Get Off the Naughty List and Give Bacon to Santa!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Farmland.
It’s beginning to look a lot like… bacon?
That’s right! No holiday is complete without the yummy irresistible goodness of bacon, and Christmas is no exception! As you already know by now, we are bacon lovers here in my home. It shouldn’t be a surprise then, that thought of bacon was not overlooked in planning our Christmas. While kids everywhere are gearing up to leave Santa and his reindeer cookies and milk… we figured all of that traveling would have him hungry for a bit more. When Santa visits our home, he’ll be getting bacon!
That’s just one of the fun bacon inspired ideas we have for the holidays! Thanks to the Farmland Bacon Club, we have plenty to choose from! I have my eye on that bacon pecan pie that looks amazing! There are also fun recipe ideas like candied bacon sweet potatoes and bacon cinnamon rolls for breakfast! If you’re really looking forward to sporting your love of bacon this holiday, then you’ll want to be sure to enter to win a Santa bacon sweater!
But, as you know… Christmas isn’t about receiving. It’s about giving. Sure, giving some bacon to Santa is a sweet gesture… but what about all the people who actually NEED food to eat? That’s where Farmland comes into play. To help fight hunger, Farmland has teamed up with Kansas City Royals legend, Mike Sweeney, to help encourage bacon lovers everywhere pledge that they’ll leave bacon for Santa this year. In exchange for each person who makes the pledge by tweeting #BaconForSanta, Farmland will donate up to 25,000 pounds of food to a local food bank!
All you have to do is post on your favorite social media platform.
This is a win-win situation for everyone involved (especially parents..er..”Santa’s helpers”)! Not only do you get to enjoy yummy bacon, you get to help local families enjoy a meal of their own as well. When you’re preparing for Christmas this year, don’t for get to leave out the bacon! Post with the hashtag #BaconForSanta to make your pledge today!
Oh who can resist bacon?? What a great idea on putting in bacon pecan pie.
I love bacon so Im sure Santa would be happy with it too ;) I love your headline it is a great one, and that bacon really does look nice and crispy!
Bacon pecan pie?!?! Now this is some serious food porn! So yummy. So need to give this a try!
Your heading got my attention! Lol. I would be happy with bacon so I’m sure “Santa” won’t mind. ;)
That is great they are doing this. Pretty much everybody likes bacon. =)
Wow! That bacon pecan pie looks delicious! We love bacon around here especially my son who, if given the chance, would eat bacon three times a day. :)

I love this! You really can never go wrong with bacon just because it is so good!
I bet Santa needs some bacon to keep him going all night…LOL!! This is a great post!!
I know many people that enjoy bacon with sweet stuff! I will have to give them this recipe!
Great idea. Santa will surely love this bacon.
Leaving bacon out for Santa is an interesting approach. Seems like bacon goes with just about everything these days.
Yum! Who doesn’t love bacon around the Holidays. Love your pie! Looks heavenly.
Who doesn’t love bacon? That would be a great thing to set out for Santa, he needs something to give him the fuel to go around the world in just one night!
This is actually so funny. My son is asking if he can save everything food and drink wise for Santa! He would love to save Santa some bacon.
Bacon Pecan pie sounds so delicious. My family would love it if i made one for the Holidays. Bacon is a favorite in our house.
Santa don’t need no bacon lol. Our santa would love that though, yum!
Pecan pie is my favorite! I would love to try it with bacon. If we made bacon for Santa, I’m pretty sure the kids would eat it all first.
While I like bacon, I am just not on this whole “put bacon in everything” train. I just can’t do it. lol
The bacon pecan pie looks amazing. We are bacon lovers, too, and no holiday is complete without it.
For our family, we love to prepare beef and chicken recipes. I’m sure your family will have a great time.
This does sound like a good idea! Santa would definitely appreciate some bacon. I love that Farmland will be donating to the food banks for each participant!
I happen to know first hand that Santa loves bacon over cookies. I’ll have to stock up on this brand for Santa and Ms Clause. Thanks for the idea.
I’m with you on this one! I would love to leave Santa bacon! But I can’t guarantee I won’t eat it before he shows up!
Bwahahaha. My husband walked by and saw the title of this. His comment, “We’re doing this.”
OMGosh that sounds amazing! I want a bacon pecan pie!!
ROFL! I love that idea! Bacon is GREAT! I am not sure about pecan pie with bacon, but it does sound intriguing.
Hahaha, Santa would definitley prefer bacon in our house. So would Mrs. Santa for that matter.
