The fascinating story of the Christmas nutcracker

The nutcracker originated in the forest regions of Germany, where it was traditionally handcrafted by local artisans. Originally a utilitarian object, it was used to crack nuts before becoming an essential decorative piece.

It was in the 19th century that the nutcracker acquired its magical dimension thanks to E.T.A. Hoffmann's tale "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," and later Tchaikovsky's famous ballet. Since then, the nutcracker figurine has become a universal symbol of Christmas, often representing soldiers, kings, or noble figures with their colorful uniforms and elaborate details.

This tradition continues today, and collecting nutcrackers has become a true passion for many Christmas decoration enthusiasts around the world!
