The holidays fill your fridge fast—here’s how to keep everything fresh and odor-free through Christmas gatherings.
Food-saving holiday setup
Temperature check: 37–40°F fridge; freezer at 0°F.
Store by risk level: Ready-to-eat foods up top, raw meats on the bottom.
Use containers, not plates: Covered storage keeps food fresh and reduces odor spread.
Rotate groceries: Place new items behind older ones so nothing gets forgotten.
Odor control that works
Airtight containers + zip bags for strong foods.
Baking soda to absorb odors (especially after seafood, onion-heavy dishes, or party platters).
Wipe spills immediately and clean drawers weekly during holiday season.
Keep produce separate: Some produce releases gases that can affect other foods.
