Harry & David
Christmas is on the horizon. If you don't love to cook or lost track of time between traveling and gift shopping, ordering Christmas dinner online is a lifesaver. Countless meal services are available to take the stress off your shoulders, but you'll have to order soon for holiday delivery. We've also put together lists of the best turkey and best ham if you just want to outsource the centerpiece.
Below are six places to order Christmas dinner online that can cover your entire meal or take care of the sides and desserts you don't have the space, time, or energy to tackle. Retailers like Williams Sonoma, take care of every aspect, from the prime rib to the pecan pie, while Goldbelly lets you pick and choose individual dishes from gourmet restaurants.
With most services, you'll want to order by December 17 to avoid paying large last-minute shipping costs. However, some services offer rushed delivery up to December 22.
Here are the best places to order Christmas dinner online

Available nationwide, Goldbelly has curated the best Christmas treats from multi-course dinner kits to a la carte choices, including mains (prime rib, anyone?), sides, appetizers, cookies, pies, and other desserts. There's no better way to spend the holidays than filling up on delicious eats and supporting small businesses.
Harry & DavidHarry & David offers several ready-to-cook Christmas meals, including a Gourmet Prime Rib Feast.
While Harry & David is known for chocolate towers and gift baskets, you can order so much more, including a full Christmas dinner. The specialty food retailer's mouthwatering, heat-and-serve Gourmet Prime Rib Feast features a ready-to-cook prime rib roast with horseradish sauce, sides, and dessert. Plus, you can get appetizers like a charcuterie and cheese platter to keep your hungry guests at bay while you prep the main course.
Omaha SteaksChateaubriand, one of the finest cuts of beef, is one of several centerpieces available from Omaha Steaks.
Choose from holiday feast bundles, build your own Christmas dinner, or buy separate main courses, sides, and desserts from online butcher Omaha Steaks. The customizable packages come ready to cook with easy-to-follow directions. As one of the best meat delivery services, Omaha Steaks is known for its mouthwatering proteins, though you can also count on excellent desserts and side dishes, cheesy potatoes, caramel apple tartlets, and more.
Williams SonomaPrime rib takes center stage in many of Williams Sonoma's holiday dinner offerings.
Known for its high-end home and kitchen products, Williams Sonoma also has premade holiday dinners that will impress your guests. Prime rib takes center stage in many of the ready-to-cook meals, but there are other options, including beef Wellington, ham, and turkey. Each meal includes delicious sides and dessert, and appetizer add-ons are available. Williams Sonoma requires more lead time because it doesn't offer next-day shipping on perishables, so place your order soon.
BoarderieBoarderie is the perfect way to kick off your holiday feast and satisfy hungry guests while you cook.
You don't want hungry guests crowding your kitchen as you prepare Christmas dinner, so we recommend distracting them with the charcuterie and cheese boards from Boarderie. The pre-arranged, expertly crafted boards arrive overnight: just take the board out of your fridge an hour before serving, unwrap it, and serve. Even Oprah is a fan, naming Boarderie to her favorite things list two years in a row. For dinner, three friends and I tried a large board — designed to serve up to 10 people as an appetizer — and only made it halfway through before we were stuffed.
The Honey Baked Ham Co.While ham is the centerpiece of most Honey Baked Ham holiday dinners, there are also turkey options and a fleet of sides.
Ham is one of the most popular holiday centerpieces, and Honey Baked Ham is the best place to get one for Christmas dinner. It offers several ham dinners for different group sizes, but the 19-person option stands out as the largest on our list. Turkey breast meals are also available along with separate dishes: popular heat-and-serve sides and desserts include cheesy potatoes au gratin, double cheddar mac and cheese, maple sweet potato souffle, and a cheesecake sampler.
