Tips for making it a season to remember
The holidays are the perfect time to try something new and serve up something special. M&M Food Market's new holiday line-up offers delectable, crowd-pleasing flavours that are sure to satisfy guests at your table this holiday season. Here are a few ideas to inspire your upcoming festivities.
Fantastic New Tastes
Add a bit of spice to your bite-size offerings with new M&M Food Market Sriracha Chicken Wings, covered in a lip-smacking, exclusive sriracha glaze. Or, add a classic to your holiday menus - New Fried Battered Mushrooms have a delightfully crispy batter and are perfect for dipping, skewering or serving on the side.
No time to bake from scratch? No problem. M&M Food Market's line-up of new holiday desserts are made with care using quality ingredients and exclusive recipes, so you can be sure they will have a great homemade taste.
Are there cake lovers in your family? Celebrate the season with new M&M Chocolate Cheesecake – a genuine New York cheesecake made with real cream and lots of chocolate. The new Festive White Yule Log makes a fantastic impression – it is hand rolled and features vanilla sponge cake around white chocolate mousse and raspberries, all covered in a rich glaze. For a sampling of mini sweets, try the new Chocolate Enrobed Pralines and Cream Cheesecake Bites or individual-portion Caramel Sea Salt Cakes that will melt in your mouth with their creamy caramel sauce.

All with no fees and no minimum order required.
"It's no secret Canadians are busy during the holidays, and no one wants to spend more time preparing for the holidays than actually enjoying them," says Andy O'Brien, CEO, M&M Food Market. "We're excited that our Click & Collect program, which originally launched eight years ago, has become such a helpful and convenient way for our customers to shop online and stock up on all their holiday favourites, so they can spend more time with friends and family."

The newly renovated stores (if there isn't one in your city already, there may be one coming soon!) and a refreshed in-store concept further simplify the shopping experience for M&M customers. The new store concept organizes products by category to make shopping easy, and features re-designed packaging to show off the products inside.
