Mincemeat is a traditional holiday pie filling. I understand it is something not everyone likes, but I was surprised at how much trouble I had finding a store with the filling.
Walmart will ship it to you. And my regular grocery store chain's website lists it, but they don't have it in the store. It was amusing seeing the employees checking for me, and genuinely being surprised that they aren't stocking it this year. They do have literally pallets of pumpkin pie filling on display.
I grew up with pumpkin and mincemeat pies for the holidays, always the frozen kind that you bake at home as my mom worked full time and did not have time to make them from scratch.
My wife usually makes a pumpkin and a dutch apple from scratch, but with just two of us this year, it will just be dutch apple. Her mother always insisted on brining a Marie Calendar Chocolate Silk pie. Or chocolate SALT pie as we used to call it.\
Are you having any trouble finding any of your holiday food items?
