Youngsters across the country will be excitedly looking forward to Santa visiting their home on Christmas Eve.

For many, it is a long standing tradition to leave out a selection of treats for Santa and his reindeer to enjoy after dropping off the presents.

Snacks typically include mince pies, cookies and a glass of milk, plus some carrots for Santa’s reindeer to munch on.

To help kids prepare for the special visit, Tesco is giving away free carrots in its stores for children to leave out for Rudolph and the rest of the reindeer gang.

Available in larger stores

The free reindeer treats will only be available in the supermarket’s larger stores, which include Tesco Extras and Tesco Superstores.

Children will be able to pick up some free carrots up until Thursday 24 December from the stands inside stores.
