These days, you're far from limited to the dapper soldier in red featured in the classic Nutcracker ballet. Your home can be grace with nutcrackers in all shapes, sizes, and personalities. This might be controversial, but we believe some of the best nutcrackers look just a little funny. There's a theme for everyone. For instance, if A Christmas Story is a movie that you and the family go back year after year, you might consider gifting a nutcracker that pays tribute to the leg lamp scene with the A Christmas Story nutcracker. Or maybe you have a hard-core rocker with a soft spot for the holidays in your household. If so, the Gene Simmons nutcracker will certainly catch them off guard! Do you see what we mean yet? When we say there's a variety of nutcrackers out there, we mean it!

Their designers not only pay homage to popular culture, but they also embrace the tradition from which the Christmas nutcracker sprang. Collectors can find nutcrackers holding German refreshments and wearing lederhosen as well as a nutcracker loaded with grapes and tassels to honor winemaking.
