According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instacart.com\/company\/data-trends\/-tis-the-season-whats-cooking-this-christmas\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.instacart.com\/company\/data-trends\/-tis-the-season-whats-cooking-this-christmas\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Instacart\" data-vars-ga-product-id=\"b60df097-0443-430c-b64a-63bec380a9c4\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-node-id=\"2.5\" class=\"body-link product-links css-1i7jlb0 emevuu60\">Instacart<\/a> data from last year, purchases of ribeye roasts skyrocketed 2,238% in the days before the holiday compared to the yearly average. Red meat was the move across the board: prime rib orders climbed 1,909%, and tenderloin roasts rose 898% in the two days leading up to Christmas.   <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">However, it wasn&#8217;t just main dishes filling carts at the last minute. On the sweet side, fruitcake, icing, and gingerbread cookies were popular, while corn, canned shrimp, and horseradish dominated the sides and apps. Dried anise also spiked\u2014no surprise, since you can use it in seasonal favorites like mulled wine, short ribs, and pizzelles.  <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\">\n<div class=\"css-p7qblm e1mlxuuw0\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"last minute christmas ingredients chart designed by instacart\" title=\"last minute christmas ingredients chart designed by instacart\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"876\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/1-top-ten-items-69372434c34e5.png?resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/1-top-ten-items-69372434c34e5.png?resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/1-top-ten-items-69372434c34e5.png?resize=980:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/1-top-ten-items-69372434c34e5.png?resize=980:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/1-top-ten-items-69372434c34e5.png?resize=980:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/1-top-ten-items-69372434c34e5.png?resize=980:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/1-top-ten-items-69372434c34e5.png?resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" data-dynamic-svg=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.delish.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/social\/pinterest.e8cf655.svg?primary=%2523ffffff\" loading=\"lazy\" data-testid=\"dynamic-svg-base\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" alt=\"pinterest\" class=\"css-4lml0h e1mlxuuw1\"\/><\/div>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-10bgxwr e1geg53v2\">Instacart<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">And about that divisive holiday beverage: eggnog. Love it or leave it, it&#8217;s still a staple in many U.S. households\u2014orders jump 1,244% on Christmas Eve. But that doesn&#8217;t mean all states hold it in equal regard. New England is the area where people are most inclined to crave some nog (hello, New Hampshire and Vermont), while Florida sits 61% below the national average as part of the anti-eggnog brigade.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Look, I get it\u2014eggnog isn&#8217;t for everyone.
