Prost & Patronus! NYE Yule Ball

Ring in the New Year at the Bavarian Inn Restaurant’s Yule Ball!

Step into a world where Bavarian charm meets wizarding wonder at our enchanted Yule Ball this New Year’s Eve! Inspired by the magic of Hogwarts, the Bavarian Inn Restaurant will transform into a winter wonderland filled with twinkling lights, swirling snowflakes, and spellbinding surprises. Guests will feast on festive flavors, sip enchanting potions and brews, and dance the night away. With a champagne toast, the night promises merriment, magic, and memories worthy of both Frankenmuth tradition and wizarding legend.

Course 1: The Hufflepuff Winter Feast — A hearty winter beef braise, slow-cooked until meltingly tender and tucked into a rustic sourdough bread bowl. Paired with clouds of warm Brie mousse and accompanied by a jewel-like pear mostarda, toasted hazelnuts, and golden honey cornbread.

Course 2: The Ravenclaw’s Midnight Duck — A bronzed, crisp-skinned duck confit leg, slow-cooked until irresistibly tender, paired with a jewel-toned blackberry port reduction that balances rich, savory flavors with a touch of dark sweetness. Nestled alongside it is a velvety butterfly pea flower risotto, its enchanting indigo hue lending an air of wizardry to every bite, with maple-Dijon Brussels sprouts adding caramelized warmth and a bright, savory finish.

Course 3: Slytherin’s Serpent Cod — Black cod filet crowned with crisp potato “scales,” served with an emerald and black garlic herb sauce and lemon-garlic roasted fennel. A cunning combination of emerald, shadow, and serpent-inspired flavor.

Course 4: Gryffindor Butterbeer Cakes — Layers of moist, buttery cake infused with rich butterscotch flavor, filled with creamy cream cheese frosting, and finished with a decadent butterscotch sweetness worthy of the bold and brave Gryffindors.
