January marks the beginning of the year.
Even after the New Year’s holiday, we still feel celebratory and refreshed, and many of us feel motivated to try new things.
With that in mind, I’ve put together snack activity recipes and ideas that are perfect for the New Year and for January.
From treats that let you savor that New Year atmosphere or a slightly different vibe than usual, to snacks made with ingredients that are especially delicious in winter.

Snacks Activities for Seniors to Enjoy in January (31–40)
Black Soybean Pound Cake
This is a pound cake packed with highly nutritious black soybeans.
It’s an adapted recipe you can even make with leftover New Year’s simmered black beans! The method is super simple: put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix, pour into a loaf pan, then bake in a 180°C oven—that’s it! It’s very easy to make, so why not include it as a snack activity at a day service? Making it themselves not only stimulates the brain, but also lets everyone enjoy a New Year’s seasonal touch.
A homemade treat will undoubtedly taste extra special.
In conclusion
We introduced snack activities you can enjoy in January.
A key point for safely enjoying snack activities is that many items—like shiratama rice dumplings and mochi—use tofu, which keeps them soft and easy to eat even after they cool.
These snack activities are fun to make and exciting to eat.
We hope everyone has a wonderful time together.
