After a busy morning out hunting down our Christmas tree we came home to decorate it and I quickly whipped up a batch of Christmas Trail Mix to munch on while we were hard at work. It’s so festive looking, making it great for a party or a snack to keep on hand over the holidays. Customize it with your favorite ingredients!

Christmas Trail Mix Recipe
Ingredients
- Dried cranberries
- Sesame Sticks (I used a honey roasted variety.)
- Sunflower seeds
- Honey Roasted Almonds
- M&Ms, Christmas colors (I used a generic candy - yummy and cheaper!)
Instructions
Mix equal parts of all ingredients in a large bowl. I used 1 cup of each ingredient and got a pretty big batch. Adjust the measurements based on what you like most!

You can get as creative as you’d like but I think with that basic formula you’ll end up with a winner. Check the bulk food section of your local grocery store. That’s where I find some great ideas!
