What does your family's Christmas dinner traditionally look like? You probably have a clear picture in your head, and maybe your stomach starts rumbling just thinking about it. And I am sure it is different from mine, the next person's, and the next.
We all have our favorite holiday meal essentials, those dishes we look forward to the entire year. Many try to switch things up a bit from the Thanksgiving meal the month before, while others are content to eat basically the same dinner all over again.
No matter what your beloved Christmas dinner traditions are, Aldi can help you fill the table for less. They carry everything you need to pull off a festive, delicious holiday meal your guests will love.

While most stores begin their sales and weekly specials on Thursday, or even Friday, Aldi's new ad comes out every Wednesday, making it hands down the best day to shop.
If you've never been to an Aldi on Wednesday morning, there are usually superfans lined up, waiting for the doors to open. They know the greatest sales, like 99-cent per pound chicken, will go quickly, and they don't want to miss out!
These Aldi superfans also know Wednesday is when new Aldi Finds are released. The new seasonal and specialty products that tend to go viral hit the shelves on a different Wednesday of the month, and when they are gone, that's it, so waiting is not an option!

I will never judge anyone for taking a little help from the store to get a big meal (or a small meal) on the table. Boxed potato mixes have come a long way over the past several years, and I can attest to the deliciousness of Aldi's brand. Made with real potatoes and swimming in a cheddar and blue cheese sauce, this side dish in a box is a real time-saver. Jazz them up a little with fresh herbs and extra shredded cheese to make them a little fancier.
