Where to Order Festive Meal and Cocktail Kits
Celebrate the season, beyond the usual turkey and mashed potatoes with this year’s holiday feast kits.
It surely has been a year like no other and this holiday season will surely be no different! Now that many of us are celebrating together yet apart, folks are finding new ways to commemorate the season and one of those ways has been through food.
Food is the ultimate connector and the sensation of taste is bound to our memories. Plus, the options for takeout and delivery these days are nearly endless when it comes to holiday-ready, celebration-worthy meals and dessert that are primed to be an epic gift, for yourself to enjoy or send out as a token of appreciation.
Here are several restaurants and food businesses (in no particular order) that are offering memorable festive dinners and meal kits for celebrating the holidays at home.

BERNHARDT’S
From the team of Dreyfus, Bernhardt’s is old school meets new school. Opening mid-pandemic to serious fanfare, we delight in this charming takeout and bottle shop that’s part rustic French bistro and sometimes also, part Jewish comfort food zone.
What to order: The “Hanukkah Appetizing Box” is a great way to tick a lot of Hanukkah boxes, packed in one perfect box. You get 9 potato latkes (representing the 8 candles and 9th shamash candle), cold-smoked salmon, gribiche with trout roe, dill sour cream, apple sauce, horseradish, lemon wedges and a mixed pickle. At the same time, you can always count on their Rotisserie Chicken offerings to satisfy any holiday roasted bird cravings.
RHUM CORNER
Dinner and cocktail kits are made with love and atmosphere in mind when even the takeout comes with a playlist! Known for their Haitian food and lip-smacking renditions of classic cocktails (hello, first in Toronto to bring back the Pina Colada), Rhum Corner is reliably luscious and everyone should have a jar of their Pikliz in the fridge.
What to order: Order up a Dark N Stormy Drink Kit or try the Kremas! Kit for Haitian Eggnog. Shareable favourites include Haitian Fried Chicken, the Griot Bowl, Oxtail Plate, Macaroni Au Gratin, Salt Cod & Chicken Patties and together would make a feast.
