Rudolph’s Snack Mix

By Michelle Myers 4 Comments

Every year, my children look forward to cuddling up with us on the couch, drinking steaming cups of hot cocoa brimming over with marshmallows and watching all our favorite holiday shows. While they love all of them, I’m not sure that any is more well loved than Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.

I’m sure you can remember watching it when you were kids and it’s special to be able to share this tradition from one generation to the next.  Inspired by this timeless classic is this fun little Rudolph’s snack mix that you could make to go with your cocoa.  It takes less than five minutes to pull together, and yet to see the look on your kids faces when presented with these little treats would be worth hours of your time.

During the holidays there are few things more treasured than curling up with your kiddos on the couch, drinking hot cocoa and watching timeless classics together like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. To make the evening even just a little more special, you can pull together this Rudolph's Snack mix in a matter of minutes. Just wait until you see the way their eyes light up when you serve this for their movie watching holiday snack. SunshineandHurricanes.com

My kiddos actually came up with this simple snack idea and I thought it might be an “invention” that other families could enjoy as well during the holiday season.

This is so simple to make and totally adorable. So, here we go! This is what you will need:

1 box of Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips

Pretzels

Chocolate Chips

Red M&M’s

I bought a bag of holiday M&M’s and they were happily sorted by my little elves. We dumped everything into a bowl, gently stirred it up and voila, a snack is born! The thing my kiddos were most excited about was the fact they could play with their food! Following the photo above, your little elves can create an entire team of reindeer for Santa’s sleigh.

Rudolph's Snack Mix

This mix looks cute in a pretty bowl and the adults thought it was pretty yummy as well. You can’t go wrong with sweet & salty! After munching while watching a Christmas movie, I bagged up the leftovers for lunch boxes or treats on the go.

This simple mix would be easy for class parties, maybe a jar full for a neighbor, or great to have on hand when friends drop by.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
