Stand at attention for the grand arrival of the Blue Soldier Nutcracker Ornament, a splendid figure poised to bring order and tradition to your festive tree. Standing a proud 6.25 inches, this stately soldier is bedecked in his holiday best: a royal blue coat accented with rich gold trim and a tall, crimson hat fit for a parade.

Born from the creative minds and skilled hands of common folk who playfully tasked regal figures with the menial cracking of nuts, the nutcracker has evolved from a practical tool to a beloved symbol of the holiday season. And while this glass replica may not grapple with walnuts or almonds, it still holds the power to crack open a smile and usher in the joy of Christmas.

This nutcracker stands ready to serve, adorned in his uniform’s vibrant red and blue hues. His carefully painted features are a testament to the craftsman’s skill, bringing to life the warm, inviting presence that has captured hearts for generations.

Far more than just another ornament, he represents the timeless tales and melodies that dance through our minds when we think of "The Nutcracker Suite." Let him take his place among the boughs, not to do battle with the Mouse King, but to stand guard over your cherished holiday moments and beloved family traditions.

Text on Old World hang tag: Nutcrackers were first carved by commoners as a joke because it was considered fun to make a little wooden king or soldier do the menial work of cracking the tough nuts. Today, nutcrackers are often associated with the Christmas holidays due to their whimsical nature and the very popular Nutcracker Suite Ballet.
