History

Nutcrackers became popular in America through two means. One of those was World War II. Returning American GIs had been exposed to nutcrackers while serving in Europe, particularly in Germany. Many US soldiers came home with German nutcrackers as souvenirs following the war. Afterward, the spread of Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovskys ballet, The Nutcracker, spread the popularity of the figures after the ballet became increasingly popular in America in the mid-20^th century.
