Peaches in Winter?

My girlfriend really loves peaches. I’m okay with peaches, but being European and a trained chef, I’m highly attuned to the seasonality and quality of produce.

But she REALLY likes peaches.

This Christmas, with her being a teacher and me being unemployed and sick, we’re keeping it very small, but I would like to give her ONE gift that will be memorable and also not more junk that nobody needs.

Hence, my idea for winter peaches, and specifically, is it possible to acquire them from the Southern Hemisphere where if grown, they’d be in-season now?

One gift is better than none, and one memorable gift is better than ten Amazon boxes of future trash.

So I come to ask a fairly simple yet moronic question: is it possible to order fresh peaches in the US in December?

(the odd thing is, we can get all sorts of tropical fruit any time of the year, but peaches are somehow omitted by all the various online fruit companies I’ve inquired of about them)

cheers!
