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 2025, we built Grandma Coco's Bake Shoppe. See how many candies it took to create the cozy cottage, and stop by for some treats yourself.
Take photos with Santa in front of the house, too. View schedule.
- The 17th annual house was built upon a 13' x 11' frame designed and constucted by 14 students in the Milton Hershey School Construction/Carpentry Career & Technical Education program
- It came to life over a 10-day decoration period, covered in more than 45,000 pieces of HERSHEY'S Chocolate and candy (15 different types)
- 122 Hershey Company employees carefully placed the sweet bricks and mortar, totaling 488 working hours
- For every hour that its employees volunteer, HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE WORLD makes a donation to Children's Miracle Network (CMN). $5,856 was given to save and improve the lives of hospitalized children
