Sam's Club Announces Eighth Annual Holiday Sampling Event

Hand-cut USDA choice beef and boneless spiral hams will be among the featured products that will be sampled at the eighth annual Holiday Taste of Sam's Club, a nationwide event that offers Sam's Club members and guests the opportunity to sample a wide variety of gourmet foods, preview cooking demonstrations and take part in holiday decoration workshops.

“The Holiday Taste of Sam's Club event is a great way to kick-off the holiday season to try delicious favorites and new recipes from Sam's Club, while taking part in live cooking and decorating demonstrations," said Shawn Baldwin, SVP of fresh, freezer and cooler at the club store subsidiary of Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. "The tastings will offer something for everyone, from gourmet appetizers and entrees to fresh fruits, vegetables and locally prepared desserts."

This year's Holiday Taste of Sam's Club event will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Nov. 19, 20 and 21 at more than 600 Sam's Club locations across the country. The event will feature nearly 50 menu items, totaling more than 500,000 pounds of food, served during the three-day event.

Shoppers will be able to sample the best flavors of the season, from hand-cut USDA choice beef and boneless spiral hams to delectable appetizers, premium side dishes and elegant desserts.

Additionally, Sam's Club will host a Trim-A-Tree demonstration workshop for members to learn affordable and creative decorating tips on personalizing their trees and homes for the holidays.

The first Sam's Club opened its doors in Midwest City, Okla., in 1983. Today, Sam's Club serves more than 47 million U.S. Members with locations nationwide, as well in Brazil, China and Mexico.
