Food Catering Cuisine Culinary Gourmet Buffet holiday Party Concept

The holiday season is always a magical time of year; spending time with family and friends is always a wonderful way to reminisce over the true meaning of the season. A time of year as special as the holiday season deserves an especially memorable celebration, so no matter which holiday you and your family celebrate, now’s the time to start planning your next holiday event! 

Few things bring the family together like good company and good food; thousands of families across the DFW area host parties to celebrate the holidays, share meals together, and reconnect with loved ones. These events often feature a delicious catered dinner that’s fitting for the holiday season, and depending on the holiday that’s being celebrated, the cuisine may differ from event to event. Let’s take a look at some upcoming holidays and our recommendations for the best food to serve for each one!

Christmas: 

One of the most widely-celebrated holidays in the world, Christmas is a holiday that millions of people all over the world have fond memories of celebrating. The cuisine that’s typically served around Christmas Time is a central part of the warm, fuzzy memories that people have about the holidays; roast beef, mashed potatoes, candied yams, and other homestyle staples are typically on the menu this time of year. So why not serve up some good old-fashioned comfort food during your Christmas event? 

One of our favorite dishes to serve at Christmas parties is Turkey and Dressing, a savory favorite that’s sure to evoke memories of holiday celebrations from years past! Thick cuts of turkey served with warm brown gravy and all the fixin’s is sure to be a hit at your upcoming holiday party; we guarantee that everyone will be coming back for seconds!

Hanukkah:

A sacred holiday for millions of people across the country, Hanukkah spans 8 days in mid-December and celebrates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem over 2,000 years ago. Like many holidays celebrated near the end of the year, Hanukkah is often celebrated with a full table of delicious food for the whole family to enjoy. This year, why not leave the serving to us and opt for a full-service catering package?

Full-service catering is a great option for serving large groups of people because your guests don’t have to serve themselves; a team of servers are there to serve your guests and keep their plates full all night long! Another benefit of a full-service catering package is that it often includes setup and teardown, meaning that you won’t have to lift a finger when the party’s over.

Kwanzaa:

Kwanzaa is a 7-day holiday that was created in the 1960s to celebrate African-American culture and heritage, and a central part of all Kwanzaa celebrations is sharing food with friends and family. The act of gathering and sharing food is part of the intimate celebration of Kwanzaa, and if you’re looking to give mom a break in the kitchen this year, a catering drop-off plan is the way to go!

With these plans, your entire catering order is delivered to your home so you can spend time with your friends and family in a casual setting. Plus, everything is delivered in disposable serving trays with utensils, napkins, and more, making setup and cleanup easy-peasy. All that’s left to do is give thanks and share an amazing meal together!
