The holidays are approaching and although it's a magical time of the year, it can also be the most stressful one.  With almost half of Canadians preparing to entertain 10 or more people this holiday season, Canadians can find themselves struggling to balance the time spent in the kitchen making meals, with the time spent with family and friends, making memories.

Hosting these gatherings can take a lot of time and energy. According to a recent survey conducted by President's Choice, 62 percent of Canadians would rather spend less time prepping, and more time enjoying.  Now more than ever, we want our holiday meals deliciously simple.

"We know Canadians are looking to the President's Choice brand to help them make meals and memories this holiday season," said Kathlyne Ross, vice president of product development and innovation at Loblaw Cos. Ltd.  "The PC Insiders Collection does just that with mouthwatering morsels, like our new PC Meringata, that are simple to prepare and guaranteed to be crowd-pleasers at any party."

Canadians look to President's Choice, one of Canada's most trusted brands, for something new to serve and enjoy over the holidays.  This year there is a wide variety of new products, as well as a collection of 17 Must-Try and Must-Have items that compose the PC Insiders Collection.  From delicious appetizers that you pop in the oven to sweet treats that you simply place on a platter, there are many easy-to-serve options to serve guests, allowing more time for the things that really matter.
