An easy and delicious Reindeer Muddy Buddies Christmas snack mix that is perfect for the holidays! This snack mix is filled with muddy buddies, pretzels, M&Ms, and peanut butter cups!
I know, we already have a muddy buddies recipe and we already have a 5 minute Christmas snack mix but whenever I go to parties and like a certain combination in a snack mix I want to make it at home.
There’s nothing I love more than a quick and easy snack mix that the kids can make with me.
Any chance we’ve got to get together over something delicious is kind of a big deal these days. With three kids it’s busy, but since our three are totally different ages and not at all on the same playing level little traditions like making snack mixes is the perfect way for them to connect.

Christmas Snack Mix Storage Tips

Variation ideas for Snack Mixes
- Replace some of the pretzels with popped plain popcorn
- A white chocolate or milk chocolate drizzle with sprinkles is always fun!
- Use chocolate covered pretzels instead of plain pretzels
- Add in mini marshmallows (marshmallows will not keep)
- Throw in peanuts or cashews
Gather your kiddos of all ages in the kitchen and make this Christmas snack mix! We love to put some in cellophane bags and deliver them to friends in the neighborhood.
