Sam’s Club is one of the most popular destinations for all your holiday needs. Not only can you pick up gifts for everyone on your list, but you can also stuff your cart with all your holiday season essentials.
Luckily, there’s a way to nab everything you need from your favorite price club without having to don your Christmas hazmat suit. Sam’s Club is offering all shoppers curbside Pickup. You can conveniently shop online 24/7 without sacrificing the great deals that come with your membership. Just make sure to search for items marked “in club” while you’re shopping and select curbside Pickup at checkout. Rest easy knowing everything you need will be ready and waiting to be loaded in your car at your local Sam’s Club.
Still, even with the convenience of the internet, making sure you have absolutely everything you need for the season of giving, miracles, and Home Alone movie marathons can be an unforeseen chore. But don’t fret. We’ve made some handy lists for a myriad of holiday occasions so you won’t have to bother yourself with more than one trip.
Holiday baking essentials
Ask any professional pastry chef (or heck, grandma) what the secret to great holiday treats is, and dollars to donuts they’ll simply say, “butter.” Why settle with buying one pound at a time when you can save big by getting four pounds of Member’s Mark Sweet Cream Butter? That amounts to 16 sticks, which should be more than enough for batch after batch of sugar cookies, red velvet cakes, and any other holiday treats you’re inspired to make.
Speaking of cookies, there’s no shame in using a boxed mix, especially if it’s a quality one like the Betty Crocker Holiday Cookie Mix. One mix makes about 36 cookies, and since it’s a five pack you’ll have more than enough to make it through the holiday season. You may even have enough to make a care package or two for friends and family. Throw some Hershey Kisses and peanut butter into the mix for a variety of treats.
If you want to make holiday baking a breeze and treat yourself to an early Christmas gift, the KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus 5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer with Baker’s Bundle will spit out treats quicker than an army of Keebler Elves. Plus, it’s available in five gorgeous colors. Don’t forget the baking sheets and rolling pin!

Holiday movie night must-haves
In the age of streaming, binging a holiday movie marathon with the fam is too easy not to do. Whether you’re into new classics like Elf or silver-screen nostalgia trips like It’s A Wonderful Life, Sam’s Club has every manner of movie night snack to please kids from one to 92.
The ACT II Butter Lovers Microwave Popcorn 32-pack has enough popcorn to satisfy a small theater. Add the classic green and red M&M’s to your popcorn for a festively sweet and salty twist.

Movie night snacks don’t start and end with popcorn.
