3 Tips for Shopping at Publix During the Holidays
Navigating the holidays is stressful enough, so make your grocery run a little easier by visiting Publix on a Wednesday or Thursday. That’s when their weekly sales begin (check your local store online or in the app), meaning you’re more likely to catch a BOGO, plus you’ll avoid the weekend crowds.
2. Order ahead
Publix also streamlines holiday hosting with prepared meals and platters, like a full turkey dinner with sides or a fruit-and-cheese tray, all available to order ahead. Procrastinators take note: The lead time is refreshingly short, too, with some items requiring only one to two days’ notice.
3. Seek out the holiday section

Want a cute piece of decor for the office? You might need a mini gingerbread house. Holiday baking? Here are all the sprinkles and icings you could need. It’s nice not to have to go on a scavenger hunt throughout the store to find these items during this already rushed time of year.

The Publix bakery offers an amazing array of beautifully decorated cakes throughout the year, but they really step it up during the holiday season. One classic example? The Christmas Book Cake, a treat that resembles an open vintage book with a cozy, glowing candle decoration on one side and your message on the other. If you only need cake for a few people, you can get the Christmas Tree Mini Cake, which features cheerfully decorated Christmas trees and broad white and red stripes.
On the more modern side, the supermarket chain went viral this year with their new pink-hued Merry Birthday Cake that offers a cheery holiday vibe with blue swag, green ruffles and bows, plus a collection of tiny Santa hats made of frosting on top. You can get a two-tiered or mini version of the cake to celebrate a December birthday—or you can just order the cute cake sans birthday message and bring a little extra cheer to your holiday party.
4. Publix Cranberry Cinnamon Goat Cheese

I love the pop of color and tangy flavor it adds to a cheese plate. You can leave it whole and let people dig in or slice it into rounds to show off the contrast between the pale cheese and the colorful coating. Pro tip: You’ll find it in the deli section with the rest of the specialty cheeses.

Cranberry orange relish ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #publix
♬ original sound - user34138628899One of my go tos is the cranberry orange relish, which is the perfect counterpoint to all the rich holiday food. While it’s not a complicated side to make, the Publix deli section makes it that much easier by letting you pick up a pre-made version. It tastes so fresh, everyone will think it’s homemade anyway. Serve the tangy sauce with your big holiday meals, spread it on a sandwich, add it to a grazing board or even stir some into your morning yogurt or oatmeal.
6. Scalloped Potatoes Mornay With Leeks
Publix
The combination of red skin potatoes in and Asiago and Swiss cheese sauce can stand up to hearty mains, like prime rib and ham, but is also great with a roast turkey, if you're a Christmas poulty family.

10/10 Publix charcuterie board #charcuterie #entertainingathome
♬ original sound - Lolita Loves ItIf you're having a laid-back afternoon party or need to feed long weekend guests, you can get an assortment of subs. The chicken tenders are a classic, but it's hard to go wrong with an Italian or chicken Parm sub. If you're looking for something a little fancier, you can get an artfully arranged charcuterie box packed with Asiago and Gouda cheeses alongside salami and olives. The assortment of meats, cheeses and fruits is packed on its own platter, so all you have to do it lift it out of the box and put it on the table. Appetizer done!
8. Turkey Cranberry Pinwheels
Publix
They’re sold in a four-pack, making them the ideal grab-and-go meal, whether you're rushing from one holiday concert to the next, prepping for a party, doing some last-minute shopping or chilling on the couch for a holiday movie marathon. The combo of meaty turkey and tangy cranberry gives off a festive vibe, the red-and-green color scheme is on point for this time of year and there's something about a pinwheel that says "party."

Not all store-bought eggnog is worth seeking out, but Publix’s version of the iconic holiday drink strikes the right balance between delicious and affordable. It’s thick and creamy with a custardy texture and a classic eggnog flavor with notes of nutmeg. It’s particularly great heated up on a cool winter night or splashed into coffee (we won’t tell if you slip some rum in, too).
