These are the most popular last-minute Christmas purchases

What’s on Santa’s Instacart shopping sleigh? The grocery delivery platform is revealing the most popular last-minute Christmas purchases that peaked on Christmas Eve last year.

Christmas is just around the corner, and many people are preparing to host gatherings for the holidays.

Still, countless Americans appear to delay the inevitable grocery shopping spree until the last minute.

Instacart, the grocery delivery and pick-up platform, has unveiled shopping data on the most popular last-minute Christmas items that are bought based on the company's peak sales from Christmas Eve 2022.

"While the holiday season can be one of the most joyous times of the year, it can also be one of the most stressful and chaotic times," said Laurentia Romaniuk, Instacart trend expert. "We surveyed Americans to find out what was among their least favorite parts about prepping for the holidays and found that shopping for gifts and wrapping gifts (27% for each) ranked highly."

Instacart's data reveals that the top five food and drink items with peak sales being on Christmas Eve 2022 were cookie dough, followed by hot cocoa mix, cheesecake, liqueurs and red blend wine.
