Hickory Farms helps you make Traditions Matter!

hickory-tradition

I am a strong believer in the importance of family traditions.  In my family, our holiday traditions are some of my favorites! One of my family’s holiday traditions growing up involved visiting the Hickory Farms store in our local mall to pick out treats for our holiday gatherings.  We always had beef summer sausage, cheese balls, and Melt Away Mints.  Now that I have a family of my own, we have continued the tradition and we always have Hickory Farms summer sausage with our fondue on New Year’s Eve!  Hickory Farms knows that traditions matter and they have been inspiring family traditions since 1951!

If you’ve got some last minute Christmas shopping to do, Hickory Farms offers a wide variety of food gifts that are PERFECT for any budget and everyone on your list this year!  You can’t go wrong with Hickory Farms Signature Summer Sausagewhich has been awarded the Masters of Taste Gold Medal for Superior Taste.   This year they’ve added a new treat:  White & Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark, which is a custom blend of creamy white chocolate and dark chocolate made from West African Cocoa beans, hand swirled with pure mint and topped with crushed candy cane pieces.  My family was provided with some to sample and it was AMAZING!  There’s even time to deliver your favorites by Christmas when you take advantage of overnight shipping!

According to a national survey, nearly half of American adults agree that the holiday shopping season officially starts when they see Hickory Farms arrive at their local mall.  When I was growing up, I remember going to the Hickory Farms store at our local mall with my parents to pick out our holiday treats!  We would always get Beef Summer Sausage and the Mini Melt Away Mints (which were my favorite!).  Many Americans have a distinct memory of Hickory Farms at their holiday gatherings.  Hickory Farms is very proud to be a part of those nostalgic moments and continues to focus on and celebrate its long heritage of tradition and authentic holiday memories.

Hickory Farms is America’s most famous holiday food gift brand, enjoyed by holiday shoppers seeking the perfect gifts for family and friends for over 60 years.  Now that I have a family of my own, we have continued to make Hickory Farms a part of our holiday traditions!  We have fondue every year on New Year’s Eve and always have the Beef Summer Sausage as a part of that!  I was not surprised at all to hear that Hickory Farms Signature Summer Sausage has been awarded the Masters of Taste Gold Medal for Superior Taste for having the #1 Summer Sausage in America.

This year, I received this Hickory Farms White & Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark from Hickory Farms to share with my family.  This product is brand new and it did not last long at all!  It’s a mix of white chocolate, dark chocolate that is hand swirled with mint and crushed candy canes.  How can you go wrong with those ingredients?  I enjoyed it by itself.  My kids tried it in their hot chocolate and said it was delicious.  It comes packaged in a box with a ribbon, so it would make a great gift for neighbors, too!

Now YOU have a chance to try this Hickory Farms Peppermint Bark, too!

When I think about the holidays, one of the things that I most look forward to is some of our family traditions like decorating the Christmas tree after Thanksgiving, visiting Santa, going to look at lights, and searching for the pickle ornament and opening up Christmas PJs on Christmas Eve!  Traditions matter because they are what ties families together!

Hickory Farms has been a part of my family’s traditions for MANY years!  Growing up, during the holidays, we always would visit the Hickory Farms kiosk in our local mall to pick up beef sausage sticks and cheese balls for our family gatherings.  Now that I am married and have a family of my own, one of our family traditions is to have fondue on New Year’s Eve.  We always make sure we have Hickory Farms summer sausage to serve with our cheese fondue.  Did you know that Hickory Farms Signature Summer Sausage was rated the #1 Summer Sausage in America, winning the Masters of Taste Gold Medal for Superior Taste, in 2011?  No wonder it tastes SO GOOD!

This year, make Hickory Farms a part of YOUR holiday traditions.  Hickory Farms offers a wide variety of specialty foods and gifts that are perfect for ANY budget!  For more than 60 years, they have been providing holiday shoppers with great options and since freshness and value are THEIR traditions, you can be sure that it will look great and taste delicious, too!

This year Hickory Farms is proud to introduce its first ever Signature Chocolate Collection. The one pound chocolate assortment offers the true taste of American confectionary craftsmanship. Each piece is cooked in small batches using the finest ingredients and paired with premium milk or dark chocolate.  The Hickory Farms Signature Chocolate Collection is available in select stores, from the catalogue and online at HickoryFarms.com.

I love the Hickory Farms brand because they support charitable causes, too!  They support Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign each year.  This is the leading non-profit organization working to end childhood hunger in America by 2015.  To date, they have raised more than $3.3 million for this worthy cause and have helped provide funding for summer meal programs, emergency food assistance, nutrition education, holiday charitable giving and long-term solutions for families in need.  For each Party Planner gift box sold this holiday season, Hickory Farms will donate $5 to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry. Campaign.  Hickory Farms also has 5 products that they offer free shipping to military APO and FPO addresses, including the “Festive Cheese Sampler” gift basket and “Beef Hearty Hickory” basket.

For more than 60 years Hickory Farms gifts have been a classic holiday tradition that brings family and friends together.  As a child, I can remember visiting the Hickory Farms kiosk at our local mall during the holidays to get cheese balls, beef sticks, and Melt Away Mints for our annual New Year’s Eve gathering.   We have continued this tradition in our family and we love to serve the Hickory Farms summer sausage with cheese fondue on New Year’s Eve.  Many Americans have a distinct memory of Hickory Farms at their holiday gatherings and Hickory Farms is very proud to be a part of those nostalgic moments and continues to focus on and celebrate its long heritage of tradition and authentic holiday memories.  Hickory Farms not only embraces passing down traditions through generations of families, but also creating new traditions and sharing them with loved ones.

This year, my family received the Beef & Turkey Hickory Sampler pictured above!  I actually had to hide it when it first arrived because I knew that it would be gone before I had a chance to review it if my family got ahold of it!

This sampler pack includes the following items:

  • Turkey Summer Sausage
  • Beef Summer Sausage
  • Smoked Gouda Blend
  • Sweet Hot Mustard
  • Golden Toasted Crackers

The Gouda mixed with the summer sausage on crackers is so, so GOOD!  This is a perfect gift for neighbors and is great for family gatherings, too!

Hickory Farms and holidays go hand in hand!  When I was growing up, I remember that my family would always visit the Hickory Farms store at our local mall to stock up for our holiday gatherings.  Since I have such fond memories of Hickory Farms and think so highly of the company, I was thrilled when they asked me to partner with them to get the word out about their products!

If you’re still looking for that perfect gift for the person who has EVERYTHING, consider a Hickory Farms gift basket!  Hickory Farms offers a variety of specialty foods and holiday food gifts that are perfect for any budget and for everyone on your list this year. It’s a name that you can trust and quality and freshness are important to them!  Hickory Farms isn’t just for the holidays, either!  My husband has a January birthday, and I always struggle with ideas for birthday gifts since his birthday is so close to Christmas.  A few years ago, I surprised him with a Hickory Farms gift basket, and he loved it (although it didn’t last very long!).

This year Hickory Farms has introduced a line of new products called Hickory Farms Reserve. The collection features their premium Dry Aged Salami and 8 all-natural cheeses!  You can’t go wrong with favorites like their Hickory Farms Signature Summer Sausage either!  It was recently rated the #1 Summer Sausage in America and I understand why!  I know it is one of my favorites!
