The best holiday gatherings do not have to be the most complicated.

Whether you’re hosting Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving dinner, a casual fall get-together or a holiday party at home, bringing everyone together should leave room for you to actually enjoy it. With holiday drop-off catering in Chicago, you can serve a memorable spread without spending the entire day cooking, prepping and cleaning.

At Paramount Events, our seasonal Drop-Off menus are designed to make entertaining easier, with chef-prepared dishes delivered directly to you.

Start the Season with a Fall Favorite

Fall entertaining does not always need a formal dinner. For game days, Friendsgiving, family gatherings or a casual night with friends, build a menu around something everyone wants to dig into.

Our Mac & Cheese Bar turns a comfort-food favorite into a customizable spread with creamy mac and cheese, your choice of proteins and plenty of toppings and sides at $23 a person.

It is an easy option for groups because guests can build their own bowl and go back for their favorites.

Hosting Thanksgiving Without Spending All Day in the Kitchen

Thanksgiving may be centered around the meal, but that does not mean the host has to prepare every part of it.

Paramount Events’ Thanksgiving catering in Chicago brings the traditional holiday meal directly to your home, from turkey and seasonal sides to desserts and optional additions. Our team prepares, packages and delivers everything so you can spend more time around the table and less time managing the kitchen.

Hosting Friendsgiving instead? Drop-off catering works just as well for a smaller gathering with friends, especially when everyone would rather eat than coordinate who is bringing what.

Make Holiday Hosting More About Gathering

As Thanksgiving gives way to December celebrations, menus often shift from a traditional sit-down meal to food guests can enjoy throughout the evening.

This year’s holiday offerings are built for exactly that kind of entertaining, with dips and spreads, a Holiday Nosh Station and seasonal winter dishes that make it easy to create a full spread or add a few special touches to your gathering.

Think cheese and charcuterie, shrimp cocktail, gougères, deviled eggs, cocktail sausages and shareable dips alongside seasonal entrées, vegetables and salads.

It is holiday food designed for lingering, grazing and catching up.

Plan Your Holiday Gathering Early

Holiday calendars fill quickly. Whether Thanksgiving is at your house this year or you’re already planning a December get-together, getting the food figured out early is one less thing to think about later.
