It's actually pretty close, funnily enough, although maybe a bit more eastward.
The climate of the Candy Kingdom will be generally cold and somewhat dry (although not too dry to support vegetation). It has a mostly continental climate, fittingly given its location near the centre of the holo continent. It can be divided into three major climate zones, their borders marked by the mountain ranges in central Candy Kingdom:
>Humid Continental (Dfa/Dfb)
Also known as Laurentian climate, humid (relative to inland desert) continental climate is known for its warm summer and cold winter. Due to its distance from moderating bodies of water, it has a wide temperature range, giving it a classical four-season environment.
In the distant past, it might be covered in mixed woodland and grassland, but its optimal climate and soil condition (also known as chernozem or mollisol) means human activities have likely converted the majority of it into vast grassland and, in particular, rich farmland.
The most famous examples of this climate IRL is the Eurasian Steppe, the Great Plains, and the Prairies - with the latter two known as the breadbasket of their respective country. Common crops include wheat, maize (if in the right ecozone), barley, oats, and millet. Other crops of interest include beets (where sugar can be extracted), flax, apple, and plums. In the wild, the vast grassland is also suitable for grazing and animal husbandry.
The division between hot-summer (Dfa) and warm-summer (Dfb) humid continental is determined by whether its warmest month has an average temperature above 22°C/72°F. The line would likely overlap with the yellow region and the pale green region in the middle due to an increase of both latitude and altitude.
