Talking Points

Here are some consumer-focused talking points to highlight the benefits of using dairy in holiday recipes:

Powerful Nutrition in Every Serving

  • Dairy foods like milk, cheese, and yogurt deliver high-quality protein plus essential nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin D, and B vitamins, key for strong bones, energy, and immunity.
  • A small amount goes a long way. Even a single serving of dairy provides multiple nutrients many people fall short on.

Budget-Friendly Holiday Staples

  • Dairy remains one of the most affordable sources of protein and nutrient-rich foods, making it a smart choice for stretching holiday meal budgets.

Accessible and Widely Available

  • Dairy products are easy to find in any grocery store, making shopping for holiday meals and entertaining convenient, nutritious, and budget-friendly.
  • Options like lactose-free milk and ultra-filtered dairy ensure there’s something for everyone at the table.
