There’s nothing like a holiday meal with family and friends but, oh, dear… who’s cooking? Enter: Central Market’s Holiday Meals, a stress-free way to skip the holiday hassle.

Central Market’s chefs will do the cooking for you — all you do is order and pick it up in-store in the days leading up to the holiday. Whether you’re looking for the whole meal or just time-saving sides to bring to grandma’s, options include:

  • Complete feasts (think: entree + all the fixin’s) for 2-16 guests
  • A-la-carte sides or appetizers like cornbread dressing + mac and cheese
  • Baked-from-scratch pies for dessert

Looking to try something new this year? Central Market goes beyond turkey + mashed potatoes with creative options like herb-crusted beef tenderloin, vegetarian lasagna, tamales, four kinds of stuffing, and more. (ATXtoday City Editor picks? The chicken tomatillo tamales, bourbon pecan pie, and pumpkin cream cheese pie.)

Make holiday hosting worry-free this year by ordering, picking up, and digging intrust us, yule sleigh your guests. 🥧*
