Nutcracker Sweet - HUM 2130 HSC 69139093

A Whimsical Tribute to German Holiday Heritage: Celebrate the shared legacy of two iconic German traditions with Nutcracker Sweet (HUM 2130). While Hummel children and traditional Nutcrackers may seem different, they share a historic journey: both became beloved symbols of Germany after American GIs discovered them as high-quality, sought-after gifts following World War II.

This charming figurine pays homage to the "nutbiters" that originated in the Alpine regions as early as 1650 and the famous Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) craftsmanship of the 1870s. Just as Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker ballet brought these figures to world fame, this M.I. Hummel creation brings that theatrical magic to your holiday mantle. It is a perfect blend of the colorful, doll-like charm of the Saxon Ore Mountains and the gentle innocence of Sister Hummel’s art.

Combine the Nutcracker Sweet with these other holiday classics to create a village scene rich in Bavarian history:

• St. Nikolas Was Here (HUM 2012) – Add the magic of a Bavarian Christmas morning to your display.

• Ruprecht (HUM 473) – The legendary companion to St. Nicholas, perfect for a folklore-themed gallery.

• Winter Days (HUM 2072) – A classic sledding scene to complement the "childhood joy" of the Nutcracker story.

• Girl with Fir Tree (HUM 239/D) – The essential holiday forest companion for your seasonal setup.
