While we can’t wave a magic wand + make your favorite holiday-only items available year-round (looking at you, PSLs), we *can* fill you in on some limited-edition holiday products from Publix that you won’t want to miss out on this month – only available through the end of December.

🦃 Holiday dinners to-go

  • The dish: Choose from different options for pickup and heating at home, which all come with sides: the Regular Turkey Dinner (serves 7-10 people), Large Turkey Dinner (14-18 people), Fully Cooked Turkey Breast Dinner (7-10 people), or Boar’s Head Sweet Sliced Boneless Smoked Ham Dinner (7-10 people). You can also order sides only (like Marshmallow Delight and Cranberry Orange Relish).
  • How to get it: Order online or call your local Publix Deli at least 48-hours in advance.
  • Bonus: Pair with these holiday cocktail recipes. Then actually enjoy time spent with your guests, instead of in the kitchen cooking.

🍦 2019 Holiday Publix Premium Ice Cream

  • The scoop: Publix released 12 limited-edition ice creams for the 2019 holiday season – bringing back some of their customers’ most requested favorites. Flavors include Santa’s White Christmas (coffee with cocoa espresso flakes), Egg Nog (with nutmeg), and Sweet Potato Pie (a new flavor this year that we hear everyone at HQ is raving about, with cinnamon sugar shortbread pieces, roasted pecans + bourbon-flavored pecan swirl).
  • How to get it: Pick these up in the freezer section, available now through December.

🥪 Turkey Cranberry Holiday PubSub

  • The dish: Boar’s Head Ovengold Turkey, smoked gruyere cheese, bacon, mayo, and a splash of Publix’s signature cranberry-orange relish on a fresh baked Italian 5-grain sub roll. It is a truth universally acknowledged that Thanksgiving leftovers are best enjoyed in sandwich form.
  • How to get it: Order your sub ahead of time for in-store pickup or drop by the Publix Deli counter.
  • Fun fact: This “PubSub” recipe was originally thought up by Carol Jenkins Barnett, daughter of Publix founder George Jenkins.

🎃 Pumpkin Tea

  • The tea, sis: Made with black Argentine and Indonesian tea leaves and natural pumpkin spice flavor. Perfect for those of you with pumpkins still out on the front porch (guilty).
  • Where to get it: In the refrigerated drinks section of the Publix Deli.

🍪 Holiday cookies

  • The dish: This year’s limited-edition holiday flavors are Smores (new this year, with graham cracker flavor, semi-sweet chocolate chunks + mini marshmallows) and White Chocolate Cranberry (brown sugar, white chocolate chunks + cranberries).
  • How to get it: Pick these up in the Publix Bakery.
  • Bonus: Want one of everything? Try this Holiday Cookie Platter (a Publix Bakery secret recipe) with ~40 assorted holiday cookies. Those little cookie sandwiches with the jelly in the middle + the sprinkles on the end. It’s a weakness.

🍰 Holiday cakes + pies

  • The dish: This year’s five flavors of holiday cakes + pies include Double Decker Cherry Bar Cake (new this year, cherry-flavored cake filled with cherry bits, layered with fudge icing + topped with cream cheese chips), Seasonal Variety Creme Cake (German chocolate, red velvet, caramel praline + cranberry walnut crème – all in one cake) and Mini Coconut Cream Pie.
  • How to get it: Pick these up in the Publix Bakery.
  • Bonus: We hear that Mincemeat Pie is available by special request (order in advance by calling your store). Did you know Mincemeat doesn’t contain meat? It’s made with dried fruits + spices.

Reminder: These limited-edition holiday products are only available through the end of December. We’ll see you in the checkout line.
