While the traditional Christmas family gathering around a festive table might have been put on hold this year, that doesn't mean you need to miss out on an incredible Christmas spread, especially if you're not usually the nominated cook.
If you prefer to leave the cooking duties and clean-up to the professionals, this might just be your year.
With so many high-end restaurants pivoting to delivery, luxury Christmas dinner delivery is now readily available at the click of a button. Which means you could be sitting down to the thrill of Christmas lunch, prepared by Daniel Humm or Grant Achatz, but in your own home.
With that in mind, we've rounded up some of the best Christmas dinner deliveries available to order online this Christmas, in the US and Europe.

Hayato at ROW DTLA - Los Angeles
If it's Christmas for two, try Hayato chef Brandon Go's new take-out sushi Orizume for December for $340. Chef Go says: “I have purposefully created this Orizume for two (or more) people to share. This is something to eat with a friend, to pair a bottle of sake or wine with, and make an evening out of. It’s my hope that for just a little while, although this year has given us a lot to be upset about, you can be reminded a little of what it was like to have us cook for you, I can remind myself that I still have some ability to cook, and that one day, we will be able to enjoy this together in person again.”
