From glazed ham to dessert showstoppers: Jones & Co Grocer Festive Food Guide has arrived
If you’ve ever swung open the fridge, checked the pantry, started writing the grocery list and then felt overwhelmed by it all, you’re not alone. Add Christmas to the mix and it’s beginning to feel a lot like stress. Offering a welcome reprieve is the arrival of Jones & Co Grocer’s Festive Food Guide 2026. So, dust off the ham carving knife and call the relatives, because it’s time to dig in …
From the moment we wake up to the time we rest our heads, we are faced with what feels like a million decisions: what to wear, what time to meet, what transport to take and, probably the most painful question of all, what to cook for dinner.
Tyrone and Leanne Jones know first-hand the importance of offering solutions to busy community members looking to shop local, without skimping on quality.
Now in its sixth edition, the Jones & Co Grocer’s Food Guide is helping households across South East Queensland combat decision fatigue ahead of the silly season.
The festive edition is stacked with everything needed to make this Christmas one to remember, with food, drink, snack and even gifting suggestions within one carefully curated brochure.
It offers the perfect guidance for those preparing the grand lunch or dinner feast, organising the Boxing Day snacks or searching for an alternative to mum’s ambitious turducken attempt from last year.
Expect to flip through more than 70 pages filled with culinary inspiration featuring products available straight off the Jones & Co Grocer shelves – including the in-store butchery, seafood selection, deli goods, Fromagerie and chef-prepared food.
The guide is also brimming with recipes designed to make Christmas Day a whole lot easier, and since Christmas calories don’t count, there’s plenty to tuck into. Think a perfectly glazed Christmas leg ham (and what on earth to do with all those leftovers), gourmet finds that add a little more oomph to a simple salad and unique dessert suggestions that will wow any party.
If you’re looking to impress your guests with a few fancy cocktails, you’ll find plenty of juicy inspiration within the pages too, from strawberry margaritas and Hugo spritz to a range of drinkware and garnishes available in-store.
