Growing up, did you have holiday traditions with Hickory Farms? I remember meats, and cheeses, on the table at family gatherings. We celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day with lots of food. A classic all over the United States, Hickory Farms is 60 years old. I bet there isn’t anyone who hasn’t heard of Hickory Farms, and has a “memory” with Hickory Farms woven into it.

Hickory Farms helps continue family traditions or start new ones

Holidays are about traditions, at least they are in my family. My kids already know Thanksgiving we go to Nana’s to celebrate with family. When Christmas Eve comes, they know we head to my sister’s house to spend the evening with cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents, and even their Nana-Nana (a.k.a. great grandmother.) We eat, we laugh, we give gifts, and we receive gifts. Our entire family centers every celebration around food, so of course, the start of any celebration means Hickory Farms!

Hickory Farms meats, and cheeses, deliciously smoked to perfection, make our holidays brighter. My daughter LOVES their Turkey Summer Sausage. After she’s done, I love that she emits this smoked turkey scented breath. I’m a huge fan of the Beef Summer Sausage, it’s got the little “kick” to it that I love.

Every, and all, cheese are a huge hit with me, and The Boy. I can hear the smoked Gouda calling to me……but, I have to stay strong for the holidays. I can’t break it out just yet…..I’ve already opened up the turkey summer and beef summer sausages, plus the Creamy Swiss blend cheese. I have to save the cheddar, Gouda and the final beef summer sausage for Thanksgiving. RATS!
