Enjoying holiday meals with families is one of the most important things of the holiday and with the majority of people planning to entertain 7 or more people, Walmart’s fresh and affordable holiday meals help those entertaining eliminate at least part of the stress associated with holiday entertaining.
Walmart has come up with two great deals: Christmas Dinner for Eight for only $30 and a New Year’s Eve party for 10 for under $40. Who can’t use budget friendly help like this during the holidays?!
Walmart's Christmas Dinner for Eight under $30 provides all the ingredients necessary for a traditional meal, including a 10-lb Spiral Cut Half Ham, three cans of Del Monte green beans, one 10-lb bag of russet potatoes, Sara Lee dinner rolls, and a pumpkin pie. The New Year's party basket for 10 for under $40 includes a Shrimp Tray, Vegetable Tray, Hillshire Farms Little Smokies, Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, Land O'Lakes Egg Nog, and a Red Velvet cake.
If you’re in need of some new and fresh ideas and recipes, Walmart has teamed up with Aarón Sánchez of Food Network to share some cooking tips, recipes and unique ideas he’s created with Walmarts basket of holiday and New Year’s Ingredients.

I'll just be making a nice dinner for my family this year. We prefer relaxing together rather than having parties or entertaining in any big way.
This holiday season my only entertaining is having neighbors over.
Having veggies, chips with dip.
BBQ cocktail weinies and guests bringing the rest.
Pretty easy.
We are going to our parents' homes to see family so since we aren't hosting anything we are baking and bringing lots of cookies!
Thanks!

My door is always open to friends and family! I love it when folks stop by for a visit and end up staying for dinner or cocktails and snacks. But aside from that, I'm hosting our family's annual Christmas morning breakfast at my house this year so this gift card will sure come in handy!!

So many family members and friends have cut back this year including us. Everyone will come to our house to celebrate but we have asked everyone to contribute in some way to help with the food and drinks.
I'm keeping it simple this year. Just my hubby and our two young daughters and my two adult daughters and their hubbys and children.

I love having everyone over for goodies and open presents.

Won't be having a big family get-together until January-- probably will just have veggies, cheeses, meat, crackers, soup, etc.

Well I don't entertain because my grandmother has dinner on christmas eve and the family goes there for dinner and presents and then we go to my mom's on christmas day for dinner and presents. Maybe one day I'll get to do it at my house when they don't feel like doing it anymore, lol. Thanks.
We've organized a get-together with friends and neighbors in our condo.
I plan to be at my daughter's for Christmas but this weekend we had the
family over for lunch.
We had a nice time relaxing.
At home with my husband and son.
I will be at my mother-in-law's house for Christmas.
