5 Holiday Recipes with Unique Festive Flavors

Every holiday season, we crave that unmistakable “holiday” flavor. To us, this includes mint, cinnamon, rosemary, pumpkin, blood orange, and more.

These 5 holiday recipes are absolutely delicious and unmistakably festive. From sides of veggies, to dessert, to cocktails, here are 5 recipes you’ll use all season long.

Pepper and Pumpkin Soup

This Pepper and Pumpkin Soup is a delicious holiday appetizer. Pumpkin and pepper make an iconic cold-weather flavor. Then, oregano, thyme, and sage create full flavor complexity in this simple to make soup.

Brussels Sprouts with Dried Cranberries and Candied Jalapeños

Brussels Sprouts are the trendy vegetable right now, and for good reason. Take this veggie to the next step with dried cranberries, a sweet balsamic glaze, and candied jalapeños in this magnificent recipe. It’s a delicious, healthy side dish to any meal, bringing the sweet and heat to the table.

Vegan Buddha Bowl with Roasted Chickpeas, Blood Orange, and Avocado

Healthy eating is epitomized by this Vegan Buddha Bowl. No flavor is sacrificed. Delicious and filling, this bowl includes roasted chickpeas, blood orange, avocado, nuts, and leafy greens to top it off. Plus, a deliciously nutty tahini flavor to top it off.

Eggnog Cheesecake with Fresh Mint

Cheesecake is one of our favorite holiday desserts, and it’s made all the better with freshly harvested mint. This mouth-watering recipe uses nutmeg, cinnamon, and eggnog to create a warm favor, which fresh mint contrasts with beautifully.

Hot Sangria with Apples and Rosemary

This Warm Sangria Cocktail screams holiday flavors. With apples, cinnamon, cider, and rosemary, this hot sangria cocktail is a warmly flavored concoction perfect for entertaining chilly nights. It’s a delicious and unique taste on the sweet classic sangria and a beautiful way to enjoy wine.

We hope that you enjoy these Holiday Recipes as much as we have. The holiday season is our favorite time of year and is a great time to cook new recipes and spend time with those you love.
