Learn how to create Christmas chocolates using custom vacuum formed moulds and 3D printed designs. Make festive treats that look like edible snow globes with professional-quality packaging.
In a previous guide, we explored how to create custom chocolate moulds and highlighted how professional chocolatiers like Paul Wagemaker use vacuum forming to bring precision and creativity to their craft.
With the holiday season fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to revisit those techniques and offer a little festive inspiration for anyone wanting to make their own Christmas chocolates at home.
In the video below, we show the complete process: from designing and 3D printing the moulds to creating custom packaging that enhances the final presentation. The chocolate shapes themselves are inspired by classic Christmas ornaments, giving them a charming seasonal look.
Once the chocolates are placed into their custom vacuum-formed packaging, they resemble miniature snow globes with a tasty treat inside. An ideal gift, stocking filler, or centrepiece for your holiday table.
Whether you’re a chocolatier, a maker, or a hobbyist looking to try something new, vacuum forming offers an easy and reliable way to produce unique festive treats with a professional finish.
