Florida-based Puff ’n Stuff Catering–with locations in Orlando, Tampa and Miami–has introduced its 2026 holiday menus, featuring traditional seasonal favorites, specialty cocktails and interactive chef-attended stations for corporate parties, private celebrations and other holiday events.
“There’s something special about bringing people together over great food, especially during the holidays,” said Tracy Vessillo, president of Puff ’n Stuff Catering. “We wanted this year’s menus to capture the flavors and traditions people look forward to while introducing unexpected touches that make each celebration feel unique.”
Classic Cocktails with a Holiday Twist
The seasonal beverage menu puts a holiday spin on classic cocktails, from the Mistletoe Margarita with white cranberry and ginger to the Holly Jolly Citrus with winter citrus and a hint of pomegranate. Additional selections include Apple Cider Bourbon with a cinnamon-sugar rim, Cherry Spiced Old-Fashioned and Pumpkin Pie Martini. Alcohol-free options range from chilled spiced apple cider and mocktails to a Holiday Spritzer Station, while a Hot Chocolate Bar invites guests to linger over a comforting treat.
Chef-Attended Interactive Stations
Interactive culinary stations include the Fresh Pasta Experience, where chefs prepare fresh pasta on-site with seasonal sauces and accompaniments. Carving stations serve Peppercorn-Crusted Beef Tenderloin and Tomahawk Steak, sliced to order, while additional chef-attended offerings include Grilled Shrimp and Butternut Squash Risotto, finished with toasted hazelnut crunch.
Traditional holiday entrées include Rosemary and Thyme-Marinated Turkey Breast with classic sage gravy and Red Wine-Braised Short Rib with cranberry and sage jus. Accompanying sides include Maple-Glazed Roasted Root Vegetables and Toasted Country Bread Dressing studded with dried apricots and cranberries.
Hors d’Oeuvres to Get the Party Started
For cocktail receptions, guests can enjoy hors d’oeuvres such as Holiday Bruschetta with butternut squash, toasted walnuts and balsamic smoked blue cheese alongside Mini Beef Wellington with mushroom duxelles and red wine demi-glace. Artisanal charcuterie and seafood displays are also available.
Dessert stations include a Holiday Blazing Doughnut Holes Station, where doughnut holes are flambéed with apple cider and bourbon and served with butter pecan ice cream, and a Create-Your-Own Pie Station with assorted fillings and toppings. Apple Cranberry Tarts and Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites round out the selections.
Puff ’n Stuff Catering’s 2026 holiday menus are available for events from now through December 31, with catering packages priced per person.
