Chocolate Santas & Christmas Figures
A chocolate Santa is the German way to celebrate St. Nicholas Day on December 6, when children find sweets in the boots they left out the night before. We carry hollow and solid chocolate Santas, St. Nicholas figures, snowmen and reindeer from Riegelein, Milka, Windel and Heidi, in sizes from minis to large gift figures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Germans give chocolate Santas on December 6?
December 6 is St. Nicholas Day in Germany. Children leave their boots out the night before, and St. Nicholas fills them with small gifts, most often a chocolate Santa, nuts and cookies.
What is the difference between a hollow and a solid chocolate Santa?
A hollow Santa is a thin chocolate shell in a larger shape, light and easy to break into pieces. A solid Santa is smaller and made of chocolate all the way through. Both are wrapped in decorative foil.
How should I store chocolate Santas?
Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, ideally between 60 and 68 °F. Avoid the refrigerator, which can cause a white bloom on the surface.
Are chocolate Santas a good stocking stuffer?
Yes. Mini chocolate Santas and multi-packs fit easily into stockings, and a larger hollow Santa makes a festive centerpiece for a gift basket.
