Lebkuchens of the Year - Schmidt’s Signature Seasonal Lebkuchen

Each year, the master bakers at Lebkuchen Schmidt unveil a brand-new “Lebkuchen of the Year” — a special seasonal recipe that reimagines their classic Elisen Lebkuchen with unique flavours and festive inspiration from around the world.

Over the years, these limited-edition creations have become customer favourites, blending traditional Nuremberg craftsmanship with unexpected combinations like Sicilian orange, 🍎baked apple, Jamaican rum, 🫐 wild blueberry marzipan, and now the 2026 Canadian-inspired Maple Walnut Elisen with maple syrup.

Some recipes appear for just a single season, while others become beloved returning classics. Try them individually or experience several years of Schmidt creativity with the special “Collection of Lebkuchens of the Year” sampler pack, beautifully presented in Schmidt’s iconic red and white packaging.
