Vancouver’s Popina Cantina announced this week that throughout the holiday season, it will be unveiling a series of limited-edition holiday puffcreams inspired by the nostalgic festive flavours of chefs and co-owners Angus An, Hamid Salimian, and Robert Belcham.
The first addition to the holiday puffcream collection (all three pictured below) is a crushed shortbread and fluffy marshmallow Snowbank Puffcream inspired by Belcham’s favourite childhood memories of sledding in northern Alberta and coming home to freshly-baked shortbread cookies.
The second is a Christmas Tree Puffcream from An that features a classic winter flavour combination in frosty mint and chocolate, while the third is an Eggnog Puffcream from Salimian inspired by traditional holiday spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
