Ladurée Brings Golden Holiday Delights to the UAE & Saudi

December in the Gulf has its own festive spirit: sparkling evenings, calendars brimming with gatherings, and that perennial quest for the perfect holiday treat. This season, Ladurée UAE and Saudi Arabia lean into that energy with a festive collection shaped by a different kind of winter story—one drawn from the Garden of the Hesperides, where golden fruit and quiet symbolism fill the air. The collaboration with illustrator Daria Song sets the scene. Her artwork transforms each gift box into a tiny universe of branches, stars, and macarons arranged like ornaments. It’s the kind of packaging that settles naturally onto a coffee table and becomes part of the holiday scenery. Inside, the seasonal assortment ranges from compact eight-piece boxes to podium-style drawers carrying enough macarons and Eugénies for a full family spread. The pâtisserie lineup arrives with its own pace. Ladurée’s Yule Logs are here to stay for the season, each built around layered textures. The Chocolate Caramel version brings hazelnut sponge, salted crunch, caramel, and dark chocolate mousse, while the Ispahan log folds rose, raspberry, and lychee into a mascarpone Chantilly centre. Together they shape the kind of dessert moments that anchor long evenings. From December 5th, two limited-edition macarons join the counter: Chestnut, finished with crêpe dentelle petals, and Hot Chocolate Marshmallow, filled with spiced marshmallow and cocoa nibs—a sweet nod to cooler winter evenings in the Gulf. And when the new year begins, the Galette des Rois takes centre stage. Available across the UAE and Saudi Arabia from January 1st to 31st, 2026, this puff pastry and almond cream treat hides a little charm inside, turning the first week of January into a ritual as sweet as it is timeless.
