World-Class Chocolatiers Team Up for Holiday Pop-Up in San Marcos
U.S. World Chocolate Master and Netflix star Christophe Rull is teaming up again with Michelin-trained chocolatier Annaluna Karkar for a two-day holiday pop-up at Christophe Rull Patisserie in San Marcos.
If you’ve been following their previous collaboration or you’re just looking for seriously high-quality chocolate for the holidays, this is worth the drive to North City. We’re talking handcrafted chocolates, signature pastries, and the kind of craftsmanship that comes from two people who’ve trained at the highest levels.
What They’re Offering
The holiday menu features Annaluna’s handcrafted chocolates alongside Chef Christophe’s signature pastries. The lineup includes Owl Chocolate Bonbons in flavors like Hazelnut Crisp, Dark Chocolate/Caramel, Peanut Butter/Caramel, and Dark Chocolate Passion/Coconut.
There are Chocolate Tablets (Milk and Dark), Candy Chocolate Bars (Baklava, Sticky Toffee, Raspberry Pistachio, Coffee Caramel), and Handcrafted Chocolate Stems.
The holiday pieces lean festive – Nutcrackers, Stag Plaque, Gingerbread House & Tree Plaque, and Chocolate Christmas Tree Confections. These are the kind of items that work as gifts for people who actually appreciate quality chocolate rather than just generic boxed stuff.
Perfect for Gifting or Personal Indulgence
The mix of bonbons, tablets, candy bars, and decorative holiday pieces gives you options whether you’re buying for someone else or treating yourself.
The craftsmanship involved in handcrafted chocolate at this level means you’re paying for quality ingredients, precise technique, and artistry.
See you there!
