# Zombified Holiday Chocolates The Undead Chocolate Santa Claus Makes for a Scary Little Christmas By Alyson Wyers | Published 2013-11-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-santa-claus References: [thatsnerdalicious](http://www.thatsnerdalicious.com/sugar-rush/chocolate-zombie-santa-will-eat-everyone-on-the-naughty-list/) & [thinkgeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/15aa/?cpg=cj&ref=&CJURL=&CJID=2617611) These zombified chocolate Santa Claus foil wrappers add an undead touch to a holiday dedicated to celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. From ThinkGeek, the Chocolate Zombie Santa is made from [solid dark chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-dark-chocolate-orange), but does not look particularly zombie-like once unwrapped. These monstrous treats make a great stocking stuffer or small gift for those who are really into the [zombie apocalypse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zotter-chocolates-brains-eggs). They are sure to bring a little extra green to a holiday known for its red and green color scheme. One could also purchase multiple [chocolate Santa Claus zombies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kit-kat-santas) and create a sweet toothed-army. Rather than worrying about a zombie eating your brains, turn things on its head this holiday season and bite a chocolate zombie's head off. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Zombie-themed Gifts:** Creating zombie-themed gifts for holidays and other special occasions presents an opportunity for companies to capitalize on the popularity of post-apocalyptic media. - **Holiday Fun with a Twist:** Offering fun and unique holiday treats like zombified chocolate Santa Clauses presents an opportunity for companies to differentiate themselves from traditional holiday offerings. - **Dark Humor Products:** Creating irreverent and humorous products like zombified chocolate Santa Clauses presents an opportunity for companies to target audiences with a dark sense of humor. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Candy & Chocolate Manufacturing:** Candy and chocolate manufacturers can capitalize on the popularity of unique and fun holiday treats like zombified chocolate Santa Clauses. - **Gift & Novelty Stores:** Gift and novelty stores can stock irreverent and humorous products like zombified chocolate Santa Clauses to attract customers with a dark sense of humor. - **Post-apocalyptic Media:** Companies in the post-apocalyptic media industry can collaborate with candy and chocolate manufacturers to create branded zombie-themed treats for holidays and special occasions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Coal-Shaped Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itsugar-merry-frickn-christmas-box.md) - [Santa-Themed Chocolate Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-dj-santa.md) - [Indulgent Festive Snack Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnaw-chocolates.md) - [Holiday-Themed Truffle Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-truffle-collection.md) - [Festive Candy Cane Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galerie-au-chocolat-1.md) - [Festive Holiday Chocolate Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-chocolate-gift.md) - [Tree-Shaped Chocolate Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treeshaped-chocolate-bites.md) - [Fashionable Zombie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zombaes-critter-chaos.md) - [Branded Cafe Chocolate Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-chocolate-santa.md)
