1. Handmade Candy Cane
These traditional-looking candy canes are even more special than they appear. Unlike other candy canes made with high-fructose corn syrup, these treats are made with peppermint oil, tapioca syrup and red radish (to get their vibrant color). Plus, they have a surprising cocoa creme-filling.

2. Boozy Macarons
One of the new seasonal items is a boozy-flavored sweet. Each of the Parisian-style macarons is flavored with rum (the tan macarons), French XO brandy (the purple macarons) and Cointreau (the orange macarons). These grown-up desserts have their respective spirit stirred in the batter which makes for a flavorful, cocktail-inspired treat.

3. Mini Chocolate Mousse Desserts
Chocolate lovers should run to the freezer section. This new product combines a shortbread base with chocolate mousse, dark chocolate ganache and a sprinkle topping. To make them, all you need to do is defrost in the fridge for a few hours before serving for an easy and impressive dessert.

4. Mini Hold the Cone! Peppermint-Flavored Ice Cream Cones
The vanilla mini ice cream cones are fan favorites, so the returning minty version is an easy choice. In this seasonal twist, the chocolate-lined chocolate cones are filled with pink-tinted peppermint ice cream. Best of all, the lining makes it impossible for ice cream to leak out from the bottom.
