The temperatures are dropping and the sun is setting earlier and earlier each day. We all know this means that winter is here. Although winter can be a long and bleak season, there is one thing we all look forward to every winter — the holidays!

There is a special feeling that fills cities and towns around this time of year. It may be the faint sound of holiday music playing while you run errands or maybe it’s the glimmer from the lights that can be seen canvassing people’s homes. Whatever it is, the holiday season is a magical time of year.

However, everyone’s holidays may be looking a little different this year. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected nearly every facet of our lives and the holiday season will be no exception. Although public health guidelines are in place for a good reason and need to be followed, that does not mean we are immune to the disappointment that comes with not being able to see our family and friends.

Even though we cannot gather in large groups, it’s still important to make the most of this time of year and celebrate as best as we can. We may be biased, but nothing says ‘celebration’ like a box of delicious hand-crafted macarons. This holiday season, Vanilla Bean Lane has put together holiday themed macaron boxes for you to enjoy. Whether you plan to eat them by yourself or with a few loved ones, they’re sure to please.

If you would like to order a box, you can visit our website and submit an order form. You have the option to select up to two flavours in your holiday box. Here are the flavours you can choose from:

Cranberry Vanilla Bean (White)

We don’t know about you, but we think cranberry flavoured things are basically synonymous with the holiday season. The filling of this macaron is a mix of decadent vanilla bean buttercream and a tart cranberry jam. This flavour is super festive and fitting for any holiday celebration.

Pistachio (Green)

There is a certain je ne sais quoi about these pistachio macarons. They’re made with freshly chopped pistachios and filled with a rich pistachio buttercream. They’re delightfully nutty, a little fancy and perfectly French.

Earl Grey (Red)

Our earl grey macarons are a fan favourite. They are infused using loose earl grey tea leaves and assembled with a silky earl grey Buttercream. Think floral and sweet, yet smooth and delicious. 

Dark Chocolate Sea Salt (Blue)

If you’re a chocolate fan, you won’t want to miss this one. Our Ghiradelli dark chocolate sea salt macarons are filled with a satisfying and perfectly creamy chocolate filling with hints of sea salt. A little salty and a little sweet — a match made in heaven.

As you can see, no matter what flavours you choose you are in for a treat. You may even want two boxes so you can try them all — we won’t judge 😉
