Christmas Logs from Le Ritz Paris Le Comptoir 2025: Barley Sugar, Sleigh, and Gift

Looking for an exceptional log to enhance your Christmas table? We reveal the creations of the Ritz Paris Le Comptoir for the 2025 holidays. This year, the Christmas logs take us straight back to our childhood memories, with all the holiday magic we love so much. Three gourmet creations await us: the limited edition Bûche Sucre d'Orge, the Bûche Cadeau inspired by the famous Ritz au Lait, and the Bûche Traîneau, which revisits the Entremets Marbré.

The Bûche Sucre d'Orge is clearly the favorite of this collection. With its red and white twists, it reminds us of the treats we used to hang on the Christmas tree when we were little. It features a Savoy biscuit with toasted Papua New Guinea vanilla, a creamy layer, a crispy layer, and a mousse made with vanilla from Uganda and Papua New Guinea. The decoration is made with a vanilla hibiscus flower infusion that adds fruity notes.

The bonus? This exceptional log isdelivered in a toy box that hides forty shortbread cookies. It's cute, delicious, and keeps the fun going after the holidays. Be warned, it's limited to fifty numbered copies, so don't wait to order.

The Bûche Cadeau pays tribute to the Ritz au Lait, the iconic pastry from Ritz Paris Le Comptoir created by François Perret. Under its pretty, edible packaging, there are two versions to discover. The classic version features a speculoos shortbread cookie hiding Madagascar vanilla rice pudding, a creamy filling, and speculoos praline, all layered with thin sheets of milk chocolate millefeuille. For those who love exotic flavors, the coconut-mango version features a coconut shortbread, coconut rice pudding, mango sauce, and a creamy roasted coconut filling with white chocolate leaves. There's something for everyone.

The Sleigh Yule Log immerses us in a true Christmas fairy tale. It revisits the Marbled Dessert that we love at François Perret. The sleigh, decorated with the Ritz Paris emblem, hides a melt-in-the-mouth almond biscuit with jelly and citrus zest. On top is a Madagascar vanilla mousse with orange marmalade and lemon cream, plus little gifts of white chocolate praline with lime.

If you prefer more nostalgic flavors, the pecan version features a caramelized pecan cookie, mousse and creamy vanilla, pecan praline, and milk chocolate gifts. Both versions are worth trying.

We often talk about Le Comptoir at the Ritz Paris, and with good reason: it has become a real benchmark since it opened in 2021. With two locations in Paris, in the 1st and 6th arrondissements, it's now easier than ever to visit. In fact, in 2024, the establishment was voted Best Pastry Shop in the World by La Liste. François Perret, who ran the Ritz Paris patisserie for ten years until August 2025, left us with unforgettable creations such as his revisited madeleines and marbled desserts that we never tire of tasting.

What we love about these Christmas logs from the Ritz Paris is that they have real personality. Each one tells a story, taking us back to a moment from our childhood. You can sense the work that has gone into them, the attention to detail and the combination of flavors.

In terms of price, the Bûche Sucre d'Orge with its toy box is €250 for 8 to 10 people (limited edition of 50) and €20 for an individual portion. The Ritz Milk Gift Log in Speculoos or Coconut-Mango flavors is €95 for 6 to 8 people and €18 for an individual portion. The same price applies to the Marbled Sleigh Log in Pecan or Citrus flavors: €95 for 6 people and €18 for an individual portion.

In short, the Christmas logs from Le Comptoir at the Ritz Paris play on nostalgia with a good dose of creativity. Between the barley sugar that takes us back to childhood, the gift that reinvents the Ritz au Lait, and the sleigh that revisits the marbled cake, it's hard to choose. Our advice?
