Create a Memorable Christmas Experience

Getting Christmas right is not just about serving delicious desserts—it’s about creating a magical and memorable experience for your customers. The festive season is a time of indulgence, joy, and togetherness, and every element of your offerings should reflect this spirit. At Mademoiselle Desserts, we believe in crafting desserts that not only satisfy cravings but also elevate the holiday celebration.

From comfort and familiarity to exciting new flavors, here’s how you can create the perfect Christmas experience, supported by insights from our recent survey.

Top 5 Festive Dessert Preferences

To understand what customers look for during the festive season, we conducted a survey with 250 respondents. Here are the top five purchasing behaviors when it comes to desserts:

1. Comfort and Familiarity

During Christmas, many customers seek desserts that evoke fond memories of home and tradition. Think warm, spiced puddings, chocolate brownies, or classic apple crumble. Offering these nostalgic treats ensures your menu resonates with diners looking for that comforting festive feel.

2. Something New and Different

While tradition is essential, many customers also crave a sense of adventure. Introducing unique and unexpected flavors like our Speculoos Beignets or Hazelnut & Cocoa Brownies can spark curiosity and excitement. A balance between tradition and innovation is key to appealing to a diverse audience.

3. Indulgence

Christmas is the time to go all out! Desserts that are rich, luxurious, and visually stunning often take center stage. Think decadent chocolate cakes, gooey salted caramel fillings, and generously frosted treats. Our Mini Beignets and premium brownies are perfect for those moments of indulgence.

4. Reflective of Christmas

Nothing says Christmas like desserts infused with seasonal flavors. From spiced apple and cranberry to peppermint and gingerbread, these flavors create a sense of festivity. Adding visual touches like snowflake decorations or edible gold leaf can make your desserts feel even more special.

5. Healthier Choices

Not all customers want to indulge, with some looking for lighter options during the festive season. Offering gluten-free, reduced-sugar, or plant-based alternatives ensures everyone can join the celebration. Our catering packs include options to cater to these preferences, allowing you to meet every dietary need.

Creating a Magical Experience

1. Set the Scene

Your desserts are only part of the story. The setting, from table decorations to lighting, should evoke the warmth and magic of Christmas. Consider serving desserts on festive platters or incorporating seasonal garnishes like holly and cranberries.

2. Engage the Senses

The perfect Christmas dessert isn’t just about taste—it’s about the entire sensory experience. The aroma of spices, the soft glow of candlelight, and the visual appeal of beautifully plated desserts all contribute to creating memorable moments.

3. Cater to Every Customer

Inclusivity is key during the festive season. Ensure your menu has options for different dietary preferences, from indulgent to plant-based. This approach ensures that no one is left out of the celebration.

Getting Christmas right means going beyond the dessert plate to create an experience that delights your customers and leaves lasting memories. By understanding their preferences and offering a variety of options, you can ensure your festive menu stands out this holiday season.
