Christmas favorites, by price

Each of these eleven baskets was bought as a Christmas gift in at least two of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons. They are grouped by today's price, and each heading gives the share of Christmas orders that came to that range. Two of them stayed clearly in front of the others over the three seasons, so they carry a rank; the rest are shown unranked.

How to choose

Six pointers drawn from three seasons of Christmas orders.

Wine leads the season

Wine went into 47% of Christmas orders, above the 38% across all orders 2023–2025. The Two-Bottle Wine Gift Basket with Artisanal Cheese and Gourmet Snacks was the most-ordered Christmas gift of the three seasons; the wine gift baskets hold the full choice.

Something sparkling

Champagne and sparkling wine appeared in 13% of Christmas orders, a little below the 16% across all orders 2023–2025. The Christmas Sparkling Wine Gift Box with Gourmet Cheese and Mustard is this guide's sparkling pick; the champagne gift baskets offer more.

Baskets without alcohol

For someone who doesn't drink, or an address where nobody 21 or older will be in to show photo ID: the Gourmet Collection Gift with Artisanal Snacks and Bamboo Cutting Board ($85.99), the Festive Gourmet Christmas Holiday Gift Tray ($162.99) and the Christmas Gourmet Basket with Chocolates and Cookies ($54.99) hold no wine or spirits. The chocolate gift baskets are another route.

Beer and spirits

Beer went into 9% of Christmas orders, against 7% across all orders 2023–2025; the Classic Beer Gift Basket with Brewery Wooden 24-Pack Box is the beer pick here. Whisky and other spirits are in the liquor gift baskets.

One basket, or a whole list

96% of Christmas orders held a single basket. Sending to more than ten people? The corporate order form below handles a list in one go.

Weekend orders wait for Monday

13% of Christmas orders were placed on a Saturday or Sunday. The courier runs Monday to Friday, so those baskets leave on Monday; in the last week before Christmas, a weekday order placed by 2 p.m. leaves that day.

Business gifts for clients and staff

Companies sent 30% of Christmas orders, compared with 25% across all orders 2023–2025, and they plan earlier: 46% of business Christmas orders went in more than two weeks before December 25, and 30% in the final week, against 38% of other orders. Philadelphia Baskets takes 10% off orders of five or more gift baskets.
