Christmas Fruit Baskets

Christmas fruit baskets suit families and offices that would rather share a gift than display one. The Grand Holiday Gourmet and Fruit Basket is hand packed with fruit, cookies, crackers, sausage and cheeses, and it ships by carrier, not with a florist.

One basket can feed a crowd. The guide covers what's inside, the sizes and how shipping works.

Sending Christmas fruit baskets

What's in the basket

A whole pineapple sits at the center, surrounded by grapefruit, oranges, apples and pears, with cookies, crackers, sausage and artisan cheeses tucked around the fruit and a bright red bow on top. Winter citrus and crisp orchard fruit are holiday basket classics, and the pineapple makes it look generous from across the room. It comes in Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large, so you can size it for one household or a busy office. See our other fruit baskets for more choices.

How carrier shipping works

Because this basket ships by carrier, it is never same-day, and the delivery estimate appears at checkout. Deliveries to hospitals, hotels and colleges go to the mail room or receiving desk, and dates can't be guaranteed for PO boxes or military addresses. For holiday fruit baskets, ordering well before December 25 gives you the most breathing room.

Christmas fruit basket questions

Is a fruit basket a good Christmas gift?

Yes, especially for a group. A family, a team or a client's office can share it over several days, and fruit suits people who already have plenty of decorations. With sausage, cheese and crackers inside, it also doubles as a ready-made snack spread for a holiday open house.

When should I order Christmas fruit basket delivery?

About a week before December 25 is a sensible target. Carrier timing depends on the address, so treat the estimate at checkout as your guide, and remember peak holiday weeks can occasionally slow things down. If time is short, look at our Christmas flowers, which a local florist delivers.

How should the recipient store a fruit and gourmet basket?

Unpack it soon after it arrives. Check the labels on the sausage and cheese and refrigerate anything that calls for it, keep citrus and apples somewhere cool, and let firm pears ripen on the counter. Our shipping policy explains how carrier deliveries work.
