History of the Candy Cane
The origin of the candy cane has a long history steeped in tradition and folklore. Legend has it that it was created in Germany by a mid-17th-century choirmaster and the candy spread worldwide. It is often believed that the Germans designed the hook on the candy cane to hang it from the Christmas tree, instead of representing the shepherd’s crook. Peppermint flavoring was not added until the 18th century. It was not until the turn of the 20th century that the red and white stripes were added. The mass production of the candy cane we know today began in the 1920’s. The candy cane has come a long way since it was first designed.

The first snow was falling skillfully with the gentle movements: the new layer covered the already snow-covered surface. I wrapped my scarf around my neck and smiled; nothing in the world could compare with the excitement that Christmas gave me.
