Does that mean my meal reservation for a flight on 12/19 will be invalid? I’ll check back Monday to see if options change.
They typically only cater a few hazelnut vodkas, so hopefully they increase the number. I love adding them to my coffee with some baileys.

Catering will indeed be increased. The communication states "10 extra hazelnut espresso vodkas are added to each main cabin beverage cart."

My 12/18 options are Butternut Squash Ravioli and Chicken Breast with Harissa Chicken Jus. I believe these are both new offerings.

Lol....are we talking about giving everyone a little candy mint in main cabin? Wow, that's quite a change unless they mean "Would you like a package of Biscoff cookies or the holiday mint?". Honestly, I'd rather just have the Premium class snack AND the main cabin cookie when I'm in Premium class, but I guess I'll take the mint

But only on premium long haul routes (BOS/NY/DC). Meanwhile, the competition has been offering complimentary meals on their premium transcon routes, though I realize that doesn't compete with signature water service and holiday mint service.
