click on the link, and save the pdf file to your computer. Print on cardstock (white or cream)!

Nov 27, 2015 at 8:57 amIve made these over the years with GREAT success .. BUT, I personalized my cups for each individual .. AND U can use the same “poem” but for those who do NOT like Hot Chocolate, use Apple cider and a cinnamon stick .. “they” love the gifts I give every year

Nov 9, 2014 at 10:29 amI love this idea. I plan on making these for my Granddaughters 2nd grade class for Christmas. I made reindeer food for her class last year. I know this will be a big hit. I will also make some for our dirty Santa exchange. So fun.

Dec 8, 2014 at 7:07 pmSo adorable! Thank you for sharing!
I love all the printable a that you are so sweet to share with us.
May I ask what programs do you yes to create yours? I thought you mentioned PicMonkey at one time. I’m still such a design novice!
Simply Kierste says
Dec 8, 2014 at 9:34 pmSure! I use Photoshop a lot, but I like to use Picmonkey too! It’s free and user-friendly, so I do a lot of tutorials using it, because everyone has access to it! Let me know if you have any other questions!! xoxo

Dec 20, 2014 at 7:39 pmI love this poem – I am using these for a public school party and some of the poems I found were a little too “Christmassy”. This one is perfect! Quick question – the hot chocolate mix I bought says to add milk only. Is there a way I can change the word water to milk in the poem? Thank you!!
Simply Kierste says
Dec 21, 2014 at 9:33 pmI just e-mailed it to you!! :)
Jennifer Pondillo says
Jan 21, 2015 at 10:27 pmHi there, is there anyway you can send me the file in layers? I wanted to see if I could change the colors in photoshop to match my twins birthday color theme. Was thinking it would be cute for favors for their snow tubing party. I just adore it! She is doing a blue and red theme for the party. Thanks!
Simply Kierste says
Jan 22, 2015 at 9:37 pmUnfortunately, I don’t have it. I usually make my stuff in Photoshop, but this one I didn’t. :( So sorry!!!

Dec 5, 2015 at 12:23 pmI love your pdf. Thank you for sharing for the “not so creative” type of people – like me! Question, when using card stock for these types of label what lb would you recommend? 65 or 110? Thanks again!
Simply Kierste says
Dec 5, 2015 at 10:51 pmYou are so welcome! You’re talking about the thickness of the card stock? I think you’re okay with either one–whichever works better in your printer! xoxo

Dec 9, 2015 at 5:17 pmCan I please have the printable that add milk instead of water? Thanks!
