The Grinch Day Jell-O Cup Treat Tradition

Last updated on January 19th, 2024

This is the super easy holiday tradition you’ve been looking for. I present to you: The Grinch Day Jell-O Cup Treat.

What is Grinch Day?

Grinch Day can be whatever you want it to be (aka, it’s a made up day, just for fun). I like to treat it like a day (or week) when you tailor crafts, activities, and treats with The Grinch movie/book in mind (all things GREEN with red hearts, basically).

It’s a super fun and simple holiday tradition that can be adapted each year as your children grow older.

When you’re in a hard season of life, keep it simple and try a Grinchy green treat (like this Jell-O Cup) and snuggle up to watch The Grinch movie together.

If you’re feeling up to more, add a craft like this adorable Grinch Handprint Craft or some yummy Grinch Pancakes. Do whatever feels right for your family, and remember that you can do less or more each year depending on how busy your season is.

As your kids get bigger, they can do more challenging activities and crafts with a Grinchy theme. I love that this tradition is one that can grow with your growing family.
