(MYFOX NATIONAL) - A Wisconsin grocery store celebrated a "dairy" Merry Christmas with a life-sized version of Santa. Artists used 640 pounds of mild cheddar cheese to sculpt a 5-foot 6-inch St. Nick.

Pick and Save, a Milwaukee grocery store, is displaying the cheesy sculpture of Santa Claus for the holidays. The Wisconsin Milk Board sponsored the event.

The leftovers from the carving were served as samples at the supermarket, according to WKOW-TV reports.
