Add a touch of nostalgic Christmas cheer to your kitchen with this vintage-style ceramic Santa Claus cookie jar by Sleigh Bell Bistro. Crafted with a glossy finish, Santa features his classic red hat, white beard, and rosy cheeks — ready to spread holiday joy and keep your cookies fresh all season long.
The removable lid, shaped as the top of Santa’s head and hat, makes it both a functional cookie jar and a festive holiday decoration. Whether displayed on your counter or filled with homemade treats, this charming piece brings warmth and whimsy to any Christmas kitchen.
Although he’s known as a “Winking Santa,” this particular version isn’t actually winking — the name has simply become shorthand for the mid-century Santa style that was popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Over time, collectors have used the term to describe this cheerful, round-faced Santa look, whether or not his eye is closed.
