Christmas Edition Gummy Bears

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Haribo Christmas Gummy Bears Are Delightfully Festive

— July 1, 2015 — Lifestyle
A fun holiday-inspired extension of a staple gummy candy brand, these Haribo Christmas gummy bears are nostalgic as much as they are festive. Without the use of much more than a seasonal color scheme, Haribo is able to position their feature product as a stocking stuffer essential. A great addition to a holiday party candy buffet, these yummy holiday candies are also a step up from the old fashioned mix that often go unclaimed.

Since Christmas involves imagery that resonates with the majority of consumers (whether they celebrate the holiday or not), the product is automatically linked to familiar stories that serve a higher symbolic purpose. Given that most people see the season as a time to forget diets and calorie counting, the sweet gummy candies are a no-brainer when considering indulgent sweets.
Trend Themes
1. Holiday-themed Gummy Candies - Opportunity for companies to create special edition gummy candies for different holidays, tapping into consumers' nostalgia and festive spirit.
2. Stocking Stuffer Essential Products - Companies can capitalize on the tradition of stocking stuffers by creating specialized products that are small in size, affordable, and appeal to a wide range of consumers.
3. Upscale Holiday Party Treats - There is a market for high-quality, gourmet holiday candies that can be used as a premium treat at holiday parties, offering a more sophisticated alternative to traditional candies.
Industry Implications
1. Confectionery Industry - Confectionery companies can explore the creation of seasonal, limited-time products that cater to the holiday season and tap into consumers' desire for novelty and special treats.
2. Gift and Novelty Industry - Companies specializing in gifts and novelties can offer holiday-themed sets or assortments of gummy candies as attractive and affordable options for holiday shoppers.
3. Event Planning and Catering Industry - Event planners and caterers can consider including high-quality holiday-themed gummy candies as a part of their offerings for festive occasions and holiday parties.
