As temperatures drop, the Holiday Market at Snowport in Boston’s Seaport District transforms into a lively winter wonderland not just for shopping, but also for delectable seasonal food and drinks! Whether you’re looking for something savory to warm you up or a sweet treat to satisfy your post-finals cravings, Snowport has you covered.
One standout is Baked Cheese Haus, an artisanal cheese company offering the unique Juusto “Baked Cheese,” a Scandinavian-inspired delicacy. When heated, this cheese caramelizes, creating a crispy, sweet exterior while remaining soft and buttery on the inside. The variety of delicious flavors includes Smoked Bacon, Cranberry Cinnamon, Garlic and Jalapeno.
An aesthetic treat popular on social media, decadent cake jars and macarons from Love&Flour can be found among the rows of vendors. If you’re looking for something plant-based, Clarke’s Cakes & Cookies offers vegan baked goods that don’t compromise flavor in exchange for a healthier, more ethical dessert. These treats are also perfect to take home as a holiday gift!
Another favorite is the Tuck’s hot chocolate by The Fat Cactus. Described as the “most instagrammable hot chocolate” by Boston hot chocolate connoisseurs, this drink is the ideal choice for those looking to toast the season. A Tuck’s truffle is added to the bottom of every cup so it’s extra chocolate-y — what else is there to say…
For market-goers over the age of 21, there are a handful of holiday-themed bars, each with their own signature cocktail & mocktail like Betty the Yeti-ni and Dizzy Eggnog Dizzy. Mulled wine, another popular option, is served infused with seasonal spices like cinnamon, cloves and orange, promising a warm and aromatic drink.
Boston’s Snowport is a celebration of the season through rich and diverse food and drink offerings, making it a must-visit before leaving for winter break. Make sure to check the market’s times before heading over, and be prepared to wait in line if it’s at capacity. Whether you’re visiting for a quick bite or looking to spend the afternoon with friends enjoying all the market has to offer, it’s a place for everyone to enjoy the holiday season!
