Cookies and Milk: Santa-Approved
Whether you leave out the cookies and milk to say "Thank you!" to Santa Claus or because you're saying thank you as a bribe to Santa Claus, it is an essential snack on Christmas Eve. It’s an annual tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. It’s not Christmas Eve until the jolly old elf’s favorite snack of fresh cookies and a cold glass of milk is put out for him to enjoy.
Cookies and Milk: Santa's Favorite
What is the not-so-secret reason Santa Claus chooses real milk every Christmas Eve?
Perhaps the most important reason for the holiday season is that milk gives you energy. One 8-ounce glass of milk naturally provides essential nutrients like four B vitamins (riboflavin, B-12, niacin, and pantothenic acid) to help you energize and 8 grams of high-quality protein to help you refuel and build lean muscle. Without all the additives found in alternative beverages, real milk supports wellness in a more natural way. Milk is a natural source of 4 B vitamins that help your body turn food into fuel.
No wonder at the site of cookies and milk, Santa takes a break at each home to fuel up for his biggest night of the year. While he flies around the world delivering presents to all the good girls and boys, you too can fight fatigue and fuel your body with the four B vitamins naturally found in milk. The world may not be waiting for you to slide down the chimney, but you still need the energy to celebrate as much as possible with your loved ones.
With 8 grams of complete protein per 8-ounce serving, milk helps you build muscle, stay active, and recover. Milk’s natural, high-quality protein can’t be matched by most alternatives. Compared to plant proteins, proteins from milk are more complete, higher quality, and less processed. Santa is hauling millions of gifts, batteries included. It can help you stay strong all year round.
Or maybe Santa’s favorite beverage is milk because milk is naturally nutritious. When compared side-by-side, milk contains fewer ingredients and more naturally occurring nutrients than many plant-based alternatives. Unlike many alternatives on the market, unflavored real dairy milk contains no added sugar and is naturally sweetened with lactose. Skip the added-sugar alternatives and choose real unflavored dairy milk with your favorite elf.
This year, make the most of Christmas with milk.
