Christmas Deviled Eggs
Since Red and Green are the colors of Christmas, I thought it only fitting that deviled eggs get a Christmas kick by making Red and Green Colored Deviled Eggs.
Eggs have LONG been a staple at Holiday tables,
Easter, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas…
and there is no better time to dress them up than Christmas,
I dyed the white part of the eggs, red and green and I know that there is one person in particular who will be eating the majority of these.
I had no idea how much my son liked deviled eggs until we went to a party a few years ago and he ate 12 of them! Luckily the person who made them had LOTS more so he proceeded to eat more when the next tray came out.
So now when the Holidays roll around, I make them a bit more colorful.
I made red, white, and blue deviled eggs for the 4th of July. They were a hit and I decided to make colored deviled eggs for Christmas, in red and green. I use Americolor super red and royal blue.
I use a teaspoon of the gel color with one cup hot water and then place the egg whites cut in half with the yolk removed until they have a nice color, leave them in longer if you want the color darker.
Although it does seem like blue is the new color of Christmas,
with lots of blue lights and decorations that seem to have multiplied,
for me it’s red and green and gold and silver too….oh,
I should have made GOLD eggs, that would be fun.
But then there is the goose, wrong story (ha, ha)
Here are step by step instructions on how I dye the eggs
along with my favorite “lightened up healthier” deviled egg recipe.
It’s looking VERY festive.
I use Americolor Super Red and Leaf Green concentrated gel colors, 1 teaspoon of each.

Great color on these!!
Hi, does the vinegar when dying the egg whites leave any kind of a taste on the eggs?
I do not notice a vinegar taste, nor did anyone else.
Hey! It’s really colourful, it really suits for the party!
Thanks for your sharing this I can’t wait to make these pretty eggs for all my holiday celebrating!

No, you don’t taste the vinegar on the eggs, it does enhance the coloring.
Hello, I am getting ready to order the red and blue colors and wanted to add the green color as well. Exactly what color of green did you use? Also, how much do you put into making each color so beautiful?
Please and Thank you!
I used leaf green. I use a teaspoon of each gel color. The colors are concentrated, feel free to add more or less color depending on the result you want 馃檪
