Topsail Steamer is offering coastal holiday meals through its Bay Buckets® seafood steam pots designed for family gatherings. The company provides a convenient alternative to traditional holiday meals with pre-portioned ingredients that customers can prepare at home with minimal effort. The family-run business operates 11 locations across Alabama, Delaware, Florida, New Jersey, and North Carolina, with additional nationwide shipping available through Goldbelly.
The company's holiday promotion includes a special gift card offer where customers who purchase a $100 gift card receive a $50 bonus card. This promotion is valid on December 17, 2025, with both traditional and eGift Cards available on the Topsail Steamer website for in-store use. The offer does not apply to Goldbelly gift cards.
Each Bay Bucket® begins with a base of sweet corn on the cob, Red Bliss potatoes, and proprietary seasonings, accompanied by cocktail sauce and butter for dipping. Customers can customize their pots with various seafood options including NC shrimp, little neck clams, crab, scallops, and lobster tail, along with their choice of sausage. The complete meal comes with simple preparation instructions for home steaming.
Danielle Mahon, CEO and Founder of Topsail Steamer, emphasized the company's mission to help families create warm coastal moments during holiday celebrations. The woman-owned business has gained recognition through appearances on Shark Tank and selection by Oprah for The O List: Summer Fun. Customers can place orders through multiple channels including in-store visits, phone orders for pickup or delivery where available, and online through topsailsteamer.com.
The company's expansion plans include developing over 40 new stores nationwide through a partnership with Elite Franchise Capital announced in early 2024. This growth reflects increasing consumer interest in convenient, restaurant-quality meal options for home entertainment. The holiday seafood offerings represent a shift in traditional holiday dining patterns, providing coastal-inspired alternatives to conventional turkey and ham meals.
Topsail Steamer's business model addresses several contemporary consumer needs including convenience, customization, and experiential dining at home. The single-use steam pots eliminate meal planning complexity while maintaining the social aspect of shared dining experiences. The company's nationwide shipping capability through Goldbelly extends its market reach beyond physical store locations, making coastal holiday feasts accessible to customers across the country.
