Holiday Confection Tins

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

William Sonoma Feature a Festive Crimson Red and Typeface

— December 16, 2020 — Marketing
Drawing on classic holiday ads from the mid-19th-century and old-fashioned penny candy, William Sonoma brings some nostalgic Christmas spirit to the shelves with its Holiday Confection Tins. The line of candy boxes boasts a festive crimson red and a typeface that reminiscent of a simpler time.

These vintage-inspired tins are perfect for design-enthusiasts looking to add a novel element to their collection. "For Williams-Sonoma, and their customers, the arrival of the holidays means the return of their signature holiday confections. ...The intent is to make this line feel special, collectible, and giftable."

These giftable Holiday Confection Tins are filled with delicious Mini Licorice Candy Canes that feature a creamy filling, Red & Green Sour Spheres with cherry and apple centers, and the Sour Stars and Sour Santas with juicy flavors. Fans can purchase the tins online and in select retailers.
