Are your little ones planning what to leave out for Santa and Rudolf this Christmas? Are your snacks on these lists at all?
Festive Brits will leave out more than £98 MILLION worth of snacks for Santa and his reindeer this Christmas Eve – including beers, crisps and avocados.
The average value of nibbles left out for Santa Claus and his reindeer is £1.58, meaning St Nick and Rudolph will scoff a small fortune’s worth of treats, veggies and boozy beverages.
Festive folk in Birmingham are the most generous, gifting the Christmas crew treats worth an average of £2.06, while those in York are stingiest, shelling out just £1.02 for their services.
Santa and his reindeer are set to scoff 3,063 tonnes of carrots alone, left for them. Unfortunately Rudolph won’t have much use for this haul, as reindeer only have a bottom row of teeth and, contrary to popular believe, are unable to eat carrots. I mean who knew?
