The Christmas market, at home

Lebkuchen hearts, Magenbrot, burnt almonds and Dominosteine, the flavors of a German Weihnachtsmarkt, delivered to your door.

A German Christmas, from Advent to Christmas Eve

In Germany, the holidays start on December 1 with the first door of the advent calendar. On December 6, children leave their boots out for St. Nicholas and wake up to chocolate Santas, nuts and cookies. Through the weeks that follow, every home has a plate of Christmas baking on the table for coffee and visitors.

The classics on every German holiday table

Stollen is the Christmas bread, rich with butter, dried fruit and often a marzipan center. Lebkuchen is Germany's soft gingerbread, from glazed hearts to nut-rich Elisenlebkuchen. Small, spiced Pfeffernüsse and the wider range of German Christmas cookies, such as Spekulatius, Dominosteine and Zimtsterne, round out the cookie plate.

Chocolate and gifts

Our German Christmas chocolate covers tree ornaments, Christmas balls and seasonal bars. For gifting, Christmas gift tins and Austrian Mozartkugeln are favorites, and our German marzipan belongs on every holiday plate.

Most of these specialties are only made for the season, so popular items sell out before Christmas. Order early for the best selection.

Questions about German Christmas food

What are traditional German Christmas foods?

The classic German Christmas sweets are Stollen, Lebkuchen (German gingerbread), Pfeffernüsse, Spekulatius, Dominosteine, Zimtsterne and marzipan. Advent calendars and chocolate Santas for St. Nicholas Day on December 6 are part of the season too. You can shop all of them in this collection.

When should I order German Christmas treats?

As early as you can. Most German Christmas specialties are produced only once a year, and bestsellers like advent calendars, Stollen and Lebkuchen often sell out in December. Ordering in October or November gives you the full selection and leaves time for shipping.

Where do you ship German Christmas food?

We ship German Christmas food across the USA from our warehouse in Little Ferry, New Jersey. Check our shipping policy for delivery times and holiday cutoff dates before you order.

What makes a good German Christmas gift?

Popular gifts are a Stollen, a tin of Lebkuchen or assorted cookies, a German advent calendar or a box of Mozartkugeln. For German expats, familiar brands like Lambertz, Wicklein, Milka and Riegelein bring back the taste of Christmas at home.
