Yahoo Lifestyle These 6 food items always sell out at QVC during the holidays — snag them now
Fan-favorite treats like prime rib, fried chicken and New York-style bagels are perfect to have on hand for gifting and gatherings.
I recently saw a social media post that said "The hardest part of being an adult is figuring out what to cook for dinner every night for the rest of your life." I mean, can't we all relate? And we've only just scratched the surface with holiday gatherings so far. It's enough to make you want to fill your freezer with pre-made gourmet meals and desserts to give yourself a break. In fact, that's a great idea! But you have to place your order ASAP.
QVC's fan-favorite food items — think prime rib, chicken fried chicken and New York-style bagels, for starters — are in such high demand during the holiday season that they inevitably sell out well before Christmas. So if you want to snag some of these delicious, just-like homemade meals to keep on hand for effortless dinners or to give as gifts, now's the time, while they're fully stocked and some are even on sale. (New to QVC? You can score an extra $20 off your first order of $40 or more with code HOLIDAY20.)
I took my cue from the very honest and passionate QVC fans in my "Over 50 & Fabulous" group on Facebook and assembled a list of QVC's six most beloved food items. And, no surprise here, they also happen to be the foods that typically sell out first. Many of the items even arrive frozen, so it doesn't matter how far you buy them in advance — they'll be fresh and delicious when you or your loved ones are ready to enjoy them.
Let Kansas City Steak Co. take care of the Christmas main course while you focus on the sides. This unbearably juicy prime rib roast comes with a packet of seasoning and cooking instructions, so it won't be anything less than perfect.
In my Facebook group, they've declared this roast one of the best foods that QVC sells. "I bought this for Thanksgiving and oh my goodness — my family loved it. The seasoning was spot on. It was juicy and so tender. You didn’t really need the knife," raved a fan.
Could salmon be the perfect food? It's definitely possible. Salmon is delicious, versatile, hard to overcook and filled with skin- and heart-loving omega 3 fatty acids. And with these Egg Harbor filets that come with seasoning packets, it's effortless.
Serve 'em up as is or use them in salads, sandwiches, tacos — the sky (or the sea?) is the limit!
A native New Yorker in my Facebook group vouched for Just Bagels, and as a native New Yorker myself, I know that's saying a lot! This batch of 24 bagels —a mix of savory flavors like everything and onion, plus sweet flavors like cinnamon raisin and blueberry (or 24 plain) — has Christmas morning written all over it.
"These are not your supermarket bagels. these are authentic New York bagels. I am from the East Coast (was New Jersey, now in California) and I can attest that if you want an honest bagel, then you need these in your life!" a shopper wrote.
Heartland's chicken fried chicken is "so tender and ready in minutes in the air fryer," a fan writes on Facebook, and plenty of others back up her praise. But you can kinda tell just from the picture that these breaded chicken breasts and nuggets with gravy are going to be good.
There's plenty to go around, too. You'll get nine 5-oz chicken fried chicken breasts, 3-lbs chicken fried chicken nuggets and two gravy packets.
The words 'filet mignon' alone might be enough to rev up your taste buds, but this is not just any filet mignon; it's by Rastelli's, a famous QVC favorite. It's the kind of cut that'll melt in your mouth — and so will the butter and garlic seasoning it comes with.
Take it from this impressed foodie: "I seasoned it with the Rastelli’s seasoning and grilled on a charcoal grill. Could not have been more tender and delicious. I was apprehensive about the size at first, but it was perfect with a potato, salad and dessert. Since the filets are individually wrapped and vacuumed sealed, it makes it easy to pull out the quantity I need without having to thaw the whole box."
Been a little more naughty than nice this year? Eh, treat yourself anyway! These individually wrapped Pink Lady candy apples are the perfect dessert to hand out post-dinner, thanks to rich flavors and a pretty presentation.
They come coated with things like milk chocolate chip and peanut butter chip, red velvet crunch and milk chocolate chip with dark chocolate crunch and holiday sprinkles. "I have been eating these since I was a child myself," revealed one Facebooker.
