"Winter" themed foods?

DD's first birthday is Dec. 15 and we're having her party the Saturday before.  The party is a "winter" theme.  The invitations are blue with snowflakes, we're doing pin-the-button-on-the-snowman for the kids, there's going to be a hot chocolate buffet...  Here's my question.  What foods scream "winter" to you.  I know that I'm doing my Grandma's raw potato hotdish, but other than that I'm at a loss.

Re: "Winter" themed foods?

  • Chili. 

    Chicken Wild Rice Soup.

    Anything with gravy. 

  • Squash and pumpkin dishes... like butternut squash soup.

    Apple/cranberry salads, ciders and desserts

     

  • I second Chicken Wild Rice Soup, or any thick chowder or stew. 

    Definitely hot chocolate

  • Swedish meatballs with lingonberry sauce!  Yum!  (Yes, I'm Scandinavian...how could you tell?)  :-)  Ikea actually sells really good lingonberry sauce.

    Anything with pumpkin, baked apples, thick hearty bread to dip into a thick hearty stew, chili, pot roast...  now I'm getting hungry!!

  • Fondue also reminds me of winter, but that could just be me!  It's our Christmas Eve meal. 

    I bet kids would love something like a cheese fondue.

  • We are doing a baked potato bar. Not necessarily winter, but hot and easy!

  • Definitely chili.  We make it in the crock pot which is super easy.

  • Butternut Squash (I cubed some last night, shook in a bag with olive oil, spread on a baking sheet, sprinkled with kosher salt & roasted.. YUM, savory goodness)
    Pot Roast
    Chili
    Christmas Cookies
    Pumpkin/Banana/Spiced breads
    Fondue (we also do this for Christmas!)
    Baked apples
