Fun Winter Foods You’ll Love
Take advantage of the chilly weather to enjoy these guest-pleasing comfort foods and hearty setups.
Winter weddings reap the benefits of serving crowd-pleasing comfort foods and rich sweets. Warm cheese appetizers, soup shooters and creative food bars (an all-spud bar and poutine station top our list of favorites) provide guests with hearty snacks in bite-size servings. After all those savory foods, make sure your guests satisfy their sweet tooth with go-to winter treats like a hot cocoa bar (with mint stirrers and doughnut holes!) or individual chocolate lava cakes. Here are some mouthwatering options to help you create your winter wedding menu.

In place of, or in addition to, the wedding cake, offer warmed individual chocolate lava cakes!
Set up a to-go poutine bar at the end of the reception to satisfy guests’ late-night cravings. This Canadian tradition starts with a base of french fries and is topped with gravy and cheese curds.
