What Are Salonky?

Salonky, also written salónky, are individually wrapped Christmas sweets associated with Czech and Slovak festive celebrations. Hung among the branches of the Christmas tree, their colourful wrappers make them decorations to admire and treats to enjoy.

Fillings range from soft fondant and coconut to fruit jelly, almond marzipan and chocolate creams. Whether you remember choosing favourites from the family tree or are discovering the tradition for the first time, Salonky bring a nostalgic touch to Christmas.

Choosing Salonky for Your Vánoční Kolekce

For Czech families, tree sweets are closely connected with the tradition of vánoční kolekce, or Christmas chocolate collections. The broader category of čokoládové kolekce can include wrapped sweets, chocolate figures and other festive shapes arranged together for decorating and sharing.

Our collection focuses on filled, individually wrapped chocolates. Choose a favourite flavour for the tree, or combine several varieties to create your own festive selection for Christmas Eve.

Fruit Jelly Chocolates – Želé Salónky

If you enjoy želé salónky, our jelly-filled Christmas chocolates offer a familiar alternative: soft, fruity jelly beneath a dark chocolate shell. The contrast between the fruit centre and chocolate coating makes them particularly satisfying alongside coffee or as a little treat from the tree.

Almond Marzipan Chocolates

For almond lovers, Szamos marzipan chocolates combine rich almond marzipan with dark chocolate and fruit fillings. Choose them for a festive sweet bowl, an edible tree decoration or a Christmas present for someone who particularly enjoys marzipan.

Assorted Pralines and Coconut Favourites

If you usually choose kokosové coconut sweets or enjoy exploring different fillings, look at the Stühmer assorted praline selection. Its 15 flavours include coconut alongside marzipan, pistachio, orange, coffee and other chocolate specialities.

An assorted box is an easy way to cater for different tastes, giving everyone a chance to discover a favourite before the chocolates reach the Christmas tree.

Hungarian-Made Sweets for a Shared Christmas Tradition

Our salonky selection features Hungarian-made Christmas chocolates in the familiar wrapped format enjoyed across neighbouring Central European countries. In Hungary, these sweets are called szaloncukor.

The collection includes specialities from Hungarian confectioners such as Stühmer and Szamos. Explore our wider szaloncukor collection for more traditional favourites and contemporary flavours.

How to Hang Salonky on Your Christmas Tree

Leave each chocolate inside its original wrapper. Tie a small loop of fine thread or narrow ribbon around the twisted wrapper neck, just above the sweet, then slip the loop over a sturdy branch.

• Space the sweets between baubles so their colourful wrappers remain visible.
• Choose branches away from radiators, fires and other sources of heat.
• Keep a few chocolates in a serving bowl for guests, so the tree stays decorated longer.

Salonky also make edible place-setting gifts, festive table decorations and little extras tucked into Christmas parcels.

Christmas Eve with Slovak Makovník and Czech Makový Závin

For many Czech and Slovak families, the main festive gathering takes place on Christmas Eve: Štědrý den in Czech and Štedrý deň in Slovak. A decorated tree, something sweet to share and familiar flavours help make the evening feel like Christmas, wherever you are celebrating.

Serve your salonky alongside Slovak Makovník, a golden pastry roll with a generous poppy seed filling, dried plum and gentle spice. Slice it for a festive coffee table or offer it when friends and family visit.

For a Czech-style spread, choose Makový Závin, with its rich poppy seed centre and distinctive spiral slices. Both rolls are baked in Hungary, reflecting Central Europe's shared pastry traditions.

Christmas Gifts for Czech and Slovak Friends

A selection of salonky makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for Czech or Slovak friends, relatives, colleagues and hosts who remember these sweets from childhood. Pair a chocolate selection with a poppy seed roll for a nostalgic food parcel, or add the wrapped sweets to a stocking or Christmas hamper.
