9 Seattle Restaurants That Have Christmas Dinner Covered

Let the pros do the work.

It’s that time of the year again: The holidays are fast approaching, relatives are booking stays for longer than you anticipated, and you’re about to sit down and plan a meal for a large number of hungry guests. In a way, we’re all making up for lost time, since last year was a bit of a wash, but that doesn’t mean that the 2021 holiday season has to return to the chaos of yore. Instead, let us suggest wiping the always stressful holiday meal planning off of your to-do list, and ordering one from the experts instead. That’s right: Get out of the kitchen and let the experts handle it. You’re welcome.

The à la carte menu from The Corson Building is perfect if you’ve a) got indecisiveness eaters who hate prix fixe or b) want traditional foods that are still able to differentiate themselves from your grandmother’s classics (think poached gulf prawns, duck leg confit, pork rillettes, and a pear brown butter tart for dessert). There’s also a ton of wine to choose from, and an optional holiday centerpiece design that’ll cost you an extra $100.
How to order: Orders placed online can be picked up between 3 - 7 pm on December 23.

In addition to their seasonal offerings, STK Steakhouse is also serving up two special holiday packages. Choose from the roasted prime rib for two ($139) or roasted free range turkey breast for two ($109), both of which come with a handful of sides, like confit fingerling potatoes, cornbread stuffing, green beans, and old school gravy. You can also add additional servings for $70 extra and $55 extra, respectively.
How to order: Orders placed online can be picked up between December 24 and 26 from 11 am to 3 pm.

This classic Jewish deli is serving up three options for Christmas dinner this year: a traditional package for two, a vegetarian version, and a third a la carte menu for those last-minute side dishes you can’t be bothered cooking. Packages—featuring roast beef (or jackfruit pot roast), roasted veggies, and two Parker House rolls—cost $60 a pop and serve two, with the option to expand.
How to order: Online orders can be picked up between December 22 and 24.

For a Christmas dinner heavily inspired by the Pacific Northwest, place an order with Taylor Shellfish, which is offering Christmastime delivery up until December 23. Holiday favorites include a butter clam kit, trio oyster sampler, smoked king salmon, and Ekone octopus.
How to order: Order online on or before December 21 in order to receive by December 23.

Holiday meal kits from Kitchen & Market feature your choice of beef tenderloin, pork loin, or rack of lamb, plus roasted chestnut soup, radicchio and pear salad with toasted hazelnuts, duck fat fingerling potatoes, and roasted Romanesco with bagna cauda. The package serves four to six and costs between $125 - $195, depending on choice of meat.
How to order: Orders placed by Monday December 20 can be delivered or picked up on December 23.

Traditional Christmas dinner isn’t for everyone. On that note, why not have an Italian-style meal instead? Whidbey Island’s Ciao Food & Wine delivers on the latter with their new meal kits, all of which are chef-curated and very Italian (think meatballs, minestrone, flatbread, shrimp scampi, and more).
How to order: Orders placed online will be delivered within two days for free via FedEx.

Over in West Seattle, Haymaker is offering a Christmas Eve pickup dinner for $90 per person (minimum two people per order). All orders include a beef tenderloin and red wine demi, potato gratin with black truffle and parmesan, a gem lettuce salad, and a chocolate torte & dulce de leche to finish.
