Your Holiday Pie Game Plan
Idaho pie shops tend to sell out fast during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. Here are a few tips to stay ahead:
- Order early. Many shops cut off holiday orders 1–2 weeks before major gatherings.
- Plan for pickup days. Holiday pickup lines can get long—arrive early, bring a cooler, and enjoy the festive chaos.
- Try a mix of flavors. Crowd favorites include pumpkin, pecan, apple, huckleberry, and bourbon-inspired treats.
- Consider shipping. For friends and family far away, Piedaho ships pies that double as stunning gifts.
