We’re all too busy buying and wrapping gifts to cook! Good thing these places still offer Noche Buena dinner packages.

From receiving the items from online sellers for gifts to making sure the family looks good at the family Christmas gathering, when will we have time to cook? We don’t and coupled with the idea of not wanting to wash dishes on Christmas Eve, we’d rather order out! However, with the multiple stores cutting off orders, here are some restaurants that are still accepting orders for last-minute Noche Buena dinner fixes.

1. Sofitel: Spiral At Home

Noche Buena dinner plans can really slip our minds!

Especially when we’re the host, it’s easy to forget things including what we’re eating for Noche Buena. While some families do potluck and cook from their home kitchen, not all moms have that liberty. Some would rather just buy the food especially when they have over-critical relatives or relatives who have a favorite restaurant. At least if it’s hotel-grade food, there’s a bigger chance they’ll enjoy it.
