Why Do We Give Chocolate Coins at Christmas ?

Have you ever wondered why chocolate coins are such a beloved Christmas tradition?

The tradition of giving chocolate coins at Christmas is rooted in various historical and cultural practices, blending folklore, religion, and modern commerce into a delightful custom. This concept is believed to originate from the legend of St. Nicholas, the 4th-century Greek bishop known for his generosity. According to the story, St. Nicholas dropped gold coins down the chimneys of poor families, which later became the inspiration for the gold-wrapped chocolate coins we enjoy today.

In the modern era, chocolate coins have become a festive staple, symbolising prosperity, generosity, and the joy of giving. They make for an ideal corporate gift, combining the nostalgia of Christmas past with luxury chocolate and your business branding.

At Baxter Murray, our chocolatiers craft a selection of exquisite chocolate coins. These include the classic Merry Christmas embellished coin, available in three sizes with your choice of chocolate flavour and a personalised label on the reverse. Perfect for adding your business logo or a short message.

We also offer the in-house ability to produce bespoke design chocolate coins with your company logo crafted directly into the chocolate. Wrapped in gold foil, these coins create a unique and thoughtful gift that enhances brand recognition and appreciation.

Baxter Murray prides itself on using the finest ingredients, offering coins in rich milk chocolate, creamy white chocolate, and decadent dark chocolate. All three varieties are suitable for vegetarians and those who want to avoid alcohol.

Corporate chocolate coins are perfect for a range of business purposes. They make excellent festive gifts for clients and employees, fostering goodwill and reinforcing professional relationships. Use them as memorable promotional items at festive events or trade shows to enhance brand visibility. They also serve as unique rewards or thank-you tokens for loyal customers, adding a personal touch to your corporate interactions.

To elevate your business gifts, we provide a variety of branded packaging options. Choose from elegant organza bags or branded gift boxes. Our coins can also be attached to custom greeting cards or, with the addition of a string, used as Christmas tree decorations.

Whether as a gesture of goodwill, a token of appreciation, or a festive treat, these coins are sure to leave a lasting impression and bring a touch of magic to the festive season.
