  1. susan odonnell says

    I would serve this to my family on Christmas Eve. We all play board games on Christmas Eve

  5. Mattonna says

    I would serve it on Christmas with family in celebration and memory of my father in law.

    My husband and I used to buy and send Hickory Farms gift boxes to my father in law, what else do you get the man who has everything – except his Marine son home for the holiday. Dad loved getting them and always made some big goofy photo with them he would send us. We lost Dad to pancreatic cancer last month- very sudden, very unexpected so this is the first Christmas without him. As a memorial, we are planning to buy his favorites and they will be there for him, even though he will not get to eat them.

  8. Mrs H says

    YES! I am praying my husband gets leave to come home for the holidays … I will serve this the night he gets home!!!!!

  23. Kathy Earls says

    I would serve this at our family Christmas cookie exchange. It’s always full of memories and Hickory Farms would drum up some old ones too!!!!

  25. Robin VerCande says

    I would serve this at our family Christmas party which also happens to be New Year’s Eve. Summer Sausage is something we always have for hors d’oeuvres at our Christmas party. It would be great to serve a whole platter of Hickory Farms’ goodies!!!

  26. Lisa says

    I would serve these at our “tasting party” at church the weekend before Christmas. We have our Christmas drama/musical and then everyone goes down stairs to share their favorite Christmas snacks! Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

  40. Anne Leth says

    We have appetizers and drinks Christmas eve and this would go really well with our little party!!

  42. becca h says

    This would be great as a snack at my grandmothers when everyone comes to help with holiday candy

  57. Amanda Billingsley says

    I like the Hickory Farms gift boxes at home. I can make my own lunchables for the kids lunches. But it is also great for holiday parties, or as gift giving.

  79. crystal g says

    I would get it where ever i can and serve it to the family on christmas eve as we watch christmas movies.

  85. Misty says

    I would serve it just on a regular old day. No need to save all the good stuff for the same day. I’ve got to spread it around!

  100. Anne M. says

    Christmas Eve…we always get the munchies but are saving the “good stuff” for Christmas day.

  113. Jessica R says

    I would love to serve this Christmas Eve. My brother in law is coming home from Iraq and he loves Hickory Farms!!

  121. Brenda says

    I’d be quite happy to serve one at all three times. It would be perfect at a Christmas party, Christmas day, and just as a snack in the evenings. If I had to chose one I would chose to serve Hickory Farms at a party. That’s the great thing about Hickory Farms though, their products are great for just about any occassion.

  124. Patti Pease says

    Last year I didn’t have my whole family together. This year, I will. I would serve the basket on Christmas Eve with everyone that I love.

  126. Debbee Reed says

    I would serve it at our annual Christmas Eve “white elephant” gift exchange. Started 10 years ago, it is something that brings us together for laughs and cherished memories of those we have lost.

  129. Bethany D says

    I’m pretty sure I would not serve it to anybody but keep it for myself .. yep I’m selfish about my Hickory Farms tasties 🙂

  133. mstaes says

    I would bring to our holiday bunco party. It’s a great time to celebrate friends, have fun, roll dice and eat. The variety would please everyone.

  134. Gloria Monroe says

    Oh Mattonna, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your father in Law, I have you and your family in my prayers! God Bless!

    I hope you win this!

    Wishing you A Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

  135. Christina says

    I would serve this on Christmas Eve … we host our family gathering and have a bunch of people coming and going all night!

  140. Tonya says

    I would love to serve this up on my appetizer table Christmas Day. It would be a wonderful addition to all of the treats.

  141. Karen B says

    I would serve this Hickory Farms Party Planner box with friends at a holiday party! It looks wonderful.

  148. Michelle Fiscus says

    Hickory Farms can be served anywhere but it is best shared with family and friends. It has always made a nice hostess gift at a party, etc. Love, love, love Hickory Farms!

  166. ali says

    I would serve it to the men and women at the fire department my dad and boyfriend work. Just a small way of saying thank you for always being ready!

    I would serve Hickory Farms at my work Christmas party. Who doesnt like sausage and cheese??? 🙂

  219. shirley g says

    A Hickory Farms Gift box would be perfect to snack on after church service on Christmas Eve with our family. We always build a fire, turn on 24 hours of “The Christmas Story” and just serve snacks and enjoy one another’s company.

  221. Danyelle says

    I’d serve this at our family gathering on Christmas eve. We have a nice dinner, watch Christmas movies, play games and just enjoy each other’s company.

  230. rose says

    I would use it for Christmas parties and I think we are hosting a New Year’s party so this would be perfect.

  261. Brandina says

    I’d take the Party Planner to my parents for us to snack on while we open gifts. The Home for the Holidays box would be enjoyed at home with my boyfriend and son while we enjoy the couple of days we have off of work and school

  273. Liz Zimmerman says

    I would serve at Christmas when I do my “center-island” display of food for snacks for the family coming to visit-buffet style!

  276. tess botelho says

    My dad has one of these. They are awesome! My problem is that receipts fade over time. This would help me preserve receipts for tax & warranty purposes. I also think it might be a great way to track & organize my mail in rebates.

  279. lori says

    i get your email updates and would love to serve some Hickory Farms at a get together with my friends

  282. Beth says

    I would actually bring this as a hostess gift to a friend’s party on Christmas Eve that we go to every year. Thank you

  294. Kristy says

    I would serve this on Christmas Day since we are hosting. My Dad loves Hickory Farms products so he would be in heaven 🙂

  308. Shari says

    I think I’d serve it on Christmas Day when my brother and his family came over for our present exchange. We always try to have little finger foods, and this would be a great addition!

  327. Julie says

    I would serve this as an appetizer on Christmas day before our dinner. My whole family is coming here so this would be perfect!

  331. Jennifer Johnson says

    I would serve it on Christmas Eve. My family always gets together for game night and we just eat munches, so this would be perfect!

  336. Melinda J. says

    A tasty snack to the family maybe on New Year’s Eve/Day in honor of my Dad who loved Hickory Farms!

  340. Terry says

    We take a trip in January for our anniversary and always take Hickory Farms sausage and cheese to munch on.

  356. Patricia Pattie says

    I would serve this at our Christmas party this year.. It will be the last year with my little brother before he goes to serve on food missions in India! These are my family’s favorite! we love the summer sausage the most 🙂

  375. Delphie says

    I would serve it Christmas Eve/// my sister, neice and mom come over and we exchage presents and get ready for Santa!

  376. Nikolette B says

    I would serve one at each side of the family that I will be going to at Christmas this year. Or maybe I would keep one for myself to eat as a snack at home 🙂

  404. HeatherAnne says

    I’m having a casual get together with friends the week between Christmas and New Years so I’d save it to serve then.

  411. Delene says

    I don’t think I’d get to serve it before my husband and kids gobbled it all up, but I would try to serve it at a dinner party.

  421. Amanda says

    I would serve this on Christmas Day when my family gets together and hope there are leftovers for me.
