One of the ways I create some reoccurring family culture is a seasonal snack mix! I make an enormous size thing of it and keep it on the counter. I recommend getting a big two gallon jar (not expensive here) to store it this way. It feels fun and almost like a decoration. And I recommend putting it out on the counter one or two days before it is eaten for the first time at some special juncture. We love it as a popcorn mix in on movie nights.
And a scoop is sometimes served on its own from time to time as a little snack for people. (And naturally David often self serves himself impromptu handfuls as well, as he should.) My eastertime snack mix and autumn snack mix are there if you’d like to save them for then!
CHRISTMASTIME SNACK MIX
Serves like, a 2 gallon thing
a seasonal cereal, here I did a hot cocoa stars one
mini frosted shredded wheats
mini nilla wafers
white chocolate covered pretzels
white chocolate chips
mini marhsmallows
red and green m&m’s
Mix ingredients together.
Note: These ingredients are VERY free wheeling given the nature of this concept! Consider them more ideas.
