Christmas Day is all about spending time with our friends and family. And if you’re playing host and are looking to add a little novelty to this year’s yuletide celebrations, trade that regular turkey for a juicy, drum oven-roasted roll porchetta as your dining table’s centerpiece.
Direct to Masses is an online business that lets you order festive porchetta and Christmas bundles with offerings such as Duck Leg Confit and Braised Red Wine Angus Beef Cheek to help you impress even the pickiest of eaters.
Instead of spending hours on end slaving in the kitchen and worrying about your turkey going dry, simply place your order with Direct to Masses, sit back, and have an entire frozen, restaurant-quality Christmas dinner delivered to your doorstep. All you have to do then is just pop it in the oven, and viola!
Here’s the low-down on their delicious offerings this Christmas:
Log cakes are a Christmas dinner mainstay, but you can up the ante at your dinner party with this aromatic, succulent log of porchetta instead. This Christmas Porchetta ($88 for full log, $36 for 2 slices) is an Italian pork roast dish that’s perfect for eliciting oohs and aahs from your guests as you slice into it at the dinner table.
Filled with dried Greek figs, black prunes, sage and thyme, and served alongside a Honey Mustard dipping sauce, you won’t be missing the turkey with these festive flavours.
Instead of cooking it in a conventional oven, Direct to Masses puts a local twist on it by roasting it Cantonese style in a drum oven to get that crunchy crackling exterior. All you need to do is pop it into the oven about 60 minutes before serving and a quick 20 minutes in the oven or airfryer if you’re heating up a slice or two.
Even if you’re not having a big shebang for Christmas this year, that doesn’t mean you can’t treat your posse to a mini Christmas feast.
For $60, the 2-3 pax Christmas Bundle consists of two thick slices of Christmas Porchetta, Duck Leg Confit, as well as melt-in-your-mouth Braised Red Wine Angus Beef Cheek with a side of Mashed Potato.
There’s even an option to switch out the beef cheek for another duck confit or a slab of their signature Crackling Roasted Pork that will rival even your favourite roasted meats stall.

Even if you’re accommodating a larger crowd, you can avoid all the prep and still fool the guests into thinking you’ve cooked by ordering the restaurant-quality 4-6 pax Christmas Bundle ($138) that will serve up a generous amount of finesse.

You’ll get a whole log of Christmas Porchetta, and two servings of Duck Leg Confit, Braised Red Wine Angus Beef Cheek, and Mashed Potato each.
You don’t even have to worry about the specifics of preparing each dish as there’s a easy-to-follow guide on their website telling you exactly how long to heat them up before serving.
We’re less than a month away from Christmas which means lugging our Christmas trees out of storage and blasting Mariah Carey and Michael Buble on repeat to get into the festive mood. It’s also around this time that we start to coordinate and plan our year-end gatherings with family and friends.
You can also take heart in knowing that every single item on their menu is preservative- and MSG-free
