Plant Candy Canes.
We did this when the boys were smaller and they still talk about it. You "plant" candy canes with very special seeds and candy canes magically appear the next morning. We usually grow a few strawberry canes, because Tucker doesn't like the peppermint ones. After we harvest them, we hang them on our tree.

Use starlight mints as your seeds. (You can leave the plastic wrapper on, that way the canes grow with a wrapper too). In the early morning, go out and switch the mints with a candy cane. They just stick in the grass.
