How do I ensure the coating sticks to the grapes?

Thoroughly dry the grapes after washing and toss them in freshly squeezed lemon juice before rolling in sugar to help the coating adhere well.

Can I use other fruit besides grapes?

Firm, bite-sized fruits like blueberries or cherries can work, but grapes provide the ideal texture once frozen.

Cinnamon adds a warm, festive flavor but is optional depending on your taste preference.

Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the grapes are firm and frosty to achieve a crunchy texture.

Serving grapes on skewers or sprinkling them with colored sugar or edible glitter enhances their festive appeal.
