The classic tradition of leaving milk and cookies for Santa Claus has been targeted with the new DairyPure Santa's Milk as a way to tap into the excitement surrounding the ritual. The product from the Dairy Farmers of America (DFA)-run brand consists of whole milk packaged into a festive pint packaging to help catch the attention of shoppers in the dairy case. The product has a compact size that's perfectly portioned for leaving out with cookies for Santa Claus, is priced at $1.50 and is arriving more than 2,000 Walmart locations as well as Midwest retailers Jewel and SpartanNash.
Chief Marketing Officer of Dairy brands at DFA Rachel Kyllo commented on the DairyPure Santa's Milk saying, "We know Santa takes his milk seriously — and so do we. While we can’t claim an official partnership with the big guy, Santa’s Milk celebrates his expertise, and is just one more way to help families stay on the nice list this holiday season.”
