Now you may be asking yourself, can I put glitter in reindeer food? I know it’s tempting to make the reindeer food sparkle, but I do not suggest using real glitter or sequins.

Since this holiday mixture will be left outside, the glitter could cause stomach problems if live animals eat it. If you’d like the look of glitter, here’s a safe and edible option from Amazon.

For even more fun, turn the bags into cute reindeer with googly eyes, a brown pipe cleaner, and a red pom-pom.
