The holiday season is upon us, and there’s nothing more magical than preparing for Santa’s visit! If your family is anything like mine, setting out milk and cookies for Santa is a cherished tradition. To make it even more special this year, I’ve created a fun and festive free printable Santa placemat that your little ones will love!
A Special Christmas Eve Tradition
Christmas Eve is a big occasion in our family. My husband is Polish so we always have a Christmas Eve feast and open gifts with his family. This is one of our favourite celebrations all year and equally as special as our Christmas day festivities.
But before we can head to bed that night, we’ve got to make sure Santa is sorted! The kids love putting out a class of milk and a treat for Santa on Christmas Eve. Some years, it’s homemade cookies. Sometimes he gets homemade rum balls!
And of course, we can’t forget the reindeer with a carrot or two. Well, except that year we didn’t have any carrots in the veggie chiller and they ended up with a capsicum! I’m sure they loved it…
The kids get so excited knowing that Santa will enjoy their treats while they’re fast asleep. This year, I wanted to add an extra touch of holiday magic, so I designed this adorable cookies and milk Santa placemat that’s just perfect for this Christmas tradition.
