Last call: Get a fully cooked Christmas dinner to go - order your holiday meal in advance

If you prefer to leave the cooking to someone else, and focus on family (or maybe on pie), consider ordering your Christmas dinners from a grocery store, caterer, or restaurant.

We’re putting together a list of businesses in the Charlotte where you can order a full-cooked Christmas dinner, with sides, in advance. In many cases, you’ll pick up the meal in advance, and you’ll heat it up yourself. In all cases you need to order in advance.

We will be adding more information to this list as we receive it!
