With Christmas just around the corner, have you decided where to spend this festive season with your lover, friends, or family?

PAUL Bakery has launched "French-imported Christmas limited-edition desserts" starting December 12, featuring nine exclusive items, including Europe’s traditionally iconic "St. Nicholas Bread" and "King’s Cake". The "Glorious Christmas Duo Set" also offers truffle and porcini cream risotto, North African-style apricot and nut honey-glazed pork trotter, along with an added limited "Sweet Paris Christmas Gift Bag". With four special promotional combinations featuring Christmas-exclusive items, it allows consumers to exchange gifts or gather with family while enjoying an authentic French Christmas flavor.

The Eastone Mountain Resort Hotel is also offering attractive Christmas dinner packages. In addition to freshly carved turkey, the hot buffet includes seven delicious dishes such as veal tenderloin with mushroom red wine sauce, spiced lamb chops with honey mustard sauce, American-style grilled pork ribs, fennel fish with lemon cream sauce, and a seafood platter of prawns and scallops. There are also various choices for cold dishes and desserts. From December 18 to 25, the original price of NT$990 plus 10% service charge for the Christmas dinner is now promoted with “Buy 4, Get 1 Free”, which is quite a bargain.
