A cheese ornament, specifically a small bowl of macaroni in cheddar sauce, is comfort food rendered glossy and hangable. It is genuinely funny and still good looking, which is a hard combination to pull off on a tree. Send it home with the friend who claims the best recipe, or hang it on a first apartment tree next to the lights.
Perfect for: white elephant gifts, food lovers, first Christmas away from home, foodie trees, ornament exchanges, and stocking stuffers.
People have been eating macaroni and cheese since a 14th century cookbook first wrote it down, so the dish has more than earned a spot on the branch. This one is glass, mouth-blown into a carved mold, hand-painted, and glittered in the tradition that began in the 1800s and that Old World Christmas keeps. It arrives with a keepsake box.
Hang it in a run of food shapes down one side of the tree, and browse the rest of our funny Christmas ornaments.
