Simple Christmas Themed Lunch Ideas to Make for Kids

I am so excited about today’s post. A few days of the week, my kids stay for lunch at school. The lunches I make are usually pretty boring. I try and get creative…sometimes I include funny little jokes and the odd time I will add special treats. Christmas themed lunch box

Well, I’ve decided to kick things up a notch and make a Christmas themed lunch. It’s amazing how much fun you can have when you release your imagination. I know that you can find pre-made lunch packages at the grocery store, but with a Rubbermaid LunchBlox™ Sandwich Kit, fresh fruit, veggies and your imagination and you can create something fun and healthy.

Christmas Themed Lunch for Kids

The first container holds our favourite homemade cheese crackers freshly baked in the shape of Christmas trees and gingerbread men. Top off the crackers with a cute piece of Christmas tree and gingerbread person cheddar cheese slices. I used Christmas coloured muffin tin liners to keep the crackers and cheese separate.christmas crackers and cheese

The next container is home to silly Grinch treats. Use a toothpick to skewer together a grape (with 1/3 cut off to make a straight edge), a banana slice and strawberry “hat” to make these not-so-grouchy little Grinches. grinch grapes with strawberries

For the snowman sandwich I used a large circle cookie cutter and sliced snowy white bread (a special treat in our house). There is a circle of turkey sandwich meat and havarti cheese inside the sandwich. I trimmed down a baby carrot for the nose. Push the chocolate chips into the bread for the eyes and his mouth. Again, I used the muffin tin liners to separate the red and green pepper sticks from the reindeer gingerbread cookies.snowman sandwich

This Christmas lunch is a well rounded meal, that includes all the food groups – even the all important Christmas cookie food group. I’m sure that my daughters are going to be delightfully surprised when they open their lunch bags in the school lunch room. It didn’t take any special equipment or special food make an incredibly special Christmas bento style lunch.

What Christmas character would you include in a Christmas themed lunch box?
