Polka pigs are named after the Polka dance that was popular at the time in the 1860s. At that time, pig was a general term for sweet, which must have contributed to the name. A polka pig is rarely shaped like a pig, but the pole can often have a hook at one end to make it easier to hang it on a Christmas tree and is then called a polka stick .
