Donkey Cart Santa Candy Container - German Paper Mache Christmas Collection

Blue-Coated Santa Candy Container - German Paper Mache Christmas Collection

This exquisite German-made holiday figure captures a heartwarming scene from traditional Alpine folklore: Father Christmas traveling by donkey-drawn wooden cart, his sack overflowing with handmade gifts. Dressed in a vintage-style felt coat and hood, he holds a snowy evergreen switch topped with a tiny toy lamb—symbols of both reward and reflection from old Saint Nicholas tales.

The cart is adorned with miniature wreaths, rustic packages, and tiny wooden toys tied with red thread—each one handcrafted with remarkable attention to detail. From the weathered look of the donkey’s harness to the expressive hand-painted face of Father Christmas, this piece radiates authenticity and charm.

Inspired by 19th-century German customs, this display piece reflects the era when gifts were simple, heartfelt, and delivered with the quiet magic of winter’s stillness.
