‘Tis the season for feasting, and feasting big time.

The only thing is, seasonal multi-course meals can take a lot of time and often a pretty penny – which doesn’t interest everyone. So if you still want to get festive and taste some only-here-once-a-year items, there’s plenty of holiday dishes you can enjoy on the fly.

Here are five must-try winter dishes in Vancouver.

1. Gingerbread Pancakes from The Red Wagon Cafe

Just when you thought pancakes couldn’t get better, Red Wagon made it happen with their gingerbread pancakes topped with buttered hot toddy syrup and lemon drizzle.
