Peppermint Chef with Gingerbread Man Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07M14-43-XC4617C

Sweeten the season with the Peppermint Chef, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a candy-shop chef in a green hat with a red-and-white candy stripe band and a cherry on top, a fluffy white beard, and a jacket painted with red-and-white peppermint swirls. He holds a peppermint lollipop and a little gingerbread man, with green trousers and brown boots dotted with peppermints on a round peppermint-swirl base.

A little collector's folklore: peppermint and gingerbread have been the twin flavours of Christmas since the first holiday markets, and collectors say this chef never runs out of either.

Why this nutcracker: if you love a candy cane kitchen or a gingerbread Christmas, he brings both together in one cheerful figure. The peppermint base makes him a true conversation piece, and at 15 inches he stands tall on a counter or mantel.

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

Collect the other treat nutcrackers in the series (F07M14-43-XC4617A, B and D), or set him beside a jar of candy canes. Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 38 cm tall (15 in). Candy cane Christmas kitchen decor, and a sweet gift for bakers and candy lovers.
