Christmas Sixlets – Festive Chocolate Candy in Red, Green & White
Our Christmas Sixlets bring classic candy-coated chocolate to your holiday celebrations with festive red, green, and white colors. Each piece delivers the same crisp candy shell and smooth milk chocolate center that Sixlets fans know, now dressed for the season.
We pack these in resealable bags so you can portion them into stockings, use them as party favors, or set out a bowl for guests throughout December. The three-color mix fits every Christmas theme from traditional to modern, and the compact size makes them easy to scatter across dessert tables or tuck into gift bags.
What makes these holiday chocolates special
Holiday Colors That Match Any Decor
The red, green, and white palette in Christmas Sixlets complements both vintage and contemporary holiday setups. Red matches poinsettias and traditional ribbon, green echoes evergreen garlands, and white ties into snow-themed centerpieces or minimalist Scandinavian decor.
We chose these three shades because they layer well in clear glass containers — the color contrast shows through apothecary jars, tiered stands, and vintage milk bottles. If you rotate seasonal candy displays year-round, the same striped shell coating we use for other seasonal collections ensures consistent texture and shine across every holiday.
Portioning & Packaging Ideas
Our resealable bag holds enough Christmas Sixlets to fill approximately twenty standard favor bags or twelve small mason jars. For stocking stuffers, a quarter-cup portion fits inside most knit or felt stockings without stretching the fabric.
Many customers portion them into clear cellophane bags tied with red or green ribbon, which turns a handful of candy into a finished gift in under a minute. We’ve also seen them used as place-card weights at holiday dinners — drop a small cluster onto each folded name card so the weight holds the paper upright.
Baking & Decorating Applications
Topping Brownies & Cookies
Press Christmas Sixlets gently into brownie batter during the last five minutes of baking — the candy shell holds its shape and color while the chocolate inside softens just slightly. On sugar cookies, apply royal icing first and nestle the candies into the wet icing so they adhere as it dries.
Bark & Fudge Mix-Ins
Scatter them over melted white or dark chocolate spread onto a parchment-lined sheet pan, then refrigerate until set. The contrasting colors pop against both white and dark bases. In fudge, fold them in after the fudge mixture cools to about 110°F so the coating doesn’t crack from heat shock.

Common Questions About Christmas Sixlets
Once opened, reseal the bag tightly and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Under those conditions, the candy typically maintains its crunch and flavor for four to six weeks.
Heat and humidity are the main enemies — if the storage area exceeds 75°F regularly, the chocolate inside may soften and the candy shell can develop a sticky surface. Refrigeration extends shelf life but may cause slight condensation when you bring the bag back to room temperature, so let it sit sealed for fifteen minutes before opening.
The candy coating is designed to resist bleeding when pressed into the surface of melted chocolate or wet icing. However, if you stir Christmas Sixlets directly into hot melted chocolate and hold them there for more than a minute, some color migration can occur as the coating begins to dissolve.
For best results, let your melted chocolate cool to about 95–100°F before folding in the Sixlets, or simply scatter them on top and press gently rather than stirring them through. This keeps the shell intact and the colors bright.
Yes, the milk chocolate center is identical across all our seasonal and year-round Sixlets products. We use the same recipe and the same production line, changing only the candy coating colors to match each holiday or theme.
This means if you or your family already enjoy original Sixlets, you can expect the exact same taste and texture in the Christmas edition. The only difference you'll notice is the red, green, and white exterior.
Our standard Christmas Sixlets bag contains approximately 400 individual pieces, which equals roughly two pounds of candy. Piece count can vary slightly because the candies are filled by weight, not by exact count.
If you're planning favor bags or specific portion sizes, a quarter-cup measure holds about 35 to 40 pieces, depending on how tightly they settle. A half-cup portion, which fills a small mason jar nicely, contains approximately 75 to 80 pieces.
The ingredient list for Christmas Sixlets does not include peanuts or tree nuts. However, our production facility also processes products that contain peanuts and tree nuts, so cross-contact is possible despite thorough cleaning between runs.
If you or someone you're gifting to has a severe nut allergy, we recommend consulting with an allergist before consuming. We cannot guarantee a completely nut-free environment, and trace amounts may be present.
We produce Christmas Sixlets seasonally, with inventory typically available from late September through early January. Once our holiday stock sells out in January, we do not manufacture another batch until the following fall.
If you want to secure a supply for next year or use them for an off-season event, consider ordering extra bags during the current season and storing them in a cool, dark pantry. Unopened bags maintain quality for six to eight months when stored properly.
Christmas Sixlets contain FD&C-approved color additives in the candy shell, including Red 40 and Yellow 5. If your child has a known sensitivity to synthetic food dyes, these may not be suitable.
We do not offer a natural-dye version of Christmas Sixlets at this time. If you need a dye-free alternative, consider our original Sixlets in brown, which use only cocoa and caramel coloring, though those do not come in holiday-specific packaging.
