Christmas enthusiasts will soon have a place to celebrate the season long after the decorations have come down. The Christmas Cafe is preparing to open at 24980 N. 83rd Ave., near 83rd Avenue and Happy Valley Road in north Peoria.
The new business is currently under construction and is expected to welcome its first customers in fall 2026, according to updates shared on Instagram.
Owners Victoria Andrej and Marie Pantelic are creating a cafe where the holiday spirit will be part of the experience year-round. With the slogan “Joy to the world, 365 days a year,” the concept will feature an inviting, Christmas-inspired design that lets guests slow down, connect, and spend time together.
Plans for The Christmas Cafe include coffee, fresh food, and a selection of curated retail products. The owners have also started previewing menu items on social media, including a Peppermint Bark Latte topped with homemade chocolate whipped cream, red and green sprinkles, and a peppermint bark snowman.
The owners have been sharing the cafe’s progress on Instagram. Once complete, The Christmas Cafe will give Peoria residents a place to enjoy coffee, food, and Christmas cheer during every season of the year.
