Find the delivery date for a ZIP code

Type in the ZIP code the basket is going to. The answer gives the first possible arrival day and the time left to order for it. An arrival on or before Thursday, December 24 makes it for Christmas; anything later calls for an earlier order, or a gift timed for the new year.

The courier delivers Monday to Friday. Same-day delivery covers only Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Hoboken, Jersey City and parts of the Los Angeles area.

Last order days for Christmas 2026

The Christmas baskets ordered most, by price

Each of the twelve gifts here was ordered for Christmas in two or more of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons. They are sorted by what those Christmas orders cost. No single basket pulled clearly ahead of the others, so none is ranked. Prices shown are today's.

Three Christmas seasons in figures

Orders placed with Yorkville's US store from November 1 to December 24 in 2023, 2024 and 2025, compared with all orders 2023–2025 where that adds something.

How to pick a Christmas basket

Six things the season's orders point to.

Wine is the Christmas favourite

35% of Christmas orders held wine, more than the 30% across all orders 2023–2025. The Christmas Wine Gift Basket Featuring Brie Cheese and Sweet Treats is one of the picks above, and the Christmas wine gift baskets hold the rest.

Spirits edge up in December

Whisky and other spirits went into 8% of Christmas orders, compared with 6% of all orders 2023–2025. The Luxury Liquor and Chocolates Gift Basket with Ice Ball Molds pairs liquor with chocolates; the Christmas liquor gift baskets have more.

Nobody 21 or older at home?

Alcohol needs an adult with photo ID to sign for it. The Medium Fresh Fruit Assortment Gift Basket with Red Liner ($65.99) and the Bruges Classic Chocolate Truffles Gift Basket ($64.99) contain none; the alcohol-free Christmas gift baskets have more choices.

Festive baskets win the last week

In the final seven days, 29% of orders were Christmas-themed baskets; across November, 4%. Late orders lean festive, so the Deluxe Gourmet Christmas Gift with Red Wine and Teak Cutting Board suits a last-week send.

Most people send one basket

96% of Christmas orders contained a single gift and 4% contained two or more. For a long list of recipients, the business section below explains the order form.

Weekend orders wait for Monday

13% of Christmas orders were placed on a Saturday or Sunday. Those go out by courier on Monday; same-day delivery, which runs only in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Hoboken, Jersey City and parts of the Los Angeles area, works through the weekend.

Business gifts for Christmas

Nearly half of Yorkville's Christmas orders come from businesses: 49%, against 38% across all orders 2023–2025. They also plan earlier. 50% of business Christmas orders were placed more than two weeks before December 25, and only 21% landed in the final week, compared with 32% of personal orders.

Christmas order questions

What is the last day to order for Christmas?

It depends on how long delivery takes to the ZIP code: Monday, December 21 for 3 business days, Tuesday, December 22 for 2 and Wednesday, December 23 for 1, each before that day's shipping cut-off, which the checker counts down. Same-day orders, only in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Hoboken, Jersey City and parts of the Los Angeles area, are taken until 11 a.m. local time on Thursday, December 24.

Is anything delivered on Christmas Day or at the weekend?

Nothing goes out on December 25, January 1 or Thanksgiving, November 26. The courier runs Monday to Friday; same-day delivery, only in the places listed above, also runs Saturday and Sunday up to December 24.

Does the recipient need ID for wine or champagne?

Yes. Wine, champagne and spirits are handed only to someone 21 or older with photo ID, so send it where an adult will be in. A basket without alcohol, such as the Medium Fresh Fruit Assortment Gift Basket with Red Liner, needs no ID.
