Families around Northern Virginia list “figuring out Christmas dinner” as one of the most stressful holiday items on their to-do list. You may love to cook, you may love to host the meal, but it takes a lot of work and can create a lot of stress, figuring out how to keep everyone happy. From the gluten free eaters in your family to the vegetarians, it can be complicated. So this year, have your Christmas dinner catered and let us handle the details while you enjoy a delicious, stress-free meal with your family!

Christmas Dinner Catering Actually Saves You Money

One of the biggest reasons for the stress of figuring out Christmas dinner is the expense. First, there’s all that time: people rush around in their cars, spending hours looking for this ingredient and that ingredient, standing in grocery lines, etc. But then there’s the money spent, and even wasted because it’s hard to calculate how much of something you might need. The average family tosses more than $2,000 of leftover food out each year, just because of these miscalculations!

As one of Northern Virginia’s best catering companies, Shirley’s Catering knows exactly how to calculate the amount of food needed at any Christmas party of any size. We also know where to track down the best ingredients and can get good deals, so in the end, having your Christmas dinner catered can actually save you a lot of time and money.

A Fresh, Customized Christmas Dinner for Your Family

Holiday dinners are important family traditions, so at first glance, having your Christmas dinner catered may seem to go against that. However, our chefs are experts at intertwining favorite family recipes with classic holiday menu items like roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and more. We are happy to work with you on special family recipes or dietary needs to ensure everyone in the family experiences a delicious, flavorful and healthy Christmas meal that will invoke all of the happiness of family traditions without all of the stress!

Speaking of Dietary Restrictions

Again, this is one of the biggest headaches that families have describe to us when they’ve been planning Christmas dinner for a large crowd. More and more, people in the family are choosing to go vegetarian or vegan, they might have a health condition that restricts salt, sugar or fat intake, or there may be members in the family who have texture issues or who are simply hard to please. Sometimes new family members bring different cultural and culinary traditions to the table as well, and it’s important to help them feel welcome with menu items that feel familiar to them. At Shirley’s catering, we get this!
