Most of us like to keep our Christmas Eve traditions, but there’s nothing wrong with switching it up a little.  Although we all enjoy a good cookie from time to time, Santa Claus consumes more than his fair share of cookies in one night.  No wonder he’s so jolly! 

So this Christmas Eve, forget the traditional cookies and milk and consider some healthier food options for Santa. You do want him to fit down your chimney after all.

So what are some healthy and easy alternatives?

Fruits such as apples and oranges are a good alternative especially for a sweet tooth like Santa.  Carrots and celery sticks and whole wheat crackers with peanut butter are healthy and nutritious.

But if you want to do something extra special for Santa then these kid-friendly oven-baked chicken nuggets with sweet potato fries will keep Santa’s energy level at a peak. Yes, they are kid-friendly which will be a perfect choice for Santa.  We all know that he’s a big kid at heart.

And of course, don’t forget the reindeer; they need their energy charged for the long trek ahead.
