Confectionery is even more exciting when it’s themed, and here at Wholesale Sweets we’ve got plenty of Christmassy options for an amazing candy buffet!
Each year when Christmas comes around, Santa Claus is the star of the show. The jolly guy delivers joy around the whole world in one night! Therefore, if he isn’t at your candy buffet, questions may be asked. These delicious Santa Marshmallows that are sure to fit the bill, so he can literally show his face! The tasty vanilla marshmallows are fun, fluffy and festive!
Something else that we all associate with Christmas every year is snow and snowmen. Even if it doesn’t snow! Nonetheless, the snowman is a regular throughout the festive season! So when it comes to adding extra festiveness into a candy buffet, the Kingsway Snowman & Snowflakes Christmas Mallows are a perfect addition. They’re made of delicious, light vanilla marshmallow, and you’ll have plenty for any buffet in these wholesale 1kg bags!
Christmas is a magical time of year. And there’s a way you can perform your very own Christmas miracle! By channelling the yuletide spirit, you can get everyone to love brussels sprouts! Okay, so the sprouts in question are Kinnerton’s Milk Chocolate Sprouts, but the delicious chocolate balls are wrapped in foil to look just like the green veggies. You’ll definitely have much happier party guests than if you served actual sprouts!
But perhaps you’d like a more traditional Christmas chocolate on your candy buffet. Foiled chocolates are always popular come Christmas time, and Golden Bear Milk Chocolates are a great way of spreading a smile at your party. The milk chocolate shapes come with a smooth crème centre, and the foil designs are perfect for this time of year!
The same can be said of candy canes. They’re symbolic of festive confectionery! Put a twist on the classic with strawberry jelly Kingsway Candy Canes, or something more traditional like Bonds Candy Canes. Both candy canes are delicious and will add another sprinkle of festive spirit over your candy buffet!
There are some sweets that are perfect for a candy buffet – regardless of the time of year. From jelly sweets to retro favourites and many more, there are plenty of ever-present sweets that partygoers adore.
The options are nearly endless, but crowd pleasers like a tub of Haribo Gold Bears are never a bad pick. These containers of gummy goodness are ideal for candy buffets as you have plenty for everyone, plus they’re easy to organise and transport!
Swizzels Party Mix Sweet Tubs also make it easy to cater for a crowd. They contain a host of standout Swizzels sweets, with Drumsticks and Refreshers among the blend. With options for fans of chews and lollipops, you know these will make partygoers feel like kids again.
Candy buffets are pretty much like a giant pick n mix, aren’t they? So, it makes sense to include pick n mix favourites too! Here at Wholesale Sweets, we have a huge range of wholesale pick n mix, so it’s easy to find the sweets you need at great value! You’ll find ideal tubs of classics like Sweetzone Strawberry Pencils and Twin Cherries, among so many more!
Christmas time is always nostalgic, and old school sweets are a fixture of this. Laying on some of these sweets, such as Flying Saucers, will only add to the atmosphere! There are plenty of retro sweets to choose from. White Chocolate Snowie Stars are a popular throwback, as are Toffee Bonbons – or bonbons of any flavour, for that matter! You could also go for liquorice and boiled sweets, just like the ones they used to keep behind the counter!
At Christmas things are usually hectic. So being prepared is a great way to make your candy buffet run smoothly for guests and be easy for you to manage. There are a few things that can help you with this, so it’s worth thinking about how you’ll display and serve your sweets.
Obviously, if most of your buffet come in tubs or boxes, then displaying them won’t necessarily be of concern. But, if your chosen sweets come in big bags, you may want to utilise sweet jars. We stock a variety of shapes and sizes, which include Victorian style jars and even the fun festive Snowman shape which is perfect for a Christmas party!
A set of Nibbles Platters are another great presentation option. With sections for eight different sweet treats, it would be really easy to put on several mini buffets! This is ideal for a bigger function, as each table could have its own sweet selection. But, with a useful lid, they’re a smart presentation option regardless of setting!
It’s always a good idea to think how your buffet will be served. With sweets that are individually wrapped, nobody minds hands. Whereas with loose sweets, that isn’t so much the case. A scoop would solve this, as would a set of tongs – both of which are useful to keep for future parties!
Christmas comes around every year, yet we never learn, and it is always as crazy as it is exciting! With so many parties and get togethers, planning a candy buffet might seem like a wonderful idea, but one that is too stressful. That doesn’t have to be the case!
At Wholesale Sweets you’ll be able to find all the inspiration – and bulk sweets – you need this festive period! We deliver the best of the wholesale experience straight to your door! Meaning that you can enjoy great value on all of your favourite confectionery, and thoroughly enjoy the most wonderful time of the year!
