The United States of America is having a birthday! On July 4, 2026, the date that marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the nation will celebrate its semicentennial. To honor the founding fathers and their vision of "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," we have created this unique patriotic nutcracker. Dressed in vibrant red, white and blue colors and wearing a gold trimmed black tricorn hat, this proud patriot beats his drum and waves his flag to begin the revelry! Handcrafted and hand painted, this beautiful 14" 250th Founding Nutcracker is sure to provide many years of pride and pleasure.
