Let’s face it, it can be hard (and exhausting) to think about creating the perfect holiday meal. Especially this year, when we may not be hosting our friends and family, it may feel like a lot of extra work preparing a big feast for a smaller number. Getting your holiday meal from a local restaurant and plating it at home might just help make your feast feel a little extra special. Less time in the kitchen and clean up for you means more time to enjoy with those you love, virtually or otherwise. There are many restaurants throughout DC, MD, and VA serving an undeniably delicious plate of meat, creamy mash, and sage stuffing, or alternatives. Let someone else handle the cooking this year – and head out to our top 20 restaurants offering fabulously festive holiday meals, to-go.
