December is synonymous with food, family and stuffing yourself. That’s why we love when Orlando restaurants and shops serve up speciality food just for the season. The overindulgent holiday meals only last for so long, drink and eat up with these seasonal offerings!

- Khajoor Tart:Date tartlet served with a smooth tamarind sauce, date and buttermilk ice cream with a walnut spice crumble.
- The Sake Sangria: Available in red or white, but go for the red for that extra festive touch. Ingredients include merlot, raspberry schnapps, orange juice, blackberry brandy and Sake! PS: December 20 is National Sangria Day, just in case you need an excuse to drink up.
- Christmas Cake Balls: Colorful and festive, why not indulge in a few of these over the weekend?
- Red Chef Made Sangria: An in-house secret recipe, but we did find out they use Cabernet Sauvignon as the base with flavors of pineapple, orange and cherry. Hands down my favorite sangria, and possibly drink, in Orlando! A must try next time you’re craving Mexican fare.
- Christmas Tree Cupcakes: Any sugary bite this bakery creates is fabulous. How adorable are these tree cupcakes? Sure to be pretty and delicious.
- Chocolate Popcorn Stuffed Snowman: I’ll let the photo do the talking on this one. Tasty, right?
