Order Christmas charcuterie at Boarderie.

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.

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.

Williams Sonoma

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.
