- Assemble Christmas Fruit Kabobs: Take a toothpick and thread a green grape first, followed by a slice of banana, then a strawberry, and finish with a mini marshmallow on top to resemble a Santa hat.
- Prepare Banana Santa Kabobs ingredients: Peel the bananas and cut each into thirds. Cut the ends off the strawberries. Cut the large marshmallows into thirds to create smaller pieces.
- Assemble Banana Santa Kabobs: Insert a toothpick through a banana piece, then add a marshmallow piece, followed by a strawberry threaded onto the toothpick, and top it off with a mini marshmallow.
- Add facial details: Attach candy eyes to the banana piece and place a small red candy below for the mouth to complete the Santa face look.
