Holiday Collection
St. Nickolas, Krampus & More!
German-inspired holiday traditions bring a rich cultural charm to Christmas celebrations in America. Advent calendars, which originated in Germany, are a popular way to count down the days until Christmas, and saying "Frohe Weihnachten" (Merry Christmas) adds a special touch to festive greetings. Many families also enjoy baking traditional treats like lebkuchen and stollen, along with decorating their homes with handcrafted ornaments and lighting Advent wreaths.
A unique twist to German holiday traditions is the inclusion of Krampus, the mischievous companion of St. Nicholas. On December 6th, children celebrate St. Nicholas Day by leaving out their shoes for small gifts, while Krampus, with his spooky legend, adds a fun, playful element to the season.
By incorporating German traditions like St. Nick's Day, Krampus, and traditional foods, families create a festive, culturally rich holiday that blends Old-World traditions with modern-day celebrations.
