Christmas Meal Boxes

Turkey and all the trimmings make for the traditional Christmas dinner. For many people, this annual feast, shared with family and friends is a seasonal delight. The trouble is, it takes hours to shop for ingredients, prepare and cook the meal. The answer for every designated chef could be found in Christmas Meal boxes.

Meal boxes contain the ingredients needed to create the perfect festive dinner, along with cooking instructions. In many cases, you can select the size appropriate to your number of guests. These boxes are delivered to your door, so there is no need to battle with crowds in the supermarket.

The team at Women’s Health magazine have selflessly tried and tested a range of Christmas Meal Box options to bring you the shortlist. Their six recommendations are The Cookaway, Hello Fresh, Mindful Chef, Piper’s Corner, Tesco Finest and Coombe Farm. Read the full meal box review on their website.

We love the idea of reducing the stress of meal preparation, especially on Christmas Day. We’d like to add to the list, with some local, specialist food and drink suppliers (also Aylesbury Box Company customers!)

Meat Boxes

Kings Farm Shop rears much of its meat in the neighbouring fields. That means fresh produce, high animal welfare standards and minimal transportation requirements. Since March 2020, Kings Farm Shop have offered an online order service and a local delivery or collection service.

The company have long been a popular choice for delicious turkeys, as well as impressive BBQ boxes in the summer months. In addition to meat, it is possible to order vegetables, condiments and beer and wine from this Buckinghamshire farm shop. That sounds like Christmas sorted!

Deli Platters

For many, an extensive cheese platter is a favourite course at Christmas, all washed down with a smooth glass of wine. Fortunately, No2 Pound Street, a deli specialising in cheese and wine is located in Wendover. The Christmas range includes cheese platters, wine selections and a wonderful choice of Christmas puddings.

No2 Pound Street offers local and national delivery on all orders. Their festive hampers may also solve a few gift dilemmas for foodie friends.

Low & No Drinks Boxes

Raising a glass to everyone’s good health is an important Christmas tradition. Whilst fine wines may be just the ticket, it isn’t for everyone. It’s important not to forget the designated drivers, as well as those preferring lower-calorie, low gluten or vegan-friendly beverage.

This is easy to arrange with Low and No Drinks. Beers, ales, ciders and even cocktails to meet all needs are delivered to your door by this specialist supplier. Their mixed drink boxes provide an easy way to shop for festive gatherings, or you can pick and choose items from their range. The company also offer subscription boxes to keep the drinks cupboard topped up through the year.

Pick N Mix London Sweet Bags

For those with a sweet tooth, Christmas is a time for indulgence. Family favourites, retro and vegetarian sweets are some of the sweet bundles offered by Pick N Mix London. The printed boxes and treats inside make great stocking fillers and are the perfect accompaniment for all those festive films.

A Night Off Takeaway with a Difference

After cooking up a storm, the Christmas chef needs a night off. This is why you need to get your order in with Yumshi. Rather than waiting until you are peckish before calling for a takeaway, Yumshi helps you get ahead of the game.

Weekly orders of fresh, wok-cooked Asian meals are boxed and delivered on a Friday. They can be stored in the fridge, ready to heat up in the microwave or oven when you need a quick, yet tasty and nutritious meal.

Shop Local

Meal boxes are a great way to ensure that everyone enjoys the Christmas celebrations, even the chef. There are some great options from leading brands, but don’t forget to check out local and specialist suppliers. Their bespoke boxes may add the wow factor to your get-togethers.
