Let’s be honest: 2020’s been...something.
It’s the perfect year to throw a curve ball at tradition and take the holidays back—along with your sanity. Because while filling up on your favorite holiday food with friends and family sounds really appealing, actually making said holiday food sounds really, well, exhausting. (And don’t even get us started on the reheating and re-eating the next day!)
Besides, it’s the season to rechannel your energy and focus on the things that really matter right now. (Hint: They’re probably not your stove and a burnt yam casserole.) We’ve compiled a list of Nashville restaurants and caterers ready to help you do just that with takeout menus filled with all of the holiday fixings—think perfectly plump turkey, savory stuffing, and creamy sweet potato casseroles. No mixing, sautéing, or basting required. That means less time in the kitchen and more time for family fun.
404 Kitchen

This 12 South staple is dishing up a family-style menu that offers a generous spread including salads, carved meats (turkey and glazed spiral ham), sides (Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and sourdough stuffing), breads, and five-inch individual pies like chocolate meringue and pumpkin. The entire meal, which requires a minimum of two people, starts at $42 per person. You can also kick up the festivities a notch with one of their batched cocktails to-go.
