Join a local expert from Budapest to learn about Hungarian Christmas traditions in a virtual cooking class.

All Online Escapes are virtual experiences, so for this online cooking class in Budapest, you’ll need an internet connection and the ability to stream audio and video. You can use your computer, tablet, or phone—whichever you prefer.

A link to manage your reservation, along with details about how to join, will be included in your confirmation email.

Our Online Escapes are led by hosts from around the world. When you join this online cooking class, you’ll meet your host, Bea, as well as anyone else who signs up. Each Online Escape has a maximum group size listed. Currently, Online Escapes are led in English and available to anyone in the United States and Canada.

In a part of this online escape, you’ll learn how to make Szaloncukor and Glühwein. To get the full experience, we recommend bringing:

• 4 oz dried dates, pitted and as soft as possible (If you don’t like dates, prunes will work, too!)
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1/4 cup cashews or pecans
• 2 Tbsp coconut oil
• 2–3 tsp coconut flakes
• Ground cinnamon
• Whole or ground nutmeg
• The peel of an orange
• 1 cup chocolate chips (ideally dark 70%)
• 1/2 bottle red or white wine, dry or sweet (Your preference! What you have open in your fridge is fine)
• Whole spices for the hot wine: Cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg (optional), star anise (optional), cardamom (optional)
• 3–5 Tbsp white sugar
• 1 orange & 1 lemon

While we hope you don’t have to, you can cancel your reservation online for a full refund up until 24 hours prior to the start of your Online Escape. You can read our full policy here.
