Step by step

How to order a holiday bundle

To-go holiday meals sell out and require lead time, so the process is a little different from a normal takeout order.

📞

1. Order ahead by the deadline

Call or visit your local restaurant well before the holiday — many require orders several days to a week in advance, and popular bundles fill up. Confirm the exact cutoff date when you order.

🕒

2. Pick your pickup window

You'll choose a pickup date and time slot, typically the day before or the morning of the holiday. Bring your order confirmation and arrive within your window.

🔥

3. Reheat & serve

Bundles come fully cooked and chilled to reheat at home. Follow the included instructions — generally an oven warm-up for the turkey or ham and the sides, timed so everything is hot together.

Reheating overview: Heat-at-home meals arrive cooked and only need warming. As a general guide, cover the main and sides with foil and reheat in a moderate oven until hot through, adding the rolls near the end and serving pie at room temperature or slightly warmed. Always follow the specific reheating card packed with your order — times depend on portion size and your oven.
