December ALDI Finds to make your holiday dinner a breeze

December is here and we all have one thing on our minds: the holidays! Whether we are hosting a holiday gathering or attending one, food will often be the highlight of these get-togethers. If you are looking for an affordable holiday meal, ALDI has you covered. From appetizers to desserts, here are some of the December ALDI finds that will help you prepare a delicious spread.

Appetizers

Charcuterie boards continue to be all the craze and ALDI can help you make an epic board on the cheap. I am always impressed with the number of different cheeses that the store carries.  Add Specially Selected Assorted Premium Salami (12/7), Specially Selected Pimento Stuffed
Olives (12/14), Southern Grove Candied Pecans (12/14). They even have a Specially Selected Charcuterie Board Kit (12/14) that includes dried fruit and nuts. All you need to add is the meat, cheese and crackers. The Park Street Deli Mediterranean Tapas Tray has different varieties of olives and cheese (12/21).

Mains

Traditionally, Italian-Americans celebrate Christmas Eve with a Feast of the Seven Fishes. December ALDI finds include several seafood specials. Specially Selected N. Atlantic Lobster Tails (12/7), Specially Selected Maryland or Boardwalk Style Crab Cakes (12/7), Pacific Seafood Dungeness Crab Snap ’n Eat (12/7), Fresh Stuffed Atlantic Salmon (12/7), Specially Selected Premium Shrimp Ring (12/14) and Specially Selected Bacon-Wrapped Scallops (12/14) will make easy contributions to your holiday dinner.
