The 8 best places to order Christmas dinner online

Check out all of the Christmas options at Goldbelly.

Restaurants large and small use Goldbelly to ship their signature menu items right to your door. Available nationwide, Goldbelly has curated the best Christmas treats from multi-course dinner kits to a la carte choices, including mains like Uncle Ray's famous Cajun Deep Fried Turkey, sides and appetizers like Legal Seafood Lobster Mac & Cheese, and desserts like the ridiculous yet delicious pie, cheesecake, and cake combo — the Piecaken. There's no better way to spend the holidays than filling up on delicious eats and supporting small businesses.

Check all Christmas options at Williams Sonoma.

Known for its high-end home and kitchen products, Williams Sonoma also has plenty of mains, sides, and desserts that will impress your guests. We recommend the Willie Bird Whole Roasted Turkey, a whole organic bird brined to perfection, or Snake River Farms Kurobuta Ham, a cut of premium, juicy pork. Other standouts include the buttermilk biscuits and two-layer tiramisu.

Many prepared dinners are already sold out, so act fast if something from Williams Sonoma catches your eye.

Check all Christmas options at Harry & David.

While Harry & David is known for chocolate towers and gift baskets, you can order so much more, including a full Christmas dinner. The specialty food retailer's mouthwatering, heat-and-serve Gourmet Prime Rib Feast features a ready-to-cook prime rib roast with horseradish sauce, sides, and dessert. For full customization with a classic Christmas ham, check out the Create Your Own Ham Feast, where you'll get a ham with your choice of appetizers, sides, and dessert. Plus, you can get appetizers like a charcuterie and cheese platter to keep your hungry guests at bay while you prep the main course.

Check out all Christmas options at Omaha Steaks.

Choose from holiday feast bundles, build your own Christmas dinner, or buy separate main courses, sides, and desserts from online butcher Omaha Steaks. The customizable packages come ready to cook with easy-to-follow directions. As one of the best meat delivery services, Omaha Steaks is known for its mouthwatering proteins, though you can also count on excellent desserts and side dishes like cheesy potatoes and caramel apple tartlets.

Check out all Christmas options at Boarderie.

You don't want hungry guests crowding your kitchen as you prepare Christmas dinner, so we recommend distracting them with the charcuterie and cheese boards from Boarderie. The pre-arranged, expertly crafted boards arrive overnight — just take the board out of your fridge an hour before serving, unwrap it, and serve. There's even special holiday-themed boards for a truly festive appetizer. Even Oprah is a fan, naming Boarderie to her favorite things list two years in a row. For dinner, three friends and I tried a large board — designed to serve up to 10 people as an appetizer — and only made it halfway through before we were stuffed. We also recommend the Large Pesto Pine Nut Baked Brie.

Check out all Christmas options at Mackenzie Limited.

Mackenzie Limited goes all-out with fully prepared heat-and-eat feasts. The Chateaubriand Dinner features a rich cut of beef with mashed potatoes, broccoli and parmesan gratin, and sticky toffee pudding. You'll also find appetizers like a premium cheese collection or luxurious bacon wrapped lobster tail bites.

Check out all the holiday options at the Honey Baked Ham Co.

Ham is one of the most popular holiday centerpieces, and Honey Baked Ham is the best place to get one for Christmas dinner. It offers several ham dinners for different group sizes, but the 19-person option stands out as the largest on our list. Turkey breast meals are also available along with separate dishes: popular heat-and-serve sides and desserts include cheesy potatoes au gratin, double cheddar mac and cheese, maple sweet potato souffle, and a cheesecake sampler.

Check out all Christmas options at Blue Apron.

Blue Apron is our favorite meal kit delivery service for good reason — it offers a variety of delicious meals for weeknight dinners and holiday feasts alike. For Christmas this year, Blue Apron's menu includes roast beef tenderloin with dijon pan sauce, truffle mac & cheese, roasted grape and goat cheese salad, apple crumb pie, and more. The best news is you won't have to sign up for a subscription to buy — each item is sold a la carte.
