Winter 2025: Embrace the Cozy Magic of an Atlantic Winter

We wanted our Winter 2025 Atlantic Canada Box to feel like a warm hug on a cold day — the kind that smells like freshly baked cookies, steamy chowder on the stove, and coffee brewing while snow falls quietly outside.

Filled with comforting scents, rich holiday flavours, and thoughtfully crafted treasures from across Atlantic Canada, each item was carefully chosen to capture the heart of a Maritime winter. From the festive aroma of peppermint and candy cane to indulgent rum cake, cozy socks, and soul-warming chowder, every piece brings a little coastal holiday magic into your home.

Winter in Atlantic Canada is a season of slowing down — of gathering close, sharing stories, and finding comfort in simple pleasures. Whether you’re hosting loved ones, wrapping gifts by the fire, or enjoying a quiet moment to yourself, this box is meant to help you savour the warmth that defines the season here on the East Coast.

Home isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. And we’re so excited to share that feeling with you, one box at a time.

Here’s what we gathered in our Winter 2025 Atlantic Canada Box:

Spiced Rum Cake

Lunenburg Rum Cakes
Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

A holiday indulgence with a splash of East Coast spirit! This rich, festive cake is baked from scratch in small batches with warming notes of ginger, cinnamon, and allspice — then drenched in a decadent rum syrup made with Ironworks Bluenose Rum and finished with toasted pecans. Moist, aromatic, and made to be shared, it’s the perfect centrepiece for cozy nights by the tree or festive gatherings with friends.

Packaged in a cotton bag with a story insert about rum running in historic Lunenburg — because every great holiday dessert deserves a tale.

Lunenburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its beautifully preserved 18th-century architecture and iconic waterfront. It’s also home to the famous Bluenose schooner, launched here in 1921 and proudly featured on the Canadian dime — a true symbol of Canada’s maritime heritage.

Peppermint Soap

Graceful Soaps
Halifax, Nova Scotia

Nothing says holiday cheer quite like peppermint! This crisp, refreshing soap delivers a cool, invigorating lather that feels festive with every wash. Handmade in small batches using the cold-process method, it’s paraben-free, phthalate-free, and 100% vegan — a little everyday luxury for winter self-care.

Halifax is home to one of the world’s largest natural harbours — so deep and sheltered it rarely freezes. The city also boasts the oldest continuously operating saltwater ferry service in North America, running between Halifax and Dartmouth since 1752.

Mrs. Claus Coffee

PEI Coffee Merchant
North Milton, Prince Edward Island

Bold, smoky, and oh-so-smooth — this medium-roasted blend is packed with festive cheer. Crafted to fuel Santa through the longest night of the year, Mrs. Claus Coffee is perfect for early winter mornings, holiday prep marathons, or slow sipping by the glow of the tree.

North Milton is surrounded by PEI’s rolling farmland, famous for its rich red soil and strong agricultural roots. Ocean breezes and scenic countryside give the area its storybook Island charm.

Cinnamon Sugar Cookie Mix

Java Jack’s Gourmet Fine Foods
Conception Bay South, Newfoundland & Labrador

Let the scent of cinnamon fill your home this holiday season! This decadent cookie mix is quick, easy, and irresistibly delicious — perfect for busy baking days or spontaneous sweet cravings.
Yields: 12 perfectly sized cookies (just right for little hands… or sneaky snackers).

Conception Bay South is one of the sunniest and warmest spots on the island, known for boating, beaches, and the fossil-rich Manuels River — where discoveries over 500 million years old reveal Newfoundland’s prehistoric past.

Milk Chocolate COW Chips

Anne of Green Gables Chocolates
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Sweet, salty, and totally addictive. These holiday-ready treats combine Canadian-made potato chips with a thick coating of premium milk chocolate for a snack that’s as unexpected as it is irresistible. Naughty or nice — everyone deserves this one.
