The red represents Jesus blood that was shed and the white represents that we are now pure because Jesus died for us. The white can also represent the pureness of the Virgin Mary. Upside down the candy can also looks like a J which stands for Jesus
Christmas. Red and White are the unofficial colors of Christmas. Notice that santa wears red and white as well. Aside from just trying to be relevant to Christmas they don't represent much anything else.
The red on the candy cane symbolizes Jesus's blood.

Christmas
One of the reasons thought to be was: A long while ago in churches, when kids cried, the priest would give them a white cane made of candy (Which represents a Sheppard's cane). Then a little bit later, (It might have been when christ rose or died) They added the red stripes to represent the blood of christ.Thats just a tale I have heard there are a couple of others.
The candy cane is shaped like a "J" for Jesus and the staff of the "Good Shepard". The red-and-white stripes represent Christ's blood and purity. The three red stripes symbolizes the Holy Trinity. The hardness of the candy represent the Church's foundation on a solid rock. The peppermint flavor represents the use of hyssop, an herb referred to in the OldTestament. A half heart and when two are positioned together, you get the shape of the heart; representing, the heart and soul of love, while God is love. The sweetness represents the sweetness of love. Green candy canes?Lovely thoughts.
