On Christmas Eve, millions of children around the world leave cookies and milk out for Santa Claus. It's one of the oldest and most beloved Christmas traditions. But have you ever wondered which cookies are Santa's favorites? Let's find out.
The tradition of leaving food for Santa comes from old European customs where children left out treats for Father Christmas or St. Nicholas to say thank you for the gifts he brought. Over the years, this became the cookie-and-milk tradition we know today. It's a way of showing Santa that you appreciate him and are thinking of him on his big night.
Santa has visited so many homes over the years that he has tried almost every kind of cookie imaginable. His all-time favorites include classic chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies decorated with Christmas shapes, snickerdoodles dusted in cinnamon sugar, and gingerbread men. Mrs. Claus also bakes a special batch of oatmeal raisin cookies that Santa takes with him in the sleigh as a snack for the journey.
Every single one. Santa makes a point of eating at least a bite of every cookie left for him. He considers it rude to leave a child's gift uneaten. That said, Santa has visited hundreds of millions of homes over hundreds of years, so he has learned to pace himself. Sometimes he takes a small, polite bite and saves the rest for the reindeer.
Santa loves a cold glass of milk with his cookies. It washes everything down perfectly and gives him energy for the rest of his journey. If your family prefers, hot cocoa is also a wonderful option, especially on cold December nights.
