From Tuesday 12th November, Milano is launching its brand-new Christmas menu, with its famous Snowball Dough Ball Day also returning on Tuesday 19th November.

Everyone’s favourite Snowball Dough Balls are back with an additional delectable twist – in the form of a Snowball Dough Ball Wreath. The perfect sharing dessert to make your holiday gatherings even sweeter, this festive showstopper features the brand’s famous Dough Balls, dusted with cinnamon and icing sugar, topped with Pip the Pizzaiolo, a festive white chocolate gingerbread character dressed in Milano’s iconic striped t-shirt. Served with indulgent white chocolate and salted caramel dipping sauce, it’s guaranteed to be the star of the season.

Alongside the launch of its new festive menu, Milano is also excited to announce the return of its popular Snowball Dough Ball Day on Tuesday 19th November.

2024 marks the 20th anniversary of Milano’s partnership with Enable Ireland, and during this time Milano has raised over €290,000, with funds supporting the charity’s services, including their National Assistive Technology Training Services, which provides free technology services to children and adults with disabilities.

Paula MacKenzie, Milano CEO, said, “This season is one the most magical times of the year, and our delicious new menu is certainly the star of the show, with many new and returning festive favourites. However, it's also a time for spreading joy and making a difference to those in need, so we’re delighted to bring our famous Snowball Dough Ball Day back in support of the incredible work Enable Ireland do to support families.”

Donal Kitt, National Fundraising Manager at Enable Ireland, said, “It’s fantastic that Snowball Dough Ball Day is making a return this year and we want to thank Milano, its team members and customers for their support over the past 20 years. The funds raised have enabled us to purchase vital technology and equipment and made a real difference in the lives of children and adults using our services.”

The festive menu will launch in all restaurants from Tuesday 12th November, with the Snowball Dough Ball Wreath being joined by a number of festive treats, including:
