7) Jaconde Cakes
| Key Feature | Flavorful Christmas food |
| Where to Buy | https://www.facebook.com/jocondecakes/ |
| Price | ₱1,450 |
Joconde—a company known for its excellent carrot cake and stollen—recently debuted EnsayBabka, its subbrand. For the uninitiated, ensaymada is a yeasted treat that’s similar to Jewish babka; it has the fluffy, buttery character of the former and the savvy swirls of the latter. The Salted Egg Yema variation is filled with yema cream, salted-egg bits, and caramel; it strikes the perfect balance between salty and sweet while also being soul-warming and rich.
Key Differentiators:
- Buttery and savory swirls
- Richness in every bite
- Christmas picturesque box

The Daily Knead’s won us over with its wide range of delicious bread and bakes, so we were excited to see the Brioche Wreath on their holiday menu. As the name implies, it’s a ring of buttery brioche balls formed into a wreath shape—the perfect centerpiece for your Christmas spread.

14) China Mommy
| Key Feature | Homecooked Christmas food |
| Where to Buy | https://www.facebook.com/chinamommyph/ |
Linda Co’s cult favorite cooking is definitely the best and it would have been such a tragedy if it wasn’t available this year. But don’t worry, because this amazing cook insisted that she couldn’t bear to disappoint her fans by not offering her boneless hams during the holidays. They introduced it to their online business two years ago and since then, Linda’s regulars who are obsessed with her Filipino-Chinese comfort food absolutely love it!
