Christmas —
The VP Bank Christmas tin

A tradition that brings joy year after year. Some objects represent so much more than what meets the eye at first glance. They tell stories, evoke memories and over the years become trusted companions. The VP Bank Christmas tin is one such object. For almost two decades, it has been part of the Advent season and has evolved into a cherished collector’s item.

Every three to four years, the Christmas tin is given a new design that combines the VP Bank’s brand identity with contemporary creative influences. The result is a series of distinctive editions that not only bring joy during the festive season, but are also often treasured long afterwards.

More about the manufacture

The Christmas tin through the years

Welcome to the magical world of the Nutcracker

With its latest Christmas tin series, VP Bank is inviting its clients into the enchanting world of The Nutcracker, one of the most famous Christmas stories of all time.

In E. T. A. Hoffmann’s tale “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King”, Marie receives an intricately crafted nutcracker on Christmas Eve from her godfather Drosselmeier. What initially appears to be a special Christmas gift develops into a fantastical adventure: the Nutcracker comes to life, battles the Mouse King and takes Marie into a magical world filled with fantasy and wonder. Each tin in the series focuses on a central character or significant setting from this timeless story, bringing another chapter of the fairy tale to life.

2026 | Drosselmeier’s Nutcracker

The series begins with its most iconic character: the Nutcracker. As a gift from the mysterious godfather Drosselmeier, he initially appears as an intricately carved wooden figure. However, it soon becomes clear that there is much more to him than initially meets the eye. With courage, loyalty and determination, he stands up to the Mouse King and becomes the hero of Marie’s adventure. He reminds us that something extraordinary can often lie behind an unassuming exterior.

Production of the Christmas tin

This personal touch shapes not only the appearance, but the entire creative process. From the initial sketch to the final design, the creative development is handled entirely by VP Bank. Each series is created in-house, giving every edition its own distinctive character.

For many years, we have relied on the expertise of A. Kopp AG in Ettingen for the manufacturing process. The Swiss specialist in high-quality tin packaging and finishing techniques oversees the production with the utmost care and skilled craftsmanship. Together, we ensure that every tin meets the highest standards of quality, workmanship and design.

The contents are held to the same exacting standard. Fine pralines, exquisite chocolate and traditional Christmas biscuits are elegantly presented in a specially developed packaging solution. Working with selected partners, we are continually developing innovative concepts. The praline insert most recently developed together with A. Kopp AG and Pawi has even been nominated for a design award.

The VP Bank Christmas tin is therefore much more than a simple festive greeting. It combines creativity, strong partnerships, craftsmanship and attention to detail, while also demonstrating our appreciation for our clients year after year.
