Corporate Holiday Gift Order Dates 2026
The short answer: for 2026, Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, Hanukkah begins at sundown on Friday, December 4, and Christmas is Friday, December 25. You don't need to order weeks ahead, even for 100 or more baskets. In South Florida, order before 2 in the afternoon on a weekday and we'll hand-deliver it that day. For shipped gifts, the date you pick is the day the gift leaves us, so count back. For a gift to land by Friday, December 18, pick Friday, December 11 for ground, Wednesday, December 16 for 2-day or Thursday, December 17 for overnight.
What are the 2026 holiday dates for corporate gifts?
| Holiday | 2026 date | Day of the week |
|---|---|---|
| Thanksgiving | November 26 | Thursday |
| Hanukkah | Begins at sundown December 4, ends December 12 | Friday to Saturday |
| Christmas | December 25 | Friday |
| New Year's Day | January 1, 2027 | Friday |
We don't deliver locally on Saturdays or holidays. Christmas and New Year's Day both fall on a Friday this year, so plan local gifts for the weekdays before each one.
How far ahead do you need to order corporate gifts?
You don't need to order weeks ahead, even for a list of 100 or more baskets. That comes straight from our owner, Michael Briansky. In December 2025 we packed a single order of 451 baskets. Logo chocolate is the one thing that takes extra days.
| Your list | How to order | How far ahead |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 9 gifts | Order at thesweettooth.com and pick each date at checkout | Whenever you're ready |
| 10 or more gifts, including lists of 100 or more | Email one spreadsheet to orders@thesweettooth.com | No need to order weeks ahead |
| Any gift with your logo on the chocolate | Order Your Design, Chocolate Dipped Oreos and send your design | 5 to 7 business days after you send your design |
We start making a corporate order once it is paid.
How do you pick a date so gifts arrive on time?
For local delivery and pickup, the date you pick is the day the gift arrives. For shipping, it is the day the gift leaves us. Everything we ship goes by UPS.
| Option | Where | How the date works | When to use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local hand delivery | Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, within 50 miles of our store | Delivery day. Order before 2 in the afternoon on a weekday and we'll deliver it that day. | Any South Florida office. Sundays yes, Saturdays and holidays no. |
| Overnight shipping | Most of the U.S. | Ship day. Arrives the next business day. | When time is short or the weather is warm |
| 2-day shipping | All 50 states | Ship day. Arrives in 2 business days. | Warm places. Our ice packs and insulation protect the chocolate for up to two days. |
| Ground shipping | All 50 states | Ship day. Arrives in 3 to 5 business days. | Only where it's below 68°F |
| Store pickup | Our store | Pickup day. Free. | When you'd rather carry the gifts yourself |
Here is the count-back for one date. In the 2025 holiday season, most of our corporate deliveries landed between December 8 and December 18, so this example uses Friday, December 18:
| Option | Date to pick |
|---|---|
| Ground shipping | Friday, December 11 |
| 2-day shipping | Wednesday, December 16 |
| Overnight shipping | Thursday, December 17 |
| Local hand delivery | Friday, December 18 |
UPS sets the arrival day, so we can't promise an exact arrival date for a shipped gift. In the busy weeks of December, leave a day of room.
When did corporate holiday orders come in during 2025?
Across more than 60 corporate holiday orders in the 2025 season, buyers started sending lists the week of November 17. Our biggest single order was 451 baskets: 392 shipped, 45 hand-delivered in South Florida and 14 picked up at our store. 420 of the 451 were one of two baskets:

We wrote up the whole order, without the company's name, in what we learned packing 451 corporate gift baskets.
