Introducing the 12th Annual Sweetest House in Town!

At HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE WORLD Attraction, traditions are made of HERSHEY’S KISSES bricks, KIT KAT shingles, and rainbow-colored JOLLY RANCHER windowsills. These candies are lovingly placed to form the HERSHEY’S Holiday Chocolate House, a festive masterpiece adored by guests and employees alike. And this year’s creation – all 169 square feet of it – does not disappoint.

For it’s not every year that the inside of the house is decorated, but this year’s theme – Santa’s Candy Shoppe and Mrs. Claus’ Bakery – deserved a few extra special touches. And so in addition to the detailed exterior, the team of decorators also meticulously laid a KIT KAT tile floor, installed a HERSHEY’S Cookies ‘n Crème ceiling, and built a tiny candy dollhouse for in the window.

Curious as to how much goes into this team effort?

• 111 employee volunteers from The Hershey Company
• 9 days of construction
• 47 types of sweet building materials
• But most importantly: $10 for every hour that is worked – and there were 522 this year – donated to Children’s Miracle Network

The most special part? You can help too! Guests may also donate to CMN through the “Candy Canes for Kids” program. Upon making a donation to CMN (minimum donation: $1), guests may write their name on a candy cane that will be placed around the house. Donations can be made at any retail or food service register at Hershey’s Chocolate World.

The house also provides a great backdrop for safe and socially-distanced photos with Santa, which are offered now through Christmas! View photo schedule.
