250th Celebration Soldier Nutcracker

The Continental Army was mustered by the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1775, a full year before the Declaration it would go on to defend. This nutcracker soldier, officially licensed for America's 250th anniversary, stands in parade dress in tribute to that history.

More about the soldier

The nutcracker soldier tradition began in Germany's Erzgebirge region, where woodcarvers shaped nutcrackers into kings, soldiers, and guardsmen believed to stand watch over the household and bring good luck. It's a fitting shape for a piece marking America's 250th year: a soldier standing guard over the anniversary itself.

The Continental Army was already a year into the fight for independence by the time the Declaration made the cause official. This piece stands in salute to that legacy, finished in parade dress for the occasion.
