These Christmas wreaths are made using corn flakes and cinnamon candies. They're fun to make and eat. If the mixture is cooling too quickly, set the pan in a skillet with one inch of very hot water to keep the dough manageable.

Tips:
- Choose fresh holly: Look for holly with deep green leaves and bright red berries. Avoid any holly with brown or wilted leaves.
- Cut the holly branches at a 45-degree angle: This will help the branches absorb water more easily.
- Soak the holly branches in water for at least 30 minutes before using: This will help to keep the branches fresh and prevent them from wilting.
- Use a variety of holly branches: This will add visual interest to your wreath.
- Add other evergreens to your wreath: This will give your wreath a fuller look.
- Use floral wire to secure the holly branches and other evergreens to the wreath form: This will help to keep your wreath in place.
- Add ribbon or other decorations to your wreath: This will help to personalize your wreath and make it more festive.
- Hang your wreath on your front door or in a window: This will help to spread holiday cheer to your friends and neighbors.
