It’s December: cue Christmas carols, nostalgic holiday movies and beautifully-wrapped presents sitting under a pine tree. But our absolute favourite, out of all Christmas traditions, would be having our closest friends and family over for a hearty meal. Just as well, since we’re still limited to group sizes of five if we wine and dine outside.
Since we’re not all master chefs in the kitchen, many of us will be turning towards the food delivery takeaway – so we wouldn’t perpetually have to keep an eye on the oven. With these eight Christmas dinner deliveries and takeaways, we can now play host while serving up perfectly roasted turkeys and Christmas pudding.
A classic Christmas feast is what we love most about the festive season – our forks and knives will be at the ready for juicy roasts and tasty sides. With Parkroyal Collection Pickering offering Celebration Sets (from $192+), there’s no need to madly rush around the kitchen and fret over the state of dinner.

Their sets are all freshly-prepared by in-house Lime Restaurant chefs, and should feed up to four people comfortably. It’s also delivered straight to your doorstep so it’s coming in hot – the wafting aroma of their Roasted Turkey Breast and Honey Baked Ham is sure to whet your appetite.

Each set also comes with an array of mouth-watering sides: Roasted Vegetables, Chestnuts, Pearl Vine Tomatoes, Brussel Sprouts and Roasted Potatoes. End the meal off with a Trio of Mini Log Cakes, with flavours like blackforest and strawberry shortcake.

While most known for their grazing platters – a divine assortment of cheese and charcuterie – Lush Platters also has festive specials just for Christmas.

Gordon Ramsay might’ve turned the beef wellington into a fine-dining mainstay, but WKD Cuts serves up a rendition that’s equally luxe – they use premium ingredients like foie gras and abalone. As part of their Christmas menu, the Gourmet Wellington Set ($258) lets you choose between Beef Short Rib & Foie Gras or Abalone & Organic Chicken.

Each set also comes with a generous serve of Mac & Cheese and a choice of dessert: Lemon Tart, Dark Chocolate Ganache Tart or Pumpkin Pie.

Just a tip: they’re experts at cooking all sorts of meat, but their beef is consistently cooked beautifully.

As a fresh produce and grocery shop, you wouldn’t expect Little Farms to have such a serious selection of Christmas staples.

There’s one thing that Greenwood Fish Market specialises in: fresh seafood, and an abundance of it. They’ve put the Wellington on the menu just for Christmas – but with their own seafood twist, with Lobster Wellington ($198) and Salmon Wellington ($109).

There’s nothing more hearty than a perfectly-seared steak, and that’s what steakhouse Fat Belly is best known for. But for Christmas, they’re also doling out a variety of roasts: Turkey, Chestnut & Foie Gras Roulade, US Pork Prime Rib or 30 Days Aged Vintage Galican Prime Rib.

Their Christmas Take Home Package (from $208) is rather fancy-schmancy and ideal for smaller groups. It’s a step-up for sure, and you’ll certainly need the proper tableware when your Christmas dinner comes with lavish ingredients like truffle kombu butter and wagyu bresaola.
Tip: It’s our top choice for when you’re celebrating an intimate dinner party, not a full-blown shindig.

The package also includes roasted parsnips and carrots, along with Fat Belly’s signature pasta, the truffle mac & cheese. For convenience’s sake, you can also throw in a bottle of wine for $50.

While a French patisserie doesn’t come to the top of our minds for a cosy Christmas dinner, Paul Bakery brings their A-game with whole roasted turkey and festive canapes. It’s the King Feast ($428) we’re eyeing, a complete meal that’s perfect for parties up to 10. The star of the show is undoubtedly their turkey – it comes both roasted and as a baked ham.

Interestingly, you can choose between Classic or Asian for the turkey. For the Asian Roasted Turkey, expect a burst of flavours from curry spices and sambal – it’s also done up similarly to a nasi lemak with butterfly pea rice, ikan billis and achar. As for the ham, there’s a sriracha and chilli padi glaze all over. Our vote is for the Asian twist, that’s for sure.

There’s also a massive selection of canapes – think lobster, duck, and mushroom – and on top of 12 mini macarons, the set also comes with two log cakes: Chocolate Praline and Yuzu Meringue. It’s a generous amount of food so be prepared with tupperware containers – your guests might want to dabao some home.

Since we’re no longer able to dine out in groups larger than five, it makes the most sense to have your friends and family over for a cosy gathering. But more often than not, the thought of having to prep a gazillion ingredients or hovering by the oven for the entire evening is an immediate turn-off.
Thankfully, Christmas parties no longer have to be a hassle with these eight Christmas dinner deliveries and takeaways.
With Lime Restaurant offering a Festive Celebration Set (from $192+), we can now get savoury classics like roasted turkey and honey baked ham delivered straight to our doorstep. As a nod to our obvious liking for Asian flavours, you can also turn it into a fusion Christmas feast with turkey marinades of either Tom Yum or Pineapple Shoyu.

Besides a generous serving of turkey, the set also comes with delish sides with everything from pearl vine tomatoes to chestnuts – certainly more than enough food to feed four people.There’s even a trio of mini log cakes, featuring flavours like blackforest, strawberry shortcake and chocolate passionfruit.

Those who are looking to gorge themselves silly this festive season will also appreciate Lime Restaurant’s lineup of Festive Buffets (from $69++) and Festive Afternoon Teas (from $68++). Book yourself a slot from now till 2nd January 2022, where you’ll respectively get to try dishes like Roasted Salmon Fillet and Chilli Crab Lobster Quiche.

There’ll also be special brunches and buffets on occasion days – Christmas Eve & Day, and New Year’s Eve & Weekend – that’s when the buffet spread gets extra luxe with Fresh Oysters, Yule Log Cakes and White Pepper Crab.
If you’re attending other Christmas parties, remember to bring along a gift – you wouldn’t want to turn up empty-handed. With Parkroyal Collection Pickering’s selection of Festive Hampers (from $68+), you’re spoilt for choice. These are filled with specially curated Christmas items, ranging from a bottle of champagne to assorted Christmas cookies.
