Swiss premium chocolate brand Läderach will release its 2026 Christmas Collection at its stores, beginning on Monday, November 2, 2026, with sales starting store by store. The lineup includes advent calendars inspired by Swiss winter scenery, truffles and pralines in holiday designs, a Christmas edition of the FrischSchoggi Stick, and chocolate figures of a playful reindeer.
Advent Calendars: One Chocolate a Day Until Christmas
Behind each small door of the advent calendars are fresh chocolates flown in from Läderach's workshop in Glarus, Switzerland. Opening one door each day turns the countdown to Christmas into a small daily treat.
The Advent Calendar Selection depicts a lively Swiss winter with Santa Claus visiting, and holds a variety of pralines along with chocolate figures. Two more calendars are also offered: the Advent Calendar Praline Selection, which focuses on pralines, and the Advent Calendar Praline Selection Dark, which highlights the depth of cacao.
- Advent Calendar Selection: ¥11,340 (tax included)
- Advent Calendar Praline Selection: ¥9,180 (tax included)
- Advent Calendar Praline Selection Dark: ¥9,180 (tax included)
Praline Assortments Inspired by Trees and Stars
The praline assortments take their motifs from scenes that symbolize a Swiss winter, such as fir trees standing in the snow and stars shining in a clear night sky. A limited flavor with a star motif joins the pralines, which are made by hand at Läderach.
The pralines come in Christmas tree-shaped and star-shaped boxes. Assortments in metal boxes are also available, so there are options to suit the recipient and the occasion.
- Praline Selection 26 pieces Christmas Tree: ¥12,852 (tax included)
- Praline Selection 16 pieces Star Box: ¥8,640 (tax included)
Chocolate Figures for the Holidays
Läderach's Christmas lineup includes chocolate figures of the playful reindeer "Finn" and of Santa Claus, all made by Läderach's chocolatiers. Snowmen and angels filled with gianduja are also part of the collection.
The small figures are suggested as gifts to bring to a Christmas party, and they can also serve as ornaments on a holiday table.

About Läderach and the Christmas Collection
Läderach was founded in Glarus, Switzerland in 1962 and has passed down its passion for chocolate and craftsmanship across three generations. Following a "Bean to Bar" approach that oversees everything from cacao sourcing to production, the brand makes its chocolate from the couverture stage in-house, finishes it by hand, and flies it in from Switzerland. Selected ingredients and careful handwork produce its flavor and smooth melt, and the chocolate is delivered in a fresh state.
For the Christmas Collection, master chocolatier Elias Läderach, who holds the title of World Chocolate Master, depicts happy Christmas scenes with a sense of play.
