Your Guide to Preparing the Ultimate Christmas Dinner Without Doing Any Actual Work

As Christmas gets closer and the excitement builds up, there always comes the hassle of preparing the Christmas celebratory feast. It's that annoying little voice in the back of your head, "What are they going to say about your turkey this year?" We were always victims of this little voice (but we obvs prevailed every year though), but worry you shall not, because w'ere here to rescue you -- mostly because we know exactly how it feels. This year, Santa (AKA us) came early with a list of places where you could easily assemble a whole Christmas feast without even breaking a sweat from the comfort of your couch. 

Turkey from La Gourmandise

The unsung hero of every Christmas dinner table. Mashed potatoes are a staple item in any festive dinner, so you'd only want the creamiest, silkiest and most buttery mashed potatoes you can get your hands on.

Roasted Vegetables from Gourmet

With all the turkey and mash you'll be consuming, you will need some greens to help with the face stuffing.

Cranberry Sauce from Gourmet

A delicacy which is better left for the professionals to do. The cranberry sauce either makes or breaks the dinner.

Sweet Potato Pie from Cookies N Pie

The only downside to ordering instead of baking it at home is that the house will not fill up with the smell of love in the oven.

Christmas Cookies from Ovio

Nothing like a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows on top with a side with a spiced gingerbread cookie on a cold winter night.

Gingerbread House from La Poire

The first question that came to mind was "could we fit in there?" Unfortunately, the answer was no.

Christmas Cakes from Salé Sucré Pâtisserie

A pretty modern form Christmas celebratory food, but with all the festive cakes on display, you won't be able to resist.

Drinks from Cheers

You can get your wine (we totes recommend getting Beausoleil), or your poison of choice, via calling your nearest Cheers branch. To purchase non-alcoholic beverage, you will need to just go to any kiosk or supermarket near you. But you probably knew that already.
