In Poland, all year, they are gaining popularity, becoming an integral part of the 11th November celebration, a celebration commemorating Poland's regaining independence. Although croissants are available throughout the year in pastry shops and cafes, their real apogee of consumption falls on November.

The prices of Świętamarcinski croissants are varied – the lowest prices can be found in the markets, although these products are frequently smaller and made of inferior quality ingredients. Much higher prices apply in renowned bakeries and cafes. In many places, however, they are offered under another names specified as “Marcinian horns” or “Rogals with white poppy”. This is due to the fact that only 91 confectioneries in Poznań have the appropriate certificate to bake conventional Świętmarciński croissants. The approval to prepare and sale croissants according to the conventional recipe is given by the Poznań Chapter of conventional Rogal Świętomarciński.
The past of baking croissants with white poppy for St. Martin's Day dates back to 1891, erstwhile the parish priest of 1 of the Poznań parishes encouraged residents to share the good on the day of the patron saint of the city. Rich residents, including pastry cook Joseph Malcer, decided to bake croissants with sweet stuffing and give them to poorer residents. This noble tradition of eating croissants with white poppy has lasted for over a 100 years.

The price of croissants increased importantly mainly due to increases in the prices of natural materials utilized for their production. conventional celebratory croissants are celebrated for their unique dough and rich filling, which includes white poppy, sugar, crumbs, egg mass, fat, raisins, nuts, fruits in syrup or candied, and almond flavour.
