For the past few years, the norm has been for me to reserve some vacation days just in case DH had a last minute interview. Now that he is successfully employed, I am left with quite a few vacation days left to squeeze in by the end of the year. I’m excited about taking some time off and spending time with the kids, but it also means I have a quite a bit of gift buying to tackle before that happens. Normally I would be worried that there is only about 2 weeks left to shop, but with the help of Walgreens holiday solutions, I can pick up some delicious party snacks as well as shop for as many last minute Christmas gifts as I need…before it’s actually the last minute.
Hosting parties over the holidays doesn’t have to be stressful, and party snacks don’t always have to be decadent, high calorie sweets. Walgreens Good & Delish line of premium snacks offers some healthier alternatives like dried fruit mixes and varieties of gourmet fruit and nut blends.
There is also an array of multi-grain chips and salsa! Crunch doesn’t always have to come from cookies. Even though all of the Good & Delish cookies look ah-mazing! It was hard not to just keep adding more and more snacks to my cart.
As I wandered around Walgreens for a few more creative gifts, I was surprised to see a large assortment of gourmet appetizers in the Good & Delish brand. I am all about saving time prepping for holiday parties, and serving some warm snacks that I can easily heat and serve is a sheer bonus for this busy mom.
The innovative Good & Delish premium snacks area perfect for Holiday eating and entertaining. When serving multiple styles of snacks, try a festive arrangement to suit the holiday decor. Instead of just grabbing a simple bowl for nuts and fruit, use margarita or martini glasses for some whimsy. Try to use varying heights for serving dishes and create a pretty tablescape of your own. Feel free to even throw in a festive tablecloth for some holiday color.
Are you all prepared for the upcoming holidays? You can find more Christmas present ideas and Good & Delish products in the Walgreens Happy & Healthy Holiday Guide. I can feel a lot more relaxed knowing I have a great place to go for all my holiday party and gift needs.
What’s your favorite idea to add a little more flair when serving party snacks?

I stop at Walgreens at least once a week, but usually more. I love their delish snacks, though I hadn’t checked out their frozen foods before. Spanakopita is one of my favorite foods ever. I’m going to have to see if our Walgreens has it!
i was JUST at Walgreens yesterday. Love it. They have such great pricing and their store brands are fantastic quality!!
Those glasses are a great idea! I like to use holiday-themed bowls and plates when taking foods to a Christmas dinner or party.
All these Walgreen’s posts re their house brand has got me thinking! This must be good stuff, since there is a store 1 block away, some holiday shopping must be done there, and soon!
thanks,
Mitch
Walgreen’s is definitely my go to place for last minute things. Whether it be for a party or my everyday life I know I can get what I need and get in and out with a quality product. I need some lessons on adding flair to my party snacks, thanks for the tips!

Oh wow look at all this. Is this a fairly new line or has it just been too long since I’ve been in a Walgreens?
It’s fairly new Meghan and nothing I have tried has been short of delicious! Def go check it out if you are in a Walgreens!
I wish we had a Walgreen’s nearby! It looks like they have a great assortment of holiday snacks for parties! I like your serving ideas as well.
I had no idea that Walgreens has this yummy new line. I’m not usual one for jazzing things up, but I might have to grab something there next time just to experiment.
I have been wondering if the Delish brand tasted good but I haven’t had a chance to try them out. Thank you for sharing and I’ll give their dark chocolate a try.
I am a total snack freak. I’ll have to try these!
I love the Walgreens Good & Delish products. Some of their sweet treats are soooo good!
I shop at Walgreens but didn’t realize they had all these goodies. Going to keep my eye out on those cookies.
Mmmm I’d love the dry fruit mixes. Such a yummy snack. These all look great!
What a spread! Walgreens is definitely my go to place for last minute snacks. I’ll have to try the delish brand.
I’ve really been trying hard on saying no to things that don’t really matter. Like giving myself break during the holidays and not feeling that everything has to be made from scratch. I’ve tried a few of the Good & Delish products and have definitely found some items that I’d be delighted to share with guests! #client
