Christmas celebrations are incomplete without making a trip to the legendary Nahoum & Sons in New Market. This famous Jewish bakery stocks a variety of plum cakes, fruit cakes, heart cakes, marzipan, and patties. Even though the quality has changed over the years, Nahoum & Sons is still a must-visit for its cakes and a ride into nostalgia. Make sure to reach much before the shop opens because there is always a huge crowd waiting to get their share of Christmas goodies during the season.

Located in an obscure corner in Taltala, Saldanha Bakery is run by a Goan family out of their home and is a must-visit for its plum cakes. Their items are not overly sweet and are available in a variety of flavours - fruit cakes, walnut cakes, plain cakes, and more. Their special Dundee cakes are a must-try. Saldanha loyalists swear by the quality and taste of their baked goodies making it a hit during the Yuletide season. You can either buy the readymade ones or order in advance.

This one is not a very popular one but is definitely one of the cheapest bakeries to get your plum cake fix from. It has been around for generations and churns out fresh and affordable traditional Christmas cakes. Their special fruit cakes and butter cakes are to-die-for. Located in Hogg Market, Imperial Bakers & Confectioners are also known to make the most delicious vegetable and chicken patties.

Mullick Confectioners is another age-old bakery in the city that churns out lip smacking plum cakes in the city. Located in New Market, this bakery has also been around for generations with regular customers swearing by the taste of their baked goodies. The bakery’s coconut, peanut, and chocolate cookies are a must-try. If you’re looking for something different to try this Christmas, we would definitely recommend the rose cookies sold here.

Another favourite among Calcuttans when it comes to Christmas goodies is the Lalit Great Eastern Bakery. This one will take you on a ride to nostalgia with its selection of plum cakes, fruit cakes, Dundee cakes, plum pudding, and stollen bread. We are big fans of their Christmas-themed star cakes, muffins, cupcakes, and rainbow cakes especially made during the festive season.

The Barua Cake Shop isn’t as popular as Flurys or Nahoums or even Saldanha but the bakery is an inseparable part of Christmas celebrations in Kolkata. It is located in Bow Barracks, which was once a vibrant and thriving Anglo-Indian para of the city and still sees massive Christmas celebrations annually. They use age-old home recipes to churn out the most delicious plum and fruit cakes crafted by J.N. Barua himself making it a must-visit during the Yuletide season.
