Peppermint Crown Candy Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 12 in by Wizardi F07M14-31-N01702B

Add a sweet sparkle to the season with the Peppermint Crown nutcracker by Wizardi — a jolly candy-land guard in a white crown-shaped hat set with gems and topped with a red pompom, a red jacket trimmed in green and white with peppermint buttons, and a fluffy white beard. He carries a staff topped with a red-and-white peppermint lollipop, with green-and-white striped legs and peppermint-swirl boots on a red-and-green striped base.

A little collector's folklore: peppermint was once given at Christmas for good digestion after the feast, and sweet shops wrapped it in red and white stripes for luck. Collectors say this nutcracker keeps the peppermints coming all season — just do not let him near the candy dish unattended.

Why this nutcracker: if your tree is dressed in candy canes, peppermints and gingerbread, he brings the whole sweet-shop theme together. His red, green and white palette works with classic decorations, and at about 12 inches he fits a kitchen shelf, windowsill or dessert table.

In the box: one Peppermint Crown nutcracker in painted wood with a white faux-fur beard and gem accents on the hat, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.
