Introduction: A Montreal Christmas Story in Every Scoop

There is something truly incomparable about Christmas in Montreal . From the glowing light installations at the Quartier des Spectacles to the sound of boots crunching on fresh snow near the McGill campus, the city transforms into a winter wonderland. But as the temperature drops, the craving for something sweet and celebratory only grows.

While many think of frozen treats as a summer staple, the locals know that the best holiday frozen yogurt in Montreal is actually found in the heart of the winter. At YoYo Glace & Boba Tea, we’ve curated a seasonal menu that blends the nostalgic flavors of a traditional Christmas with our signature “chill” modern vibe.

Whether you’re taking a break from holiday shopping on Ste-Catherine or looking for a cozy spot to warm up after the Santa Claus Parade, our festive creations are designed to bring a smile to your face. In this guide, we’re revealing the must-try Christmas dessert Montreal combinations of the 2025-2026 season.

1. The Gingerbread House: A Homemade Classic

The foundation of any great holiday frozen yogurt in Montreal is the base. This year, we’ve perfected our Gingerbread Homemade Frozen Yogurt .

The Flavor Profile

Our gingerbread froyo isn’t just a flavor; it’s a memory. We use a blend of dark molasses, ground ginger, and a hint of cloves to replicate the taste of a freshly baked cookie. Because it’s fait maison (homemade), the texture remains silky smooth, providing a sophisticated backdrop for your toppings.

How to Style It:

The “Full Chalet” Look: Top your gingerbread yogurt with white chocolate chips (for snow), a mini gingerbread man, and a drizzle of warm caramel.
The Healthier Twist: For a low-calorie Christmas treat , pair the gingerbread base with sliced pears and a sprinkle of nutmeg.

2. The Peppermint Forest: Refreshingly Festive

For those who want their Christmas dessert Montreal to be as crisp as the winter air, our Candy Cane Peppermint creation is the clear winner.

Why Locals Love It:

Natural Refreshment: The peppermint oil used in our mix provides a natural “cool” feeling that clears the palate.
The Visual Appeal: There’s nothing more “Instagrammable” than the bright white yogurt contrasted with vibrant red candy cane crumbles.
Bilingual Bliss: Whether you call it peppermint or menthe poivrée , it’s the universal language of the holidays!

Pro Tip for Students:

If you’re a McGill or UQAM student finishing your last exams in December, the peppermint flavor is known to help with focus and alertness—it’s basically a study aid in a cup!

3. The “Sucre de la Montagne”: A Quebec Winter Tribute

We couldn’t celebrate Christmas in Montreal without honoring our local roots. Our Maple Spiced Toffee creation is a tribute to the Quebec sugar shack tradition, adapted for the urban center.

The Base: Vanilla-Maple swirl homemade froyo.
The Toppings: Toasted pecans, maple sugar flakes, and a warm maple syrup drizzle.
The Vibe: It’s rich, earthy, and perfectly captures the spirit of a local Montreal business .

4. Beyond the Cup: Hot Christmas Boba & Crêpes

We know that sometimes, you need a break from the cold. That’s why our holiday frozen yogurt in Montreal is often paired with our famous hot menu items.

The Christmas Bubble Tea (Bubble Tea de Noël)

Our Bubble Tea Chaud Montréal gets a holiday makeover with our “Midnight Cocoa Boba”—a warm, rich chocolate milk tea served with brown sugar pearls and a hint of peppermint. It’s the ultimate hand-warmer as you walk toward the St-Laurent Métro .

Festive Crêpes Artisanales

Our crêpes aren’t just for brunch; they are a staple dessert réconfortant centre-ville . Try the “Cranberry & Brie” crêpe for a savory-sweet holiday mix, or the “Nutella & Candy Cane” for a pure sugar rush.
