JetBlue is kicking off the holiday travel season with new onboard experiences designed to make the season more enjoyable for travelers of all ages. From collectible charms and special entertainment lineups to flavorful winter menus inspired by top chefs, the airline is getting festive starting this month.

JetBlue Blue Charms

JetBlue is introducing Blue Charms, a new collectible designed for travelers who love to show off their adventures in style. Modeled after the airline’s classic wings pins, these small, wearable keepsakes can be popped into shoes, bags, or apparel to create a personalized travel memento.

Two debut designs: the Wings Blue Charm and the Spotlight Tailfin Blue Charm are now available upon request on flights throughout the JetBlue network. Both kids and adults can collect them as souvenirs.

Boston Blue

This December, JetBlue becomes the first airline to premiere episodes of the new CBS series Boston Blue, the next chapter in the Blue Bloods universe. Starring Donnie Wahlberg and Sonequa Martin-Green, the show follows Detective Danny Reagan’s transition to the Boston Police Department. Fans of the long-running franchise can watch the new series exclusively onboard before it airs widely.

JetBlue is also debuting its Season’s Screenings lineup, featuring classic holiday movies such as Elf, Home Alone, Frozen, and A Christmas Story. For those who prefer heartfelt romances and festive comedies, the Made-for-TV Holiday Flix collection includes A Merry Royal Christmas, Jingle All the Way to Love, and The Perfect Christmas Date.

As 2026 approaches, the Fresh Start collection welcomes travelers into the new year with uplifting films like Eat Pray Love, Soul, and About Time. Passengers can also browse Crewmember Picks, a curated selection of staff favorites, including timeless hits such as The Devil Wears Prada, Wicked, and Jurassic Park.

JetBlue’s culinary offerings in its Mint (Business Class) are also getting a festive upgrade, led by its acclaimed restaurant partner Charlie Bird. Each dish is designed around seasonal ingredients and comforting flavors that capture the essence of winter dining.

Mint Breakfast Menu Highlights:

  • Salted Greek yogurt with pumpkin seed granola and currants
  • Crêpes with ricotta and hazelnut praline
  • Banana bread pudding with crème anglaise
  • Spinach frittata with goat’s cheese, herb salad, and Parmigiano Reggiano

Mint Lunch & Dinner Selections:

  • Pork shoulder with figs, lardons, and rosemary jus
  • Mushroom lasagna with béchamel and Parmigiano Reggiano
  • Orecchiette with spicy vodka sauce, pecorino, and basil
  • Shrimp curry with fingerling potatoes

In JetBlue’s Core cabin, travelers flying to and from Europe can enjoy seasonal dishes from Dig Inn, a popular restaurant known for fresh, market-inspired meals (I used to love this place for lunch when I worked in NYC).

Breakfast Offerings:

  • Overnight oats with coconut milk, banana, roasted squash, and candied pumpkin seeds
  • Egg salad croissant with pickled onions, roasted tomatoes, and arugula
  • Banana bread with chocolate chips and cinnamon, or carrot cake with raisins and cream

Lunch and Dinner Options:

  • Pesto pasta salad with herb chicken, kale pesto, and roasted tomatoes
  • Ginger garlic tofu with chilled soba noodles and pickled vegetables
  • Sheet tray carrots seasoned with coriander and marjoram

Anthony’s Take: With its mix of new flavors, entertainment, and collectible keepsakes, JetBlue is making sure that this holiday travel season feels joyful in the air. I love how JetBlue incorporates its branding in fun ways like these charms.
