What is Magic Reindeer Food? A New Christmas Tradition

In schools across the festive season, a beloved tradition takes shape in the form of whimsical “reindeer food” bags. A reindeer food bag is a delightful combination of oats and glitter, forming a magical blend that captures children’s imaginations and spreads the joy of the holidays. 

When sprinkled on the lawn on Christmas Eve, the oats become a treat for Santa’s trusty reindeer as they embark on their journey around the world, while the glitter acts as a homing beacon guiding Santa’s reindeer to their destination. Making reindeer food bags sets the tone for a magical holiday during the week leading up to Christmas.
