We cover restaurant news, but on Christmas Day, we like to give a nod to all of the home chefs who are in kitchens across the Magic City whipping up Christmas brunch or preparing a Christmas dinner for their loved ones and family.
Unfortunately, if you're missing adobo, chicken stock, condensed milk, mojo, or an ingredient you can only get at a grocery store or supermarket in Miami, most stores are closed on Christmas Day.
Publix, Milam's, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Walmart, Target, Costco, Aldi, and even Winn-Dixie are all closed to respect the annual holiday. Select Price Choice Foodmarkets may be open, but we recommend calling them in advance.
However, there is one supermarket in Miami that seems to be the gift that keeps on giving on Christmas, and it's Sedano's.
Yes, the gusto es nuestro! (If the supermarket's old slogan and television jingle don't immediately come to mind when you read the name, are you even a true Miamian?)

Below, you will find a list of nine Christmas Day necessities, ranging from guava-flavored panettone (yes, it exists) to classic adobo seasoning, that can be purchased at most Sedano's Supermarkets in Miami-Dade County on Christmas Day.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Feliz Navidad!
