Chocolate Milk: The Official Drink of Halloween! {Giveaway}

got milk halloween

Who doesn’t love chocolate milk? It is like a mixture of really good for you with just a hint of naughty. What’s not to love?

This October, trick-or-treaters will fill the streets in search of sweets. But this Halloween, moms will have a chance to learn how to make this season a little healthier. Experts agree that serving lowfat chocolate milk – The Official Drink of Halloween – is a delicious and nutritious alternative with a taste kids love and moms can feel good about serving. To celebrate this spook-tacular beverage, The Official Drink of Halloween team is hosting free Halloween-themed events at places filled with strong bones in 25 cities coast-to-coast.

If you live in Minnesota like me, you’ll want to know that the Official Drink of Halloween Tour is coming to Minneapolis on Friday, October 30 to host a Halloween-themed event. Local Minneapolis and surrounding area residents can sample chocolate milk from their local dairies at the Minnesota Children’s Museum from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. At the free event, residents can also take their very own celebrity-inspired Milk Mustache photo and gather fun Halloween-themed prizes and giveaways – all while learning quick and easy tips for a healthy and safe Halloween season!

While many of the events are already over, some of you still have the opportunity to attend if you live near these cities:

  • Salt Lake City (10/20) Discovery Gateway 12 pm – 2 pm
  • Dallas (10/21) Museum of Nature & Science 11 am – 1 pm
  • Greenville (10/21) Sky Top Apple Orchard 11 am – 1 pm

Here’s a spooky fact: two out of three kids fail to get enough calcium and studies show that kids who drink chocolate and other flavored milks have higher calcium intakes than those who don’t. They also tend to drink fewer sugary sodas and fruit drinks and are more likely to be at a healthy weight compared to kids who drink little or no milk.
