Create the Perfect Holiday Bagel Spread with Kettlemans
The holiday season is a time for gathering with friends and family, sharing laughter, and indulging in festive flavours.
At Kettlemans, we believe that nothing brings people together quite like a beautiful bagel spread. This year, elevate your holiday table with our signature bagels and cream cheese, paired with premium smoked salmon, for a spread that’s as stunning as it is delicious.
Start with the Star: Kettlemans Bagels
Every great bagel spread starts with the bagel itself. Our bagels are freshly baked, chewy on the inside, and perfectly crisp on the outside. Choose from our classic favourites like Everything, Sesame, or Plain, or add a festive twist with our Candy Cane bagel—a playful holiday treat that’s as fun as it is flavourful.
Cream Cheese: The Creamy Canvas
No bagel spread is complete without Kettlemans’ cream cheese. Smooth, rich, and perfect for spreading generously, our cream cheese comes in a variety of options. For the holidays, try our classic, chive, or our seasonal favourite, Hot Chocolate Cream Cheese. These festive flavours bring both taste and whimsy to your table.
Smoked Salmon: A Touch of Elegance
Add a touch of sophistication with premium smoked salmon. Its delicate, smoky flavour pairs perfectly with the creamy tang of Kettlemans cream cheese. Arrange it thinly on the board so guests can craft their own perfect bagel bites.
Fresh Toppings and Garnishes
Enhance your spread with vibrant, complementary toppings:
- Capers: A briny pop that balances richness.
- Red Onion: Thinly sliced for a hint of bite.
- Fresh Herbs: Dill or chives for color and aroma.
- Lemon Wedges: Brighten every bite with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
Build a Festive Display
Presentation matters! Use a large wooden board or platter and arrange bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, and toppings in visually appealing sections. Add small bowls for garnishes, and sprinkle in holiday touches like sprigs of rosemary, cranberries, or even candy cane bagels for extra festive cheer.
Tips for Hosting
- Prep Ahead: Slice bagels and toppings in advance for quick assembly.
- Label Flavours: Help guests navigate multiple cream cheese options with small labels.
- Mix Textures: Combine crunchy, creamy, and fresh elements for a balanced and inviting spread.
