Nut-Free Snack for School Parties: Celery Reindeer
As a room mom, I’m always on the hunt for cute snacks to serve at holiday school parties. My friends tease me because I tend to put my dietitian hat on to make sure there is a balance of sugary treats along with something relatively nutritious (like fruit or veggies). That’s why I created a list of my favorite nut-free holiday treats for class parties and included these sunflower seed butter celery reindeer. In fact, if the children in the classroom are old enough, you can give them the ingredients and let them make the reindeer as a fun Christmas party “snacktivity.”
