If you’re looking to make Easter fun and memorable this year, we’re here to help. We’ve put together six ideas for a special Easter. Crafts, decorations, recipes and more—here’s how you can make sure you have an #EggcellentEaster.

Endless options for your Easter brunch

For many families, Easter brunch is the best part of the long weekend—it is the meal where sunshine, delicious food and quality family time come together. There are endless ways to make Easter brunch special.

This year we turned to three Canadian chefs for their unique twists on a favourite brunch dish: Eggs Benedict. For a delicious new spin on a classic, make sure to try Chef Craig Flinn’s BLT Eggs Benedict, Chef Paul Lillakas’ Spring Sausage Eggs Benedict or Chef Dale MacKay’s Puff Pastry Eggs Benedict.

Easter sweets and baking with eggs

There’s so much room for culinary creativity at Easter—especially when it comes to baking and delicious sweets. If you’re looking for something the kids will love, try this chocolate bunny bread recipe or keep it classic with hot cross buns and lemon meringue pie.

Learn about myth and folklore

 Eggs have always held special meaning and significance in our lives—as far back as human history has been recorded, eggs have had a unique status in the myths and folklore of our predecessors. Here are some of our favourite egg legends, from South Pacific symbols to the ancient world.

Play with your food

Sometimes playing with your food is a good thing—like when you’re making a flower garden using eggs and your favourite veggies.

Or turn your eggs into emojis—another kid-friendly way to pair eggs and veggies.
