Ready for a fun Christmas treat for the kids? Let’s make a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Milkshake!
Rudolph has always had a special place in my heart. He’s probably my favorite character from Christmas time. I remember watching the stop motion animation movie and singing the song about him when I was a kid. It was always my favorite song.
Did you know he was created by the old department store Montgomery Wards? Rudolph was created by Robert L. May as a booklet to give out in the department store back in 1939.
Last year I made a polar bear milkshake for my kids. They loved it so much, I decided to try a Rudolph version this year. This is so easy to make. It’s basically an extra thick chocolate milkshake, and we added chocolate cover pretzels for antlers, a maraschino cherry for the glowing red nose, and chocolate chips for the eyes.

I did NOT know Montgomery Ward’s created Rudolph!! Mind.Blown. (Are we showing our age that we know what Montgomery Ward is?) I love this movie so much, it is a must watch every year. I will definitely need to make these milkshakes for our viewing!
Oh my gosh, so cute! My kids would love this. Great movie night treat. Visiting from 25 Christmas Movies blog hop.
Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a classic! I watched it as a kid. My kids watched it and now the grandkids are watching it. Your Rudolph milkshake is adorable and a must-have when we gather together to watch Rudolf. Oh, and I’m humming the theme song right now.
Such a cute idea! Tasty and adorable all at the same time 🙂
