We all know that there’s a lot that goes into a Christmas celebration, whether it’s getting the right gifts, decorating the house or filling the stockings. And anyone with kids can’t forget the most important part of Christmas Eve – the snacks for Santa.
A new poll finds that 71% of Americans leave a snack out for Santa, as well as his reindeer, and it seems some folks like to be a bit unique with their treat. Not surprising, cookies are still the most popular snack left for Old Saint Nick, with 82% of folks leaving them out, along with milk (51%). But one or two Santas may be surprised when they make their late-night visit.
Other Santa snacks include:
- Eggnog (11%)
- Chocolate (11%)
- Candy canes (10%)
- Vegetables (9%)
- Fruit (7%)
- Alcohol (6%)
- Chips (6%)
- Cheese (6%)
