Who's ready for the big Game Day? I love a good get-together as much as the next lady, but I don't always enjoy being stuck in the kitchen preparing for it. You know me, I love quick and easy options, and one of the quickest and easiest options for a Game Day party or family dinner is to pick it up! I recently picked up a Coca-Cola & Pizza Combo at Sam's Club for so much less than you can get it delivered, made yummy Coca-Cola Floats for dessert and topped it all off with fun Game Day Straw Flags. It made the perfect playoff spread for our family dinner and I barely lifted a finger. I would call that a win!
To help you get started on your own Big Game dinner, I made a free printable with tutorial to make your own super-easy and cute straw flags and give you directions for the perfect Coca-Cola float!
Step one is picking up the Coca-Cola & Pizza Combo at Sam's Club.
The combo includes a hot, freshly made 16-in. pizza (cheese, Pepperoni, Sausage, or Supreme), cheesy breadsticks with 2 marinara dipping sauces, 6 big chocolate chip cookies, and a 2-liter of Coca-Cola or Diet Coke for just $13.98! That's cheaper than a large pizza delivered! Just go to your Sam's Club Cafe to pick it up.
I love that I can pick up not only a hot pizza, but also breadsticks, cookies, and a 2-liter, enough to fill up my whole family, for less than I would spend on a single pizza elsewhere, or even making it myself. If you were hosting a Game Day party, you could pick up 2 or 3 combos and feed a whole crowd without spending a bundle. Pick up some ice cream, whipped cream, and cherries, and you've got dessert for a crowd too!
Soda floats are one of the easiest desserts you can make, and the best part is it looks like you made an effort! You can make a float with any soda, but my personal favorite soda is Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola Float
Ingredients:
- Coca-Cola or Diet Coke
- vanilla ice cream
- whipped cream
- maraschino cherries with stems
Directions:
- Scoop enough ice cream into your glass to fill it about halfway.
- Pour the Coca-Cola over your ice cream. It will foam up, so have a spoon standing by to scoop off the foam. Keep pouring and scooping until you fill your glass.
- Dollop whipped cream over your float.
- Top with a maraschino cherry!
Game Day Straw Flags
Supplies:
- Straws
- a color printer and paper
- Scissors
- Glue or tape
- Game Day Straw Flags printable (Get it by right-clicking on the picture below and choosing "Save Image As..." to download it or get the pdf here.)
Instructions:
- Print out your Game Day Straw Flags sheet at 100% (do not scale up or down.) These will fit any standard-sized straw.
- Cut out as many of the straw flags as you'd like to use for your get-together.
- Spread your glue over half of the inside of the flag you're using (or you can use tape.)
- Place the flag around your straw. Remember to place it far enough down the straw to not interfere with using it.
- Match up the ends of the flag.
- Press in place and allow to dry completely.
Voila! Now you have fun and functional decor for your Game Day drinks!
I hope you love them and have fun making your game time festive. Pick up a Pizza and Coca-Cola Bundle at the Sam's Club Cafe and make Game Day dinner and dessert a breeze!
