Where to Get Outrageous Cookies This Holiday Season
What Atlanta lacks in actual snow, we make up for with holiday spirit. In the days following Thanksgiving, everyone in the city prepares to make yet another holiday season bright. Lights at the gardens, Claus at the malls, and most importantly; an overwhelming amount of food. Nothing screams holiday cheer like sharable, sweet and seasonal cookies only available during the winter months at some of your favorite local spots! Here is our official guide to getting the most outrageous and delicious limited-time treats!
This over-the-top tower is perfect for all December festivities!

Whether you want to wow 40 family members or 200 co-workers, Alon’s will create a beautiful tree of treats for everyone to enjoy.
Who needs chestnuts roasting on an open fire, when you can have a package of pralines? This southern staple is a perfect holiday gift and can double as treats for Santa.
