JetBlue Launches Winter Menu and Entertainment Lineup for the Holidays – Business Traveler USA

JetBlue is rolling out an array of holiday-themed upgrades, including new drink options, revamped in-flight menus, and a refreshed lineup of seasonal entertainment.

For the upcoming winter festivities, the airline is looking to elevate the travel experience with offerings like bourbon cream liqueur from Black Button Distilling, classic holiday movies, and exclusive Peacock series episodes, enhancing both its main cabin and Mint services.

A Taste of the Holidays

JetBlue’s new holiday menu packs a punch with numerous new holiday-themed additions. In partnership with Black Button Distilling, the airline now offers Bespoke Bourbon Cream, a rich, velvety liqueur from New York’s Rochester-based distillery.

The Bourbon Cream is a luscious New York original, blending small-batch Four Grain Bourbon with farm-fresh New York State cream. This cream liqueur delivers a richer, fuller taste than traditional Irish cream, with smooth notes of vanilla and caramel that bring warmth to every sip.

According to Black Button Distilling, the liqueur is sweet on the nose and velvety in texture, pairing perfectly with coffee for a cozy “Coffee with a Kick” or in creative cocktails like an Irish Cactus—two parts bourbon cream to one part tequila for a surprising twist.

The airline, however, invites its passengers to savor this smooth cream mixed with Pepsi or Pepsi Zero Sugar for a refreshing, fizzy twist.

Wines and Tea Roster

For those flying JetBlue’s Mint, a fresh selection of wines curated to complement Bar Pasquale’s Mediterranean-inspired menu offers what the airline calls “sophisticated tastes.” Notable selections include:

The airline’s wine selection brings variety to suit every palate. For those intrigued by unique flavors, the Enderle & Moll “Herr Müller” 2023 is a natural orange wine from Germany’s Baden region, offering bright, aromatic notes crafted from local Müller-Thurgau grapes.

For passengers in the mood for a light red, the Las Jaras Glou Glou 2022, a collaboration between actor Eric Wareheim and winemaker Joel Burt, delivers an easy-drinking, food-friendly experience.

For others preferring something bolder, the Nino Negri ‘Mazer’ Valtellina Superiore DOCG 2020 brings a spicy, herbal red from Italy’s alpine vineyards, balanced with rich, dark fruit flavors.

The Via Alpina “Giulietta” 2023, a zesty Sauvignon Blanc from Friuli, Italy, adds a refreshing note with its crisp profile crafted by esteemed winemaker Giampaolo Venica.

Rounding out the selection, the Jean-Baptiste Adam Crémant D’Alsace Brut NV—an organic sparkling wine from Alsace, France—offers a light, floral character, made in the classic Champagne method for a sophisticated touch.

Mint customers can also enjoy an array of specialty teas by Smith Teamaker, the Portland-based brand known for its exceptional flavors. Selections such as British Brunch, Jasmine Silver Tips, and Meadow (Chamomile Rooibos) bring a soothing twist to air travel, with oat milk from Minor Figures available for those seeking a dairy-free option.

Fresh Bites with Festive Flair

JetBlue’s EatUp Café menu features a variety of new seasonal bites. Economy travelers can choose from a Turkey Pretzel Sandwich, which layers turkey, white cheddar, and fresh arugula on a soft pretzel baguette, or a Harvest Salad packed with seasonal ingredients like kale, roasted butternut squash, pomegranate seeds, and a tahini dressing.

Up front, Mint passengers will enjoy a delightful array of winter-inspired Mediterranean dishes from Bar Pasquale, featuring a Chicory Salad with roasted apples, walnuts, and cider vinaigrette; Chicken Milanese topped with Brussels sprouts, capers, and a hint of lemon; Orecchiette combined with Pesto Genovese, Parmesan cheese, and tomatoes; and a Farro Salad with roasted tomatoes, radishes, and a refreshing lemon-pistachio vinaigrette.

For breakfast flights, Mint passengers can start their day with Salted Yogurt topped with currants and pumpkin seeds, Poached Pears with tarragon syrup, or Soft Scrambled Eggs sprinkled with everything bagel spice.

Seatback Holiday Classics

In addition to food and beverage, the airline’s entertainment lineup comes packed with holiday favorites.

Through JetBlue’s exclusive partnership with Peacock, travelers can watch the first three episodes of Love Island USA season six, alongside holiday films like Home Alone, The Holiday, Love Actually, and It’s a Wonderful Life.

Animated hits such as The Polar Express and Frozen—with Frozen 2 joining in December—ensure there’s something for everyone.

For fans of made-for-TV holiday romances, JetBlue’s Holiday Flix collection includes Mistletoe Match, A Royal Christmas Match, and Six Degrees of Santa. Passengers can even host a holiday watch party for up to five companions using JetBlue’s Blueprint feature, allowing everyone to enjoy holiday magic together from their seats.
