Click above for The legend of the Candy Cane.
Here is a popular poem about the Christmas candy cane and how it can remind us of the Gospel. I have seen this used alongside the legend of the candy cane, but I think it’s better to leave the legend part out. Just use it as an object lesson or children’s sermon for the children. Say, “Let me teach you a poem about the candy cane that will help us to remember Jesus this Christmas season.”
We have prepared a handout of this poem that you can download and print. Each page is divided into four parts and includes the poem alongside a simple graphic of a candy cane. Click here to download the Candy Cane Poem.
Christmas Candy Cane Poem about Jesus
Look at the Candy Cane
What do you see?
Stripes that are red
Like the blood shed for me
White is for my Savior
Who’s sinless and pure!
“J” is for Jesus My Lord, that’s for sure!
Turn it around
And a staff you will see
Jesus my shepherd
Was born for Me!

Thank you so much! This was great for the preschool children at my church to recite during a Christmas program.
Thank you for making this available. We have just moved in to the home where I grew up (San Antonio, Tx.), and we’ll be reaching out to our neighbors this Christmas Season and gently remind them of the true meaning of Christmas. In Christ always!
