The Goods from Beaucoup Bakery

Vancouver, BC | Beaucoup Bakery is ready to take guests on a delicious winter wonderland adventure this year with the unveiling of its 2023 holiday collection, Nutcracker Sweets. Inspired by the whimsical tales from the Land of the Sweets, pastry chef Betty Hung and her talented team have created two new Bûche de Noël flavours, a 12-piece Nutcracker bonbon set, and a cookie box fit for Santa Claus. And brand new for this year, charcuterie croissants for holiday brunches and lunches at its St. Regis location.

Starting November 24, 2023, guests can pre-order the Nutcracker Sweets collection online for pick-up at Beaucoup Bakery’s Fir Street location. Select treats (excluding yule logs) will be available at both cafes (Fir Street and St. Regis) for walk-ins.

“The Nutcracker is so iconic during the holiday season – we really wanted to capture the magic, wonder, and sweetness of the timeless classic with our new Nutcracker Sweets collection,” says Betty, who co-owns Beaucoup Bakery alongside her brother, Jacky Hung. “There’s definitely some whimsy in our cookie box this year, featuring green and red themed offerings, as well as delectable flavours with our popular bonbons. We can’t wait for our guests to enjoy very soon!”
