Santa’s Coming to Lunch!

We’re always on the lookout for ways to make lunch for the kiddos not only nutritious but fun. We asked one of our favorite bloggers, Beau of Lunchbox Dad, to create a holiday lunch that will go down in Christmas history books for being as delicious as it is awesome thanks to its Santa theme! Read on for Beau’s instructions on recreating this feast at home.

I absolutely love this time of year! The lights, the decorations, and the festive movies all make this the most exciting time of year for my family and me. One of the best parts of the holidays is the food. I don’t think there is a better season for food than Christmas time. So why not turn your food into part of the decorations? I created a new Santa lunch for my kids and rounded it out with some incredible Christmas place settings from Pottery Barn Kids!
