6 Michigan Treats That Will Make Santa’s Night Extra Special

Santa Claus is coming to Michigan and we must be prepared!

Traditionally, on Christmas Eve, you and your family may leave behind cookies and milk for Santa, but Santa actually want a few Michigan treats on the plate and I don't blame him.

So, rather than leaving the plain ol' cookies and milk, these are the six other "treats" you and the kids can leave out for Santa this year.

The Michigan Treats That Santa Wants

Michigan Cherry Pie

In true Michigan fashion, one treat must be with cherries.

Since Michigan is known for its cherries, a classic cherry pie is a fitting tribute to the state.

Santa would likely enjoy a slice as a sweet fuel for his journey.

Cranberry-Orange Muffins

With Michigan's abundant cranberries, these muffins offer a mix of tart and sweet flavors that Santa might crave, especially after a long night of gift-giving.

Salted Caramel Fudge

Another sweet tooth craving for good ol' Saint Nick!

A rich, decadent treat, salted caramel fudge has become a popular favorite in Michigan, and its sweet-salty combo might be exactly what Santa is craving after his busy night.

Michigan Craft Beer (for Santa's elves)

Yes, Santa may prefer milk, and he is working and cannot drink and 'drive' the sleigh (LOL), but his hardworking elves could use a pint of Michigan craft beer.

They may need a bit of refreshment after all the toy-making.

Apple Cider Donuts

This is my personal favorite idea. Since Michigan is famous for its apple orchards, apple cider donuts would likely hit the spot for Santa.

They’re warm, spiced, and more comforting than a basic cookie.

Homemade Sugar Cookies

Speaking of basic cookies, no list would be complete without Santa's favorite treats! A classic sugar cookie will always be a great option for him after delivering all of these presents all night.

While these are not the traditional treats, they highlight some of Michigan’s best local flavors and traditions!

It's a fun and creative way for parents and kids to celebrate the season!
