It’s a longstanding Christmas Eve tradition to leave out cookies and milk for Santa. But what happens if kids pour a big glass of milk for Santa before they go to bed around 9 p.m. – but then he doesn’t arrive until well after midnight? It’s not going to taste fresh, and might even be not safe to drink.
Milk for Santa
A better idea is to leave out a carton of shelf safe milk with those cookies. It’s Grade A, real milk that doesn’t require refrigeration until it’s opened (no preservatives added). Single-serving milk cartons can be stored in the pantry for up to six months without refrigeration.
Santa can take the convenient carton with him to sip in the sleigh as he heads on to the next house…without worrying about spilling!
Milk Unleashed is an educational campaign aimed at families to let them know about shelf safe milk. It is real, Grade A milk that is ultra pasteurized, packaged in a shelf safe Tetra Pak carton that doesn’t require refrigeration until opened, with no preservatives added. So there’s no need to sacrifice nutrition when the family is on the go.
