The holidays are just around the corner, and there’s no better time to explore the rich traditions of European Christmas markets – without leaving the Fraser Valley!
The Windmill Deli, a community staple here in Abbotsford for more than 30 years, is bringing the magic of Europe to your table with its wide array of specialty foods, holiday treats and catering options.
Locally owned and operated, The Windmill Deli celebrates authentic European flavours. From Dutch cheeses to German sausages, and pierogis to traditional holiday sweets, their shelves are a treasure trove of seasonal delights.
“We’re passionate about sharing the foods we grew up with,” says owner Jessica. “For many, it’s a chance to bring a little taste of home to their celebrations. For others, it’s a way to explore something new and special during the holidays.”
A Christmas feast, European-style
The Windmill Deli's European deli line is a highlight, offering high-quality meats and cheeses at competitive prices. Their holiday selection includes hams and sausages, perfect for festive gatherings, and traditional sweets like Dutch stroopwafels and German marzipan.
For those hosting or attending Christmas parties, their in-house catering services make holiday prep effortless. Meat and cheese trays, made with their finest ingredients, are crowd-pleasers, while ready-to-go sandwiches, soups and salads simplify busy days.
“Our catering options are made fresh and designed to bring people together around great food,” Shop local, support community
