The Snoopy Drummer Nutcracker

While nutcrackers were originally designed as functional tools in 17th-century Germany to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck, this Peanuts-inspired version is strictly for festive flair. Snoopy is dressed in his finest drummer’s regalia, featuring a red and gold suit and a feathered hat. The inclusion of the drum is a subtle nod to the "The Little Drummer Boy," a carol that gained massive popularity in the 1950s—the same decade that Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang became a household name across the country.

Crafted from a mix of solid wood and resin, this figure brings a touch of Charles Schulz's whimsy to the traditional nutcracker silhouette. Snoopy has played many roles over the years, from a World War I flying ace to a novelist, but here he stands ready to lead the holiday parade. The piece is finished with shimmering mica accents, giving it a light frost-like sparkle that catches the light on a mantel or bookshelf. This charming drummer stands at exactly 10 inches tall.
