Reindeer Food-Sprinkling Some Magic On Christmas

As a mom, I am constantly looking to find ways to make our holidays more magical. Sure, my husband and I both have our own family holiday traditions that we like to carry on, but we are also creating our own. One thing that we love to do as a family is to engage in a lot of DIY Christmas Crafts. On craft that we did last year is this Glittering Oatmeal Reindeer Food Recipe!

Reindeer Food

While there are several different Christmas reindeer food recipes, this one sparkles on the snow!  We add a bit of glitter to our reindeer food recipe so that Santa and his helpers can see it glisten from way up in the sky! Glitter helps power the Reindeer’s magic! Be sure to put some cookies out on a plate for Santa, and then go out to your lawn and sprinkle some of this glittering oatmeal reindeer food to keep Santa’s helpers full all night long!

Make a batch for your own family, but this can also be a fun holiday gift for friends and neighbors. We love to walk around the neighborhood and put them in their mailboxes.

Important note: while this Reindeer Food is a great treat for Santa’s Reindeer, this isn’t a good treat for humans. Make sure you keep an eye on your little ones so they don’t try to eat it!
