Christmas Specialties
Germany is known for baked sweets and at Christmas the country’s traditional treats are truly spectacular. Oasis works with a number of importers to bring the best of German Christmas to the New River Valley at surprisingly affordable prices. A few of the holiday confections we carry are:
- Stollen – a loaf-shaped Christmas cake baked with dried fruit, nuts, and spices and covered with powdered sugar. Ours has a marzipan filling.
- Lebkuchen – a large round soft gingerbread cookie baked for Christmas. The city of Nűrnberg is known for having the best Lebkuchen and it is where we source ours.
- Dominos – Chocolate-covered Petit Fours made with soft gingerbread, fruit puree, and marzipan.
- Spekulatius – Traditional spice cookies from Germany, Holland, and Belgium. Made in special wooden molds to create beautiful designs.
- Pfeffernusse – Round, hard spice cookies with a sugar frosting. Perfect for dunking in hot cocoa.
