Our pals at Toronto’s @marbenresto are making spirits bright (see what we did there?) by offering specially crafted cocktails off the menu at its sister spot @thecloakbar in a takeaway format this holiday season.

Visit the link in their bio for more info and how to shake up your own customized gift box of cocktails ranging from old-fashioned classics to delightfully inventive twists.

Now more than ever, it’s vital for all of us doing our holiday shopping and meal planning to do whatever we can to stay local and support small and independent businesses in our neighbourhoods.

It’s been a tough year, but your support of local merchants, cafes, restaurants, breweries and wineries can make a big difference to their bottom line and make spirits a little brighter this festive season.

This tasty festive feast comes courtesy of our friends at @sprezzatura_van, who are helping hosts take some of the stress out of the holiday season with dinner meal kits!

Each dinner includes: Turkey Roulade, mashed potatoes, butter, gravy, stuffing, sprouts, carrots and mushrooms and are available in servings for 3-4 or 4-6 people, with wine pairings are also available for thirsty folks.

Orders will be ready to pick up at staggered times between 4 and 6 pm on Christmas Eve. Order deadline is December 21st at noon.
