The Famous Peppermint Pig - Noel (8 ounce with Hammer)
Description
The Famous Peppermint Pig™ – “Noel” Edition (8 oz with Hammer)
Step into a cherished Victorian tradition with “Noel,” the original Peppermint Pig™—a festive 8-ounce pink hard candy cast in the shape of a pig, symbolizing health, happiness, and prosperity. Born in the quaint village of Saratoga Springs, New York, this Yuletide ritual dates back to the late 1800s, when candy makers crafted these pigs as sweet tokens of good fortune. Today, Noel carries that legacy forward, inviting families to gather, share stories of the past year, and break the pig together in joyful celebration.
Each set includes:
- An 8 oz Peppermint Pig™ made of hard peppermint candy
- A red velvet pouch with tie for the ceremonial “whacking”
- A custom Peppermint Pig™ hammer to break the candy and release the good luck
How to Celebrate: After your holiday meal, place Noel in her pouch, pass her around the table, and let each person give a gentle tap while sharing a moment of gratitude or a fond memory. The broken peppermint pieces are then enjoyed together, symbolizing shared joy and hopeful beginnings.
This tradition is more than candy—it’s a celebration of connection, storytelling, and the magic of winter’s past. Perfect for holiday gatherings, hostess gifts, or anyone who loves a sweet dose of nostalgia.
