The Legend of the Candy Cane

Did you know the humble candy cane has a beautiful Christmas story behind it? 🎄

Shaped like a shepherd’s crook, it reminds us of the shepherds who visited the newborn baby Jesus. Turn it upside down and it becomes the letter J for Jesus. The red stripes symbolise His sacrifice, while the white stands for purity. ❤️🤍

And that refreshing peppermint flavour? 🌿 Peppermint is linked to hyssop, a biblical herb that symbolises purity and cleansing – a perfect reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.

Do you hang candy canes on your tree, or do they disappear too quickly into little (and big!) tummies? 😉 Whether you love them for snacking or decorating, we have candy canes of all sizes and sweet candy-themed décor to make your tree and home extra festive! 🎄🍭
