While we love shopping at Publix year-round, there’s something extra special about shopping there during the holiday season. Not only is everyone filling their shopping carts with holiday baking supplies and ingredients for Christmas dinner, but it also means it's time for the limited edition seasonal finds that we wait all year for. Once we see our favorite seasonal items, we scoop them up immediately for fear of not being able to find them later in the season.

Look for these editor-approved holiday finds during your next shopping trip to Publix to make your holiday season a little brighter.

1. Publix Premium Peppermint Stick Ice Cream

"I'm a stickler about waiting until after Thanksgiving to put up Christmas decorations, but I just can't wait until the holidays to buy Publix's Limited Edition Peppermint Stick Ice Cream," says Senior Homes and Features Editor Betsy Cribb Watson. "Instead I buy it as soon as I spy it on the freezer aisle in the fall."

2. Publix Deli Cranberry Goat Cheese Log

“My sister-in-law makes me bring home several Cranberry Goat Cheese Logs that she uses at all her holiday parties and enjoys throughout the season,” says Senior Digital Food Editor Kimberly Holland. “She gets so excited when I tell her they're back in stores.”

3. Publix Deli Cranberry Orange Relish

“My mom always buys their Cranberry Orange Relish from the deli section,” says Travel and Culture Editor Tara Massouleh McCay. “She couldn't find it one year and was very disappointed she had to get a can instead.”

4. Sister Schubert Rolls

“My mom always stocks up on Sister Schubert Rolls," says Digital Editor Kaitlyn Yarborough. “You can’t find them everywhere and they sell out!”

5. White Lily Flour

Many Southerners, including Yarborough’s mom, will only use White Lily Flour for their holiday baking. You’ll find it on the shelves at Publix, until it sells out so it’s best to buy a couple bags when you see it.

6. Raven's Nest Mulling Spices

“I always grab a pack or two of the Mulling Spices from Raven's Nest as soon as I see them at Publix,” says Digital Editor Jenna Sims. "I like that it can be used for both big batch and single servings so I can use them for entertaining or for just one cup to warm up on cool evenings."
