Candy Canes

from Relaxing Facts · host Chad K

Send us Fan MailDuring the month of December, we are discussing all things Christmas. On this week’s episode, we talk about candy canes. They actually began as plain white sugar sticks in 17th-century Europe, but legend says a German choirmaster bent them into shepherd’s crooks to calm restless kids during Christmas services. With the later addition of bright red stripes, peppermint flavor, and machines that could bend thousands at a time, they evolved into one of the most nostalgic symbols of the holiday season. So grab a cup of hot cocoa, sit back, and enjoy these relaxing holiday facts set to soothing background music!Music by Piotr Witowski via Pixabay
