Christmas Stocking Candy FAQs

What is the best candy for Christmas stockings?
The best candy for Christmas stockings is small, individually wrapped, and festive. Holiday-themed chocolate, gummies shaped like reindeer or snowmen, and candy-filled candy canes are easy picks, and mixing a few types keeps every stocking interesting.

Chocolate, candy canes, and gummies are some of the most popular Christmas candy every year. At Five Below, holiday favorites include Hershey's Kisses®, M&M'S®, Ferrero Rocher®, and Peeps®. Shop all our Christmas candy for more.

How much candy should go in a stocking?
A good rule of thumb is three to five pieces of Christmas stocking stuffer candy per stocking. Mix smaller fun-size candies near the toe with a larger candy cane or chocolate figure peeking out of the top. Adding non-candy gifts keeps the stocking balanced so treats don't completely take over.

For non-candy picks, browse our stocking stuffer ideas, pick up new Christmas stockings, and check out our dollar gifts for more small add-ons.
