Now we’ve got a shortage of candy canes to deal with, just in time for the holidays.

Economy Candy, a New York City store that specializes in candy canes, has run out of stock for the first time since it opened its doors in 1937, according to The New York Post.

In a classic example of trickle-through economics, this is also affecting the production of gingerbread houses and the nation’s supply of Christmas tree ornaments.

A shortfall in peppermint production is blamed.
