Sumner, WA – The holidays may seem far off, but retailers are already making key decisions about the products that will drive sales during the busiest season of the year. Antonina’s Gluten-Free Bakery is helping stores prepare by relaunching its limited-time seasonal muffins, bringing festive flavors to their bakery sets. Known for its great-tasting, high-quality baked goods, Antonina’s continues to prove that going gluten-free doesn’t mean sacrificing taste.
And while holiday desserts often steal the spotlight, breakfast and brunch are just as important for family gatherings, entertaining, and seasonal celebrations. Consumers are looking for easy, premium options to serve guests without extra prep time, making grab-and-go baked goods a major opportunity for retailers.
With gluten-free consumption growing at over 10% CAGR, more shoppers are seeking high-quality baked goods for breakfast and brunch, making it a prime sales opportunity for retailers to capture additional purchases.
“The holiday season is a crucial time for in-store bakeries, as shoppers seek convenient, high-quality options to share with family and friends,” said Robert Kidd, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Antonina’s Gluten-Free Bakery. “Breakfast and brunch are growing sales drivers during the holidays, and our seasonal muffins offer retailers a premium, ready-to-sell solution that meets the increasing demand for gluten-free while delivering the indulgent flavors consumers expect.”
Antonina’s seasonal muffins are an easy way for shoppers to elevate their holiday mornings, whether they’re setting up a breakfast tray, curating a brunch spread, or simply enjoying a cozy coffee moment. Merchandising these items near coffee stations or holiday meal displays can help drive impulse purchases and increase basket sizes.
