In 2019, 151 million chocolate Santas were produced for the holiday season. The amount has changed little during the time period specified. Chocolate Santas are a popular Christmas treat and gift in Germany. They are also still sold in January, after the Christmas holidays, often at a discount.
Revenue from retail sales during Christmas in Germany have only been growing in recent years, amounting to over 99 billion euros in 2018. Shoppers were keen and retailers both online and off even more so. When looking at estimated Christmas spending per household in Germany, the biggest share was allotted for gifts in general, though food (and therefore quite possibly chocolate Santas) and travel also made up a sizeable portion of household budgets during the Christmas season.
