This year, The Fresh Market is gearing up for December holidays focusing on consumer trends garnering the most attention in the food industry.  This year they are focused on garnering new customer with the launch of several prepared meal options, as well as specialty food gifts ranging from coffee and tea to hot cocoa bombs and bacon chutney in a mix and match grocerant niche bundled set of options.

The fully prepared meals to feed a crowd are now available for in-store and online ordering, and customers can pick them up between Dec. 21 and Dec. 24. Options include the Ultimate Holiday Meal for $179.99, which can feed 12-14 people and includes a 10-12 pound turkey, a boneless sliced ham, herb stuffing, a green bean medley, 24 dinner rolls and more.

The there is ‘The Traditional Holiday Meal’, which costs $99.99 and serves eight to 10 people, comes with a fully cooked turkey, whipped potatoes, cranberry relish and more.

Just as important to many customers as saving the time to cook all of the meal components from scratch is the fact that, The Fresh Market is also committing to feeding the hungry this holiday season with its Holiday Round Up campaign.
