Christmas is almost here, and as you may have noticed, I’ve been posting a lot on this topic. Today, I’m going to make your mouth water (I hope…) with my selection of Christmas logs to happily wrap up your festive meal. Searching for the perfect Christmas log is a bit like hesitating between Ladurée and Pierre Hermé macarons; it’s a matter of taste. Anyway, here is my little (obviously non-exhaustive) selection of Christmas desserts that I would love to see on my Christmas table or at New Year’s Eve…

La Maison du Chocolat
The famous Parisian chocolatier is committed to traceable cocoa sourcing, right back to the producer. Their chocolates contain no artificial colors or flavors, and are free from GMOs and palm oil. The brand also offers eco-designed packaging and is committed to optimizing its boxes. Furthermore, all their gift sets are 100% recyclable (excluding the ribbon).

Christmas Log 2025
This year, Nicolas Cloiseau has imagined a log as a tribute to the City of Light through the Opéra Garnier. A dome on the rooftops of Paris, a room in red and gold—a décor designed for wonder. The Opéra Garnier inspires, as does its dome. This year, it becomes a dessert with a subtly spiced Vanuatu chocolate mousse, a vibrant tangerine confit, a melting nougat with roasted dried fruit bits, and puffed rice for lightness and crunch. In addition to this signature log, the house also offers 3 timeless chocolate logs available every year: Caracas, Marajuca, and Figaro.

Signature Garnier log price: €210 each (single size for 8-10 people, limited edition)

Jean-Paul Hévin
The 2025 logs
The 2025 theme for the chocolatier is “Res Rêves et des Fèves” (Dreams and Cocoa Beans), which for Jean-Paul Hévin could be the theme of his entire career as a chocolatier, centered on his passion for cocoa and rare beans. The logs: Récré log with a caramelized hazelnut crunch, dark chocolate biscuit, caramel vanilla cream, and 70% Grand Cru Cameroon dark chocolate mousse (6-8 people, €67); Quatre Saisons log with a crispy almond duja, cocoa sponge biscuit, Sansho berry crème brûlée, and 70% Grand Cru Cameroon dark chocolate mousse (6-8 people, €67); the Nkolossang log with a crunchy anise gianduja shortbread, almond paste cocoa biscuit, and 70% Grand Cru Cameroon dark chocolate mousse (6 people, €58); the “Rennes” ice cream log with a chestnut biscuit, lime sorbet, chestnut parfait, and chestnut paste (6 people, €39).

This venue, acting as a museum, café, and boutique, located opposite the Palace, aims to showcase French excellence.

The “letter to Santa” log
The pastry chef’s log is once again a trompe-l’œil. This dessert takes the shape of the bird feather emblem of the Les Belles Perdrix restaurant and comes with an inkwell containing wine from Château Troplong Mondot, which will reveal a secret message signed by Santa Claus. This dessert, inspired by one of the menu items at the restaurant, consists of a vanilla mousse and a caramel passion heart, with notes blending acidity, freshness, and lightness. A Jerusalem artichoke crunch, with gourmet aromas, completes this log.
