I’m always looking for fun St. Patrick’s Day ideas to enjoy with the family and this year I have quite a few I want to try! Grab our craft ideas, recipes, and more.

Like it or not, I’m a fan of holidays. I love the seasonal treats, the fun decorations, all of it! Fun is good.

Why not celebrate whenever we can? 

We love St. Patrick’s Day in particular because we are SO ready for spring by March and while the air is still cool, we welcome all the green we can get. 

This year, we even added some green hot cocoa bombs for St. Patrick’s Day and they will even turn your milk green!
