Seafood lovers will delight at the selection including Sherried Crab Bisque, Poached-Salmon Seafood, Snow Crab Clusters and Peel & Eat Shrimp. An assortment of desserts will please every sweet tooth. Guests can sample traditional treats such as Leckerli gingerbread, Buch De Noel, Nesselrode Pudding, Noel Linzer Cookiettes, Austrian Stollen Loaves, Peppermint Ice Cream and classic Eggnog.
