small-town charm

Step into the heart of Circleville this holiday season and experience the magic of Wittich’s Candy Shop—a family tradition steeped in sweetness and nostalgia. As Janet Wittich, owner, describes, “It’s just like being in a Hallmark movie! We might not wear high heels, but the charm and warmth are the same.”

From their hand-dipped chocolates to their one-of-a-kind soda fountain, every visit to Wittich’s feels like a step back in time. For over a century, this family-owned gem has been making holidays brighter, one sweet treat at a time. 

 Sweet Treats and Thoughtful Gifts

This Christmas, Wittich’s is your go-to for gifts that delight every taste. Popular holiday favorites include:

• Handmade Candy Canes: Crafted with care and bursting with holiday flavor.
• Mint Frappes: A creamy, minty treat that’s perfect for the season.
• Stocking Stuffers: From chocolate suckers to assorted half-pound boxes, there’s something for everyone.
• Non-Candy Options: Local honey, nostalgic toys, and even supplies to make your own candy creations at home!

  

“We ship nationwide,” says Doria Welch, a sixth-generation member of the Wittich family and employee. “It’s a great way to share the sweetness of Wittich’s with loved ones, no matter where they are.”

Holiday Hours & Specials

Wittich’s is spreading holiday cheer with extended hours the week before Christmas and special closures to allow their hardworking team to enjoy time with family. For a festive twist, keep an eye out for their seasonal sundaes made with peppermint stick ice cream, hot fudge, and a sprinkle of holiday magic!

The Gift of Local Love

Shopping at Wittich’s is about more than just candy—it’s about community. “We love being part of downtown Circleville and collaborating with other local businesses like Joyhouse Coffee. It’s amazing to see how shopping local keeps our community thriving,” says Doria.

Janet adds, “Even after all these years, we still love seeing the joy on people’s faces. We’re here every day during December, and though it’s busy, it’s so rewarding to know we’re part of people’s holiday traditions.”

Memories Made Sweeter

One of Janet’s favorite memories of the season is seeing the kindness of customers. “We’ve witnessed some incredible acts of generosity over the holidays, like customers paying for others’ orders. It’s moments like these that make the season so special.”

Doria agrees: “It’s not just about candy—it’s about connection. Whether it’s someone visiting for the first time or a regular we see every week, we truly appreciate everyone who walks through our doors.”
