PURCHASE, N.Y. and QUINCY, Mass., Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Stop & Shop Supermarket Company LLC is helping customers save both time and money this holiday season with entertaining and food-related gift ideas at all of their stores. From holiday roast suggestions to one-of-a-kind products at affordable prices and ready-made party trays for time-crunched customers, Stop & Shop is your one-stop shop no matter the festive occasion.

For many, the centerpiece of one's holiday table is a roast. Even Dr. Seuss' The Grinch enjoyed the roast beast! This month Stop & Shop is featuring a wide breadth of holiday roasts from ham, pork, lamb and beef to cater to any budget and taste. New this year, Stop & Shop is offering Boneless NY Strip Roasts and has developed plenty of savory preparation ideas available both in-store and at www.stopandshop.com. For customers unsure of the best way to carve a roast, Stop & Shop also put together a video tutorial offering techniques available here http://youtu.be/18CUNQvUY1E.

Stop & Shop is once again helping shoppers create memorable holiday meals with its exclusive Simply Enjoy brand. This collection of gourmet food items is back this season with even more new products that are all foodie approved and made with the finest ingredients. Stop & Shop works with specialty suppliers who hand-craft their items to bring customers a unique selection not typically found in the traditional supermarket. Featured Simply Enjoy products this holiday include frozen appetizers and desserts, deli pastas, seafood sauces, dipping oils, sorbetto/gelato, chocolates, hummus, crackers and sparkling sodas to name just a few. Customers can also pick up a free Simply Enjoy Memorable Menu Ideas booklet at any Stop & Shop store for recipes, entertaining ideas featuring the Simply Enjoy products, and valuable coupons. Simply Enjoy products also make a great gift for the foodie or hostess on your list.

For customers who may need an extra hand, Stop & Shop makes party preparation easy with a selection of Great Entertaining party trays, fully prepared dinners, desserts and more all available to order.

Stop & Shop also recently launched its new Recipe Center at http://stopandshop.com/recipes-and-meals/recipe-center with more than 2,500 every day and special occasion recipes. Fresh content is added weekly and all recipes are made even more affordable by utilizing sale items and Stop & Shop's Own Brand products. How-to videos and nutrition information are also available.
