Hickory Farms for the Holidays

The holidays are right around the corner and we’re all gearing up for buying those gifts and celebrating around the dinner table with friends and family. Growing up, my favorite part of the holidays was the appetizer spread. On one side, the pretty vegetable sticks and dip appetizers, on the other side, the hearty “man food” appetizers. On a tray of crackers we loaded up each one with a thick slice of smoked sausage topped with a hearty portion of aged cheddar cheese and dug in. Think about it, veggie sticks or meat and cheese crackers? The choice is pretty easy.

Hickory Farms takes the fuss out of finding the perfect appetizer spread with holiday gift boxes that include a variety of cheeses and smoked sausages. Whether your pleasure is smoked beef sausage or turkey sausage, Sharp Wisconsin Cheddar or Smoked Gouda, there’s a gift box that blends the meat and cheese combo for your holiday spread.

We were able to sample the Summer Sausage and Cheese Gift Box that included: 2 – 12 oz Beef Summer Sausages, a 7 oz Pennsylvania Dutch Edam, a 6.5 oz Apple Pie Cheddar and a 7 oz Sharp Wisconsin Cheddar. It was the perfect combination for a Ritz cracker topping that we enjoyed as a late night snack, saving the rest for our Turkey Day dinner. Each package was nestled in a soft box with a few bonus candies spread throughout and very fresh.

For a limited time this holiday season, for each Party Planner Gift Box sold, Hickory Farms will donate $5 to Share Our Strength, a leading national non-profit organization working to end childhood hunger in America.  Additionally, for 40 of these gift items, Hickory Farms provides free military shipping, allowing our troops across the globe to share in holiday traditions.
