Inspired Holidays from Vons
I stumbled on some wonderful holiday inspiration in the most unexpected place the other day – my grocery store’s website! I was trying to figure out if something I needed was sold at a regular grocery store, so I went to the VONS website, spotted a little section called “Inspired Holidays“, clicked on it, and was greeted by a bunch of fantastic (and doable!) holiday projects and recipes! Here are a few favorites:
{pictured above} adorable Joyful Orange Bowls, Fragrant Cloved Oranges, and Holiday “Sushi” Candy (made from powdered donuts, twinkies, fruit roll-ups, jelly fish, etc.)
{pictured above} Festive Candy Ornaments and Fa-la-la-la Fruit Bouquet
{clockwise from top left} Festive holiday cocktails:
- Hot Gingered Pear-Wine Cider,
- Sparkling Cranberry Punch,
- Pomegranate Margaritas,
- Candy Cane Hot Chocolate (yum!).
Visit the Vons Holiday section and click on “Wine & Spirits” to get the full recipes!

The joyful orange bowls are TOO CUTE!
The candy sushi is darling! My niece will love that project! (and I’ll be destined to remain the favorite auntie!)
Oh goodness! I am having a brunch at my house on Saturday, and am totally going to try to make the fruit bouquet!!
the candy cane hot chocolate looks DE-LISH!
i loved the candied sushi, however, i book marked the page and now it comes up to a different webpage, any idea of the how i can get the recipe or ingredients again
hi magazine favs –
What a bummer that they took the holiday site down! I can’t believe it’s not archived somewhere on the vons.com site – I looked but can’t find it. The old URL looks like it forwards to the website of the company that had designed the holiday site for them.
Anyways, I WAS able to find a cached page on google. The images aren’t there, but the text still is, thank goodness! Here’s what it said:

HOLIDAY “SUSHI” CANDY
* Bakery pound cake
* Powdered mini donuts
* Marshmallows
* Fruit Streamers
* Fruit Roll-Ups
* Safeway Fruit Snacks
* Swedish Fish
Cut pound cake and mini donuts into sushi-sized pieces. Separate Streamers and make into a “roll.”
Wrap with Fruit Roll-Ups. Top with Fruit Snacks and Swedish Fish.
