M & Ms
Red Hots
Chiclets
Wafers Candies (flat, round, old fashioned candies, wrapped in a wax paper wrapper)
Marshmallows (for snow piles, snowmen, etc.)
Little candy fruits (I've always wanted to do a market scene and use these somehow...)
OTHER IDEAS:
Add to your design by making a cart, animal cookies (you make and decorate), in a barnyard scene, snowmen, wood piles, a pile of presents in a sleigh.
