This edible wreath shows off a selection of Real California cheeses, dried fruit, nuts, crackers and other items, and with each kit ordered, a donation of $20 will be made to Feeding [America](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loneliness-among-seniors) in support of families in need. These cheese wreaths are centerpieces, and edible decorations and the process of putting them together provides a crafting activity that the whole family can enjoy. This initiative feeds into the #CADAIRY4GOOD initiative from CMAB to support families in need and provide access to dairy foods. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 14% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Charity](https://www.trendhunter.com/charity) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Edible Decorations:** The trend of using edible decorations for the holiday season can be capitalized upon by creating unique food-based centerpieces that also serve as charitable contributions. - **Charitable Food Kits:** The trend of creating and selling food kits that have a charitable component can be capitalized upon by partnering with brands that follow the same ethos. - **Crafty Kitchen Activities:** The trend of creating kitchen activities that strengthen bonds between family members can be capitalized upon by developing unique food crafts that encourage creativity while supporting local communities. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food Retail:** Food retailers can capitalize on the trend of creating charitable food kits by collaborating with local non-profits and food brands to provide high-quality food kits to customers who are eager to give back. - **Charitable Organizations:** Charitable organizations can capitalize on the trend of creating crafty kitchen activities by partnering with food companies to develop unique, engaging food crafts that raise awareness for their cause. - **Food Manufacturing:** Food manufacturers can capitalize on the trend of edible decorations by developing and creating unique, food-based centerpieces that cater to the holiday season. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Edible Wreath Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/california-cheese-wreath-kit.md) - [Artisan Cheese Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-gift-baskets.md) - [Festive Meat-Made Holiday Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charcuterie-chalet-kit.md) - [Festive Pre-Made Cheese Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-cheese-board.md) - [Emergency Cheese Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alouette-x-gopuff.md) - [Cheese-Themed Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesethemed-advent.md) - [Gift-Wrapping Cheese Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babybelves-holiday-village.md) - [Festive Cheese Wheel Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-wheel-cake.md) - [Cheese-Filled Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesies.md)
