How do UFCW members make the holidays happen? Oh let us count the ways:<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

1. Sweets<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

This is the bakery dept at store 649 in Manahawkin NJ  and they are making the sweetness happen! They and other talented UFCW bakers make holiday pies, cookie trays, and all those sweet things we can’t resist. Thanks, guys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

2. The Feast of the Seven Fishes<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

The Feast of the Seven Fishes is an Italian-American Christmas Eve tradition. Visit the hard-working UFCW members at the meat counters of your local Safeway, Albertsons, Kroger, or other union grocery stores and they can help you put together a traditional seven fishes meal of anchovies, whiting, lobster, sardines, eels, squid, octopus, mussels, or other tasty seafood. They’ve got your shrimp cocktail covered, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

3. Ham! Turkey!<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Not only do UFCW members work the deli counter and help you find the perfect star for your holiday feast, but classics like Butterball turkeys and Smithfield hams are made by UFCW meat-packing members.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

4. Christmas trees made from cupcakes<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

I know we already put sweets on this list, but this Christmas tree made of cupcakes was too good to pass over. Thank you, UFCW members, for making that happen. It’s like two of the best holiday things combined. That’s some holiday magic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

5. Green Stuff<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

If you are like us and have been eating nothing but cookies and cakes for days, don’t worry. Vegetables do still exist and UFCW members are always happy to help you find the freshest, healthiest greens for whenever you’ve run out of pie and are ready to start on those New Year’s resolutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
