At this time of year, the Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver (791 West Georgia Street) transforms into a Christmas wonderland, with the elves in the kitchen busily at work dreaming up new sweets and cocktails for enjoying during December.

Here are some dessert and drink items at YEW seafood + bar to put on your “to eat and drink” list this month:

YEW seafood + bar has made sure to bring back their ever popular Cog Nog, with Hennessy VS cognac, cream, whole egg, Tealeaves winter tea, grated nutmeg, and Malagasy Chocolate bitters. It’s incredibly rich in a lovely Christmas-y sort of way, and the moose mug it comes in makes it quintessentially Canadian.

Other popular festive drinks include the gluvine with red wine, apple juice, apricot and cherry brandy, lemon, orange, cloves, and spices; the Starry Night with sparkling wine, apple cider tea infused Calvados, pimento honey, Campari, cranberry juice; and the hot buttered rum, with Bacardi Black rum, buttered compound, Angostura bitters, pimento honey syrup, and ginger bread as a whimsical touch.

You can enjoy these cocktails in the lounge by the roaring fireplace until New Year’s Eve.

The Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver also makes some of the best stollen in town, made by former Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver chef Gerhard Weitzel. This is the real deal of the German cake, available until Christmas Day for $28 per loaf at YEW. Believe me, you’ll be hoarding slices of it (even if Christmas is supposed to be about sharing).

At the Christmas Eve Dinner (3 courses, $105 per person, from 5pm to 10pm), after feasting on items like Dungeness crab, with daikon and powdered autumn fruit spiced honey vinaigrette, and braised oxtail pappardelle, you can end with either the old fashioned Christmas pudding with winter berries flambéed with brandy sauce, or Santa’s Gift (passion fruit pearls, 33% Ivoire, Chocolate Amarenna cherries, and white peach sorbet).

The Christmas Day Brunch ($99 per person, $49 per child, from 9:30am to 2:30pm) features a wide away of items, including those at a carvery station and a seafood raw bar. The bakeshop will be offering its stollen, as well as many other treats, such as cookies, Christmas pudding, egg nog crème brulée, and Black Forest bûche de Noël.

Before or after you eat, make sure to check out the 32nd Annual Festival of Trees (until January 1, 2019) on the 1st and 2nd floor lobbies, and vote for your favourite one (decorated by sponsors). It’s all part of raising awareness and funds for the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.
