'Tis the season for last-minute gifting! Need a quick, easy, and totally delicious present for teachers, neighbors, friends, or anyone else on your list?
This Christmas Chex Mix in a jar is the perfect solution! It's festive, fun, easy to make, and is the perfect last minute mason jar gift idea to give to family and friends over the holiday.
Plus, we've included free printable gift tags to make your present extra special.
Growing up, Chex Mix was a mystery to me. It wasn't until I met my husband that I discovered this addictive snack – and it was always homemade.
His family gatherings featured a seemingly endless bowl of his mom's special recipe. I didn't even realize Chex Mix came in a bag until years later!
This recipe uses the store-bought variety for convenience, but if you're feeling ambitious and want to create your own from scratch, be sure to check out my Candy Cane Chex Mix. It's the perfect way to take this festive snack to the next level.

Christmas Labels for Jars
Step 3: Using the lid of the mason jar as a template, trace out circles that we're going to use to cover up the top of the lids. Cut out the circles and place on top of the jar lid. Screw the jar lid into place. Finally, print out the labels and attach them to the mason jar with the twine.

Mason Jar Mix Storage Tips
Pantry: This recipe should last up to 2 weeks if stored in the pantry closet. Try not to store the jars on the counter in direct sunlight. That could cause the contents to go stale quicker. Make sure you close the jar completely after each serving.
