While Santa might have eaten all the milk and cookies, Christmas morning deserves a spoonful of sweetness, too. Instead of starting the day baking, pour a bowl of holiday cereal.
Food and holidays go hand in hand. Some people serve the same meal time that was served on their childhood table. Others pick a new recipe based on a special trip taken earlier in the year. While any tradition is a good one, starting the day with an elaborate meal could only exacerbate the stress for the long celebration.
Holiday cereals can be the perfect solution for the Christmas morning tradition. After all the wrapping paper has been thrown all over the floor, people need a quick bite before playing begins. A simple bowl of cereal can be that meal which keeps the fun and festive sentiment going.
This year, many popular cereal brands have holiday themed cereals. It blends the familiar with the festive in the best possible way.
For example, Cinnamon Toast Crunch has both the Sugar Cookie flavor and the Gingerbread Toast Crunch flavors. Both capture the flavors of the season but never lose that classic Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The Gingerbread Toast Crunch flavor can be transformed into a variety of treats, too. It is the gift that keeps on giving. And, do not forget the cereal milk.
For someone who wants an even sweeter option, the Winterfest Fruity Pebbles is a tasty option. In addition to the classic Fruity Pebbles cereal, there is a heaping amount of marshmallows in the mix. Even there is no snow on the ground, that studding of white sweetness in the bowl brings a little extra seasonal snowy vibe.
If a little less sweet option is desired, Honey Bunches of Oats has Frosted Bunches. It brings the sweetness without venturing too far onto the naughty list. It is a good compromise, especially if too many cookies were eaten the night before.
Overall, holiday cereals can be that Christmas morning tradition. Whether it is one of these cereals, a classic Cheerios, or just another favorite cereal, it is a reminder that a simple. great food will create memories. When people pour that bowl the next year, they will smile and remember all the good times. That sentiment is the sweetest gift that anyone can unwrap.
