Convenience remains a priority for holiday hosts, and Walmart’s private-brand offerings are designed to help simplify meal preparation.
“You don’t have to make everything from scratch to put together a spread your guests will love,” said Denise Wright, vice president of private brands for food at Walmart. “Set out a couple of appetizers for everyone to enjoy while dinner finishes cooking, and incorporate easy side dishes to make the day a little easier.”
