Quebrada Bakery in Arlington will make them, pre-ordered. I was in there this morning (their Dancing Goats coffee is just yummy, but I digress) & their sign said to make holiday orders by the 21st to ensure Dec 23rd/ 24th pickup.

You have lucky guests!

Whole Foods has them, but I have never tasted them

If you're near Concord, MA, then Nashoba Brook Bakery makes a beautiful one! I have not sampled it, but I can attest that the rest of their confections and breads are wonderful! Really great sandwiches too, if you happen to plan a day trip to pick it up :)

While I usually make my own, owing to time constraints I bought mine last year at Bread & Chocolate in Newton. It was pretty fabulous (proper buttercream instead of something from a Sysco can). I'd call ahead to make sure they have them.

I got an email from Cake. in Lexington saying that they will have them.

Try Konditomeister (sp) in Braintree.....

too late for this year, but Cambridge School for Culinary Arts sells them at their annual charity bake sale (supporting "Share Our Strength"). You can reserve ahead, and there are usually some unreserved.

I've seen them at Wilson Farms in Lexington. All made up and ready to buy.

I was going to say that too but caveat that I haven't had it and the quality of the baked goods there is uneven. Party Favors would be a better bet IMO.

Got a quick answer: that bûche de Noël came from Party Favors in Brookline. Apparently they're keeping them in stock, no pre-order necessary, but it's probably a good idea to call ahead anyway. It was pretty, fairly lightweight, and had a nice mocha flavor to it.

A friend served a beautiful one at her holiday party this weekend. I'll ask where she got it and report back.
