Unwrapping gifts under the tree takes soooo long, right? Going to town on what's inside a stocking is where all the action is at.
The best stocking stuffers are small gifts and gourmet treats everyone can enjoy throughout the holidays. Our 14 picks include chocolate truffles, hot cocoa, coffee, Moose Munch® Premium Popcorn, a snickerdoodle cookie mix, peppermint bark, maple syrup, and a pair of giant Royal Riviera® pears.
Stocking stuffers are often the first thing your family opens on Christmas. They're just hanging in that giant sock that hangs from the mantel, waiting to be attacked. (What do you do if you don't have a mantel? Are you allowed to hang stockings from some other place? Who do we talk to about this?) Anywho, Christmas stockings should not only be hung from the mantel with care, but also stuffed full with small gifts and gourmet treats that everyone can enjoy throughout the holidays.
We've put together a list of our favorite stocking stuffer ideas from our Holiday Gift Guide that your loved ones will delight in pulling out of their stockings come Christmas morning.
Stocking Stuffer Ideas at a Glance
Stocking stuffers work best as small, giftable treats. Our picks fall into four types: chocolate and candy, hot cocoa and coffee, snacks and baking mixes, and pantry or fruit favorites like maple syrup and Royal Riviera® pears. Choose a few from different groups to round out a stocking, or use the Choose-Your-Own Stocking Stuffers pack to fill several at once.

Holiday Hot Chocolate Tin Collection
Holiday Hot Chocolate Tin Collection
Shop : Holiday Hot Chocolate Tin Collection from Harry & David
If your Yule log has entered the digital age, then you'll need something to actually keep you warm while you sit around listening to the crackling sounds of fake flames. Nothing is cozier than a warm mug of hot cocoa on Christmas morning. (OK, maybe being wrapped in a Sherpa-lined blanket while sipping the cocoa.) This Holiday Hot Chocolate Tin Collection includes four festive tins, each filled with a different cocoa flavor (peppermint, white chocolate, milk chocolate, and caramel), making it easy to split between stockings. Just add warm water — not to the stocking, of course — to any mug. Or, for a creamier brew, use warm milk. Mustache not included.

Holiday Coffee

Holiday Cinnamon Swirl Coffee from Harry & David
While the kids are sipping on the aforementioned hot cocoa, their parents will be enjoying the wake-up juice you so generously gifted them. (And they'll need it after little Tiffany and Johnny woke up at 4:30 a.m. to start tearing into their presents.) Pick Holiday Cinnamon Swirl Coffee, a 12 oz bag of whole bean Arabica coffee, or Dark Chocolate Candy Cane Coffee, a 12 oz bag of whole bean coffee that pairs peppermint with dark chocolate. Or tuck in one of each. After a few hours of the hurricane known as Christmas morning comes blowing through, those adults might want to consider making this cup of java a more potent one.
