Around the holidays, celebrity chef and cookbook author Jake Smollett is constantly hosting friends and family for impromptu visits. Ever the gracious host, he stopped by ACME® Markets to make sure he had everything he needed to whip up easy treats for his crew — whenever they show up. With ACME for U™, Jake can shop and take advantage of his personalized deals right in the app. Then, with delivery or Drive Up & Go, he can get his order without waiting in long lines (or jockeying for that last bag of cranberries).

In his recent haul, Jake got three of his favorite freezer staples for quick and easy holiday bites: frozen fruit, frozen chocolate lava cakes, and frozen pastry dough. The fruit can be transformed into a quick pie, blended cocktail, or smoothie, while the lava cakes are dreamy right out of the oven with some hot cocoa. And pastry dough is the ultimate pinch hitter, ready to wrap up meats and cheeses or turn into pizza bites for a delicious appetizer.
