Savor the season with Talulla’s creamy delicata squash soup ($16). Made with smoked duck, brown butter and garnished with fried chestnuts for some extra earthiness, this seasonally inspired dish created as part of the restaurant’s tasting menu is now available a la carte. “This soup is incredibly comforting,” says Conor Dennehy, chef/owner of the Cambridge restaurant. “Although it isn’t necessarily something that your mom would’ve made when you were a kid, there’s something so familiar about it.”

Steep yourself in holiday cheer at the Langham’s winter Snowflake Tea ($55; $35, children). “Our tea menu is always crafted using local and seasonal products,” executive chef Mark Sapienza says. Choose from a collection of premium varietals while nibbling on tasty treats like gingerbread truffle pops in the festively decorated Reserve Lounge. Enjoy it while you can—the hotel closes April 1 for a yearlong renovation.

Illuminate your home with a candle from the Little Goods Co. ($27). Using recycled wine bottles, owner Ashley Armstrong gives new meaning to getting toasted with the Boston-based line of hand-poured soy wax candles, available in scents like lemon eucalyptus and rosemary. “All of my wine bottles are from actual people or restaurants,” Armstrong says. “Now they are living another life as candles and can continue to live a third life when someone burns them and repurposes them for something later.”

Warm up your workouts with the Franklin Fleece ($128), a collaboration between Boston-based running company Tracksmith and New Hampshire’s Polartec Fabrics. Crafted specially for distance running, this breathable outerwear features Polartec’s quick-drying double velour microfleece to prevent moisture and retain warmth. “Pushing your comfort zone in the colder months isn’t easy—neither is willing yourself out the door into freezing air,” says Polartec’s Fielding Miller.

Keep cozy on winter strolls by donning a beanie from Sh*t That I Knit ($125). The company, which just opened a pop-up at the Seaport’s She Village, recently switched to faux fur pompoms for its line of handmade hats. “It’s part of a larger sustainable fashion movement,” founder Christina Fagan says. “It’s become a faux pas to use fur, and we stand behind that.”
