Best Chocolate Gifts to Ship After Christmas (Through New Year’s 2026)

Christmas may be over, but gifting season isn’t.
If you missed someone on your list, need a thoughtful thank-you, or want to show up with something special between Christmas and New Year’s, chocolate is still the easiest way to get it right—and the good news is, we’re still shipping.
While many brands pause fulfillment after December 25th, we continue making and shipping fresh chocolate so you can send something meaningful when it still matters.

Why Chocolate Is the Perfect Post-Christmas Gift

The days between Christmas and New Year’s are full of visits, dinners, and last-minute moments of gratitude. Hosts, coworkers, neighbors, teachers, and family members all deserve a thank-you—but no one wants another generic gift card.
Chocolate works because it feels intentional without being overdone. It’s celebratory, easy to share, and universally appreciated, especially when it’s beautifully packaged and made with care.

The Best Chocolate Gifts to Ship Right Now

If you’re sending a gift after Christmas, these are the options that consistently impress and arrive ready to enjoy.
Champagne Truffles (Milk & Dark Chocolate)
Elegant and festive, champagne truffles are a natural fit for the New Year. The smooth ganache and subtle sparkle make them feel celebratory without being seasonal, which is exactly what you want for end-of-year gifting.
Sea Salt Caramel Gift Boxes
A customer favorite for good reason. Available in milk, dark, or mixed chocolate, these boxes strike the perfect balance of sweet and salty and work for just about anyone—from clients to family members.
Dark Chocolate Nonpareils
Classic, simple, and nostalgic. Dark chocolate nonpareils are ideal for recipients who appreciate traditional flavors and a less-sweet bite. They also ship beautifully, making them a reliable post-holiday choice.
Chocolate-Covered Pretzels (Milk, Dark, or Mixed)
Crunchy, chocolatey, and easy to share, chocolate-covered pretzels are one of the most versatile gifts you can send. They’re perfect for hosts, offices, or anyone who prefers something snackable over boxed candies.
4-Piece Chocolate Gift Boxes
When you want something small but thoughtful, a 4-piece box hits the mark. These are especially popular for thank-you gifts, coworkers, and “thinking of you” moments that still deserve real chocolate.

Great for Thank-Yous, Hosts, and Last-Minute Gifting

Post-Christmas gifting is less about tradition and more about appreciation. A well-chosen box of chocolate says thank you, happy New Year, and I was thinking of you—all at once.
Whether you’re sending something across the country or bringing a gift to a New Year’s gathering, chocolate keeps things simple and sincere.
