A Candy cane is a cane-shaped stick candy often associated with Christmastide, as well as Saint Nicholas Day. It is traditionally white with red stripes and flavored with peppermint, but may also be a variety of other flavors and colors.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
In 2006, Macy's introduced a new Green Candy Cane balloon into the Parade, which would be paired with the Red Candy Cane balloon. It made appearances until being retired after the 2009 parade, making only four appearances.
