You know my LOVE for these cute bottles (Starbucks Frappuccino Bottles)…so you must have know I would have to come up with another Christmas gift using them. I wanted to make something that would be fun to give to the kids friends that were cute and pretty inexpensive.
I came up with a Santa’s Sweets and a Reindeer Nuggets version based loosely off of these Easter Bunny Gift Jars and the Monster Munchies that I shared earlier this year. I kind of enjoy the challenge of creating something new for each holiday.
I added a mixture of red Sixlets and red Gumballs in the Santa’s Sweets jar to represent Santa’s red nose. (I figure after riding in the sleigh on a wintry Christmas night his nose has got to be red). Then I included a little gift tag that reads:
“He “NOSE” if you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!”
You can also substitute the red noses to go in Rudolf’s jar to go along with Rudolph’s red nose. Whatever one you prefer will work with this I think, don’t you?
For the Reindeer Nuggets, I took some gold foil Rolo’s and added these festive Rolo Christmas stickers I made, based on my Valentine Kiss Stickers and Father’s Day Kiss Stickers that were also shared earlier this year.
To make them, you simply print the free download on white paper or white cardstock. Then take a 3/4 inch punch (found in scrapbook section of craft stores) and punch out the individual circles. Then simply glue them onto the bottom of the Rolos (or the candy kisses) with a glue stick. My kids always LOVE to help me with this job and I am happy to let them help!
Now that you have finished with the candy part…you can make Santa and Rudolph’s heads! I have provided you with a free downloadable pattern that you can use to make your own out of colored scrapbook paper.

Thank you so much Lauren! I really appreciate it. Hope you are able to make some! Would love to see them if you do!
I really appreciate that you included a template that is to be used with scissors. :) I would love to have a silhouette but do not and a lot of ideas out there require one. Totally cute reindeer and Santa!
I know! I try to create pdfs so that you can make your 0wn stencils…I know most of you don’t have a cutting machine. I will try to do more!

These are adorable! Can you please post the free download again with the Santa, reindeer heads and the candy circles or email it to me? I would love to give these as teacher and office gifts!!! Thank you!!!
I love how you repurposed bottles to be gift containers! I drink tons of these Frapaccinos so I could totally save these up and make them into gifts. I’ll have to try this out and see how it goes!
It looks adorable! Thanks for sharing this post to prepare Santa’s Sweets and a Reindeer Nuggets jar at home. Keep posting!
Thank you!
Is there any way to download these darling printables without getting on facebook? I no longer have an account. If you’re able to send to my email, I know my family would love receiving one of these cute jars at Christmas. Thank you!
