Hello, foodies…


Holiday planning can be stressful…but it doesn’t have to be! QVC’s motto this holiday is, "All the joy. None of the craziness." And we mean it. With a little pre-planning (and a hand from us), you really can have a stress-free holiday. And, you’ll finally have time to enjoy the spirit of the season!


Speaking of pre-planning, there’s not always time to make a scratch-made holiday meal for your family. This year, let us give you back the gift of time with a complete holiday menu you can order directly from QVC. From the holiday ham and savory sides down to that picture-perfect Christmas dessert, here’s a complete menu. No one will know you didn’t make everything yourself!
