HERSHEY'S Holiday Chocolate House

The annual sweetest house in town is decorated entirely with HERSHEY'S chocolate and candy and supports the Children's Miracle Network. In 2024, we'll build a replica of a local Hershey, PA community building. See how many candies it takes to create a holiday firehouse!

The Sweet Facts of the 2023 House:

  • The 15th annual house was our biggest to date, with a 19' x 15' frame designed and constucted by Milton Hershey School architecture and carpentry classes
  • It came to life over a 15-day decoration period, covered in more than 50,000 pieces of HERSHEY'S Chocolate and candy (15 different types), plus two working clocks!
  • 121 Hershey Company employees carefully placed the sweet bricks and mortar, totaling 695 working hours
  • For every hour that its employees volunteer, HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE WORLD makes a donation to Children's Miracle Network (CMN). In 2023, $8,340 was given to save and improve the lives of hospitalized children
