The little Christmas elf is approximately 26 cm tall, 11 cm wide, and 10 cm deep.
The Nutcracker Christmas elf dates from 2025. The Christmas elf is made by Christian Ulbricht.
“Wood couldn’t be more beautiful.”
The Nutcracker Christmas elf is colorfully painted. He wears green clothes with red decorative stitching and has a red pointed cap with a bell. In his hand, he holds a hobby horse, which he made in the workshop style.
He wears red and white striped stockings. His shoes are dark. His face appears cheerful and lively. The colors stand out clearly. He looks like he’s having fun.
The Nutcracker is made of genuine local wood.
Each piece is hand-painted and assembled. And the shapes are lovingly turned. The quality is typical Ulbricht: high. And the weight is delicate: only approximately 310 g.
The elf isn’t suitable as a toy for children. He has a lever mechanism with which he cracks nuts. But he’s more for collectors.
The little elf is a 2025 novelty, fresh on the market. He joins a tradition dating back to 1928, which Christian Ulbricht and his company have been carrying on.
He’s perfect for a windowsill, sideboard, or Christmas shelf. Despite his compact size, he makes a statement and is an eye-catcher.
He’s practically a holiday helper, proud of his work – his hobbyhorse in hand. Without elves, it’s said, Santa would have no toys at all, and he looks very proud.
One could say: The elf is witty, lovingly crafted, and at the same time high-quality. It combines a folkloric shape with a charming wink, bringing fun to the Advent season while remaining elegant.
And if you’re looking for a small but exquisite nutcracker—with green clothes, a red hat, a hobby horse, and a wink—then Christian Ulbricht’s Christmas elf is just the thing. It’s meticulously detailed, handmade, and a true Christmas classic. And above all, a witty little elf.
