Tips for Preparing and Packing Christmas Snacks
Plan ahead: Schedule and prepare snacks in advance to save time during busy mornings. Never save a recipe or shopping trip for a school morning!
Get the kids involved: Encourage them to help with preparation, creating a sense of ownership and excitement over the snack.
Safe and practical packaging: Choose appropriate containers and packaging that maintain freshness and prevent spills, and that kids can easily open without help.
What snacks to bring to a school Christmas party
When it comes to a holiday party, you can go homemade or pre-packaged. Neither is bad - but verify with your school what is allowed. Some have strict rules due to food allergies!
Easy Grab-and-Go Premade Snack Ideas
No time to cook? No problem! Here are some pre-packaged snacks that are perfect for the school Christmas party.
- Nut-free trail mix packets
- Mini granola bars
- Sliced fruit cups
- Veggie sticks with individual hummus cups
- Cheese and whole grain cracker packs
- Yogurt tubes or squeezable yogurt pouches
- Popcorn snack bags
- Rice cakes or mini rice cake stacks
- Dried fruit and seed packets
- Fruit and vegetable squeeze pouches
Benefits of Homemade Christmas Snacks for School
If you have the time, energy, and interest in making a homemade treat for school, it can be a great option.
Some homemade treats are healthier than processed and sugary store-bought snacks.
Once again, be sure to ask about dietary considerations and cater to allergies, dietary restrictions, and individual needs.
