Milka Alpenmilch Alpine Milk Chocolate Santa 50g (1.8oz)

Milka Alpenmilch Alpine Milk Chocolate Santa is a 50g chocolate Santa Claus figure from Milka — the Alpine milk chocolate brand with origins in Bludenz, Austria — moulded in Milka's signature lilac-branded milk chocolate made with Alpine milk, the seasonal form that makes the Milka brand one of the most recognised providers of Christmas chocolate figures in the German-speaking and broader European market. Milka is a chocolate brand first produced as Milka chocolate in 1901 in Bludenz, Vorarlberg, in the Austrian Alps, and now one of the most widely distributed milk chocolate brands in Europe, whose Alpine milk chocolate formula — using milk from cows grazed in the Alps — has been the brand's defining claim since its earliest packaging depicted a lilac-coloured Alpine landscape. The chocolate Santa (Schokoladen-Nikolaus or Weihnachtsmann) is one of the most fundamental forms in the Central European Christmas confectionery tradition: the hollow or solid chocolate figure given to children from December 6th (Nikolaustag) through Christmas, placed in stockings and advent calendars, representing the most direct confectionery expression of the Central European Christmas sweet culture. Set in the stocking for December 6th as the traditional German-Austrian Nikolaus gift, place in the Advent calendar window as the chocolate gift for the season, give as the Christmas treat to children and adults with a connection to Central European holiday traditions, or include in a Christmas confectionery assortment alongside other seasonal chocolates.
