Buying Special Sweets for Christmas

Question
What is the ruling on buying special sweets for Christmas 'in the shape of Santa Claus', knowing that their ingredients are halal?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: If it is a symbol for non-Muslims and signifies that, it is not permissible. If it is customary in their country and has no religious significance, then it is permissible. And God knows best.
