6 gourmet supermarkets to buy turkey, ham, cheese and more for a perfect Christmas party

If you’re looking to splurge on one unforgettable night of great food and revelry, Swiss Butchery holds all the artisanal provisions you’d need. Indulge in a decadent surf and turf with premium cuts like the Matsusaka A5 beef, have it dry aged, then pair that with sashimi-grade scallops, monk fish or freshly shucked oysters. This Christmas, order a pecan crusted ham, new and exclusive to Swiss Butchery, or a full-bodied Beechwood smoked roast turkey. The turkeys are roasted fresh on the day of collection. Don’t forget to pick up some nougat and panettone as Christmas gifts.
