The Nutcracker Sweet Shop

About Us

CLOSING DOWN It is with much regret that we have made the decision that we have, but due to ongoing health issues with myself, I am unable to continue with our much loved little shop. We have enjoyed the past 2 1/2 years so much and have made some really good friendships along the way. We will be here until approximately December 2024 or until the stock runs out. We have a lot of stock to sell before now & then. Hope to see you all over the next 6 to 8 months and let yourself have a little retail therapy, or a lot, whatever you choose, the choice is yours, at GREATLY REDUCED PRICES. Maybe get some really great pieces that you thought you would never own to add to your Christmas Collection.
DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME OF ONLINE ORDERS AT THE MOMENT YOU MAY NOT RECEIVE YOUR PARCELS AS QUICKLY AS YOU WOULD NORMALLY. BUT REST ASSURED WE ARE WORKING ON THEM AND YOURS WILL BE PROCESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Welcome to The Nutcracker Sweet Shop. This shop is the dream of two people Jennifer and Martin. The idea was that we were going to move to Hervey Bay and open another Sweet Shop, but then Jennifer's obsession with all things Christmas got the better of her and hence the idea of opening a Christmas and Candy Shop was born. Jennifer's other obsession was collecting Teddy Bears and you guessed it, there are one or two around the Shop. Well, maybe a few more than one or two, quite a lot actually. We hope that everyone in the Hervey Bay region will be proud of our store and want to bring all their family and friends to visit when they're in town.

Our Story

After operating a Lolly Shop in Canberra for the past 24 years, we decided that a Sea Change in Queensland, somewhere, was the order of the day. We had an obsession for all things Christmas, so you guessed it, why not combine the two (Christmas & Candy). Although we had planned to have our new shop open before Christmas, 2021, I'm afraid that was not able to be achieved because of Covid. We were finally able to cross the Queensland border back in mid December, 2021 and then set out to find a site to operate our dream shop. We stumbled across this building beginning of January and there was born The Nutcracker Sweet Shop which officially opened 1st March, 2022. We were always going to be open 12 months a year, so no real harm was done with the late opening. We hope everyone will love our shop as much as we do. The comments from our customers so far have all been totally positive and they are all loving what we have done. We constantly have new products arriving which still gets us excited every single box that we open.
