The holidays are a time for love, laughter, and traditions—and your dog deserves to be part of the festivities too! Whether it’s indulging in seasonal treats, sharing special moments, or finding creative ways to spoil your pup, there are so many ways to make the season magical for your four-legged family member. Here’s how you can make your holiday traditions paw-sitively unforgettable this year!
1. Create a Holiday Enrichment Toy
Dogs love a challenge, and the holidays are the perfect time to give them one! Stuff a stocking or puzzle toy with Northern Biscuits, pairing it with seasonal scents like cinnamon or a sprig of dog-safe rosemary to enhance the experience. Watching your dog work for their rewards is as entertaining as unwrapping your own gifts!
For a cozy DIY option, take an old (clean) holiday sock, fill it with small biscuits, and knot the top for a simple and engaging game. It's a fun, festive way to keep your pup mentally stimulated while you sip your cocoa by the fire.
2. Share a Holiday Movie Night
What’s better than snuggling up with your dog on a chilly winter night? Create a cozy holiday movie tradition by making a dog-friendly bark-cuterie board (featuring Northern Softies for a no-mess experience) while you enjoy classics like The Grinch or Home Alone. Your dog might not follow the plot, but they’ll love being included in the fun.
3. Snap the Perfect Holiday Photo
Capture the joy of the season with a holiday photo booth for your dog. Set up a backdrop with twinkling lights, grab some props like reindeer antlers or a Santa hat, and let your dog’s personality shine.
Bonus points if you pose with a Naughty or Nice Biscuit to show off your pup’s “holiday spirit.”
4. Give the Gift of Playtime
While we exchange presents with loved ones, your dog will appreciate the gift of your time and attention. Whether it’s a winter hike, a game of tug with a new toy, or just some quality belly rubs, these simple moments are what make the season bright—for both of you!
5. Naughty or Nice? Let the Treats Decide!
When it comes to holiday indulgence, Northern Biscuit’s Naughty or Nice Biscuits are the ultimate festive treat. These fun and flavorful biscuits come with a mix of big and small bits—big treats for "Nice" pups and smaller ones for "Naughty" moments. But here’s the twist: both are equally delicious!!!
These treats make a perfect stocking stuffer, or you can scatter them into an enrichment toy for a festive twist on playtime. Your dog will love sniffing out these holiday-themed snacks—and we guarantee they won’t care if they get a "Naughty" or "Nice" piece!
The holidays are all about sharing joy, and who better to share it with than your furry best friend? With Northern Biscuit’s Naughty or Nice treats and a little creativity, you can build traditions that make the season extra special for your dog. After all, they’ve been by your side all year—they’ve definitely earned a few extra belly rubs and treats.
Here’s to making this holiday season a tail-wagging success!
Happy Howlidays from Northern Biscuit! 🎄🐾
