With Christmas right around the corner, we’re all looking for ways to save a little time. The next time you head to your favorite neighborhood Foodland, remember that it’s more than a place to buy ingredients for your Christmas dinner. It’s also your stop for thoughtful local gifts, party prepping and more. Here’s how Foodland is keeping it festive, local style, this holiday.

Foodland’s party platters are an easy way to save on prep time (our main MO during the busy holidays) and guaranteed to be crowd pleasers at your next gathering.

Go online to foodland.com to browse dozens of options for every course, including appetizers, poke and sushi, entrees, sides and desserts. Foodland favorites are all on the menu, making it super simple to bring mouthwatering salt and vinegar wings, rich butter mochi or your favorite poke to your holiday potluck. Heading to a barbecue? You can even order five-pounders of ‘ono ready-to-grill meats such as pulehu chicken, kalbi and char siu pork.

Hosts can choose from several party packages available for every type of party. Order the snack, poke, party or fan favorites package and you’ll save 10% or more in the bundle. Orders can be placed online and either picked up in-store or delivered to your location of choice.

Remember when, earlier this year, Foodland collaborated with local artists to create a collection of 75^th anniversary prints? The brand has now launched a brand-new collection, with totes, pouches, puzzles, placemats and beach towels featuring those same designs by Jana Lam, John Hook, Punky Aloha and more. These exclusive items can only be found at Foodland and make wonderful unique gifts for keiki, far-away friends or even just yourself.
