Christmas Pick N Mix

Why Pick N Mix Works as a Christmas Gift

Pick n mix is personal in a way that most gifts are not. When you build a bag around what someone actually likes - their favourite fizzy candy, the cola bottles they always go for, the chocolate chews they have eaten since childhood - it shows that you paid attention. That is hard to replicate with a box of assorted chocolates from a supermarket shelf.

Christmas is also a time when people tend to want to treat themselves and the people around them. A generously filled pick n mix bag always goes down well on a Christmas table, makes a brilliant stocking filler and works as a party candy spread when decanted into bowls. It is one of those gifts that disappears quickly and leaves everyone happy.

What to Add to Your Christmas Pick N Mix

The Poppin Candy pick n mix range includes Fizzy Bubblegum Reindeers as a festive candy you can drop straight into your bag. Beyond that, the full year-round range gives you plenty to work with - red and green candy, cola bottles, sour belts and gummies all lend themselves to a Christmas mix without needing to be festive-branded.

For licensed Christmas tins, novelty products and seasonal items, the Christmas candy collection is separate and worth browsing alongside your pick n mix order.

Christmas Pick N Mix for Parties

Pick n mix works brilliantly as a party candy table at Christmas gatherings. Order a larger quantity split across a range of candy and serve them in bowls or jars for guests to help themselves. A mix of red, green and white candy creates a naturally festive colour scheme without needing any extra decoration.

For office Christmas parties, pick n mix bags make low-cost but appreciated gifts for colleagues. Personalising each bag to individual preferences takes a little more effort but makes a much stronger impression than a generic gift. Order in bulk and use the pick n mix builder to customise each one.

How to Build Your Christmas Pick N Mix

Start with the candy you know the recipient loves and build outward from there. A good pick n mix bag usually includes a mix of textures - some chewy, some fizzy, some soft - and a balance between candy and sour. A mix of around eight to twelve different candy tends to give the best variety. 

If you are building a bag as a gift, consider the packaging. Our pick n mix bags arrive sealed and look the part as a present. For an extra gift-ready finish, the gifting collection includes bowl gift boxes that make a strong impression without needing any extra wrapping.

Pick N Mix for Christmas Stockings

A pick n mix bag fits neatly into a Christmas stocking and is one of the best ways to add something personal to what might otherwise be a collection of generic small gifts. See the stocking fillers collection for more ideas on filling out a stocking with candy and treats.
