Christmas fund-raiser ideas

Not sure if this is the best location to post this but it's Christmas lovers here so here goes!

I'm a school teacher. My form group (Year 9) has been tasked with coming up with a Christmas charity idea to raise money for the school charity. I'm wracking my brains to think of some ideas (that they can do as a group and ideally in school). None of the children have come up with anything realistic ("buy a snow machine to cover the football pitch with snow and charge everyone to have a snowball fight instead of lessons").

I was thinking a 12 days of Christmas raffle type thing but that's a bit dull. Christmas bake sale - fine but definitely been done to death. Thought about personalising and selling baubles but don't think my form are that artistic and would pupils really buy them? There's already a Santa-dash type thing going on one lunchtime. Any other ideas?? Would be forever grateful!

selling candy canes has worked well in my school previously for this exact purpose.

Ooh really? Maybe I can convince the kids to dress up like elves to sell them 😄 How much did they sell candy canes for?? I imagine they got a good markup!

Key to the door.
Find a box with a locked lid/door. Put a £10 note inside then lock it.
Put keys in a bowl with 29 others. Sell each key for £1. The winning key will unlock the door and claim the tenner.

Each child brings in some chocolate - bigger the better but everyone can join in at any cost. Make up a chocolate hamper - preferably pretty with a decorated box/tissue paper etc and sell raffle tickets to the other children or on the gate to parents. All profit for you.
Those Christmas slap bands are very popular and you can make a decent profit with 48 for 8.99 on Amazon
Also you can buy big box of Xmas tattoos and the year 6’s can charge the children for a cartoon tattoo (works better when parents are around obviously)
We have in the past, set up a shop in school for children to buy parents gifts that we wrap for them. Buy gifts for about £1 and sell at £2

Fab thanks! It's a secondary school so we don't have parents on the gates etc but I think the chocolate hamper is a brilliant idea!!

@surreygirl1987 If memory serves, the canes were sold for 50p each.
