Winter in India brings a unique joy slow mornings, warm sunlight, family gatherings and a festive rush of flavours. For decades, our elders have prepared special sweets during winter, not just for taste but for seasonal nutrition and immunity.
These sweets combine pure ghee, dry fruits, herbs and Ayurvedic ingredients, making them a natural winter superfood.
At Vijay Dairy, we continue this winter tradition by preparing authentic seasonal sweets using our own pure milk and ghee, made fresh every day.
If you are in Surat, these are the five most loved winter sweets you can enjoy this season.
How Winter Affects Your Body,
When it gets cold, your body goes through some changes:
- Slower Metabolism – Your body conserves energy, so you feel hungrier and need warm, high-calorie foods.
- Weaker Immunity – Sudden cold can make you more prone to coughs, colds, and infections.
- Stiff Joints and Muscles – Cold reduces flexibility, making joints feel stiff.
Traditional winter sweets help:
Sweets like Methi Pak, Gundar Pak, Adadiya Pak, Salam Pak, and Khajur Pak have been used for centuries because they:
- Boost immunity

- Increase energy
- Keep the body warm
These nutrients help your body stay strong throughout the year, especially for women, children, and elders.

How Winter Sweets Keep You Healthy All Year
Winter sweets are not just seasonal cravings, they are traditional nutrition meant to prepare the body for the year ahead.
Here’s how they help:
Storehouse of Energy
The healthy fats from pure ghee, nuts and dates provide long-term stored energy that supports the body even after winter ends.
Support Bone & Joint Health
Ingredients like gond, methi, urad dal and dry fruits strengthen joints, which reduces chances of weakness during summer and monsoon.
Boost Immunity
Spices like ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves help the body fight seasonal infections naturally.
Improve Digestion
