Hosting Christmas this year? Here’s how to look like you’ve got it all under control with Cold Storage’s pre-order.
It’s merry season, not stressin’ season.
You know the Christmas season is upon us when the lights are up at Orchard Road.
Has your family begun sending one another potential Christmas food “projects” excitedly in your group chat?
Out of the many gifts you can give each other, here’s a fuss-free one that’s bound to bring some cheer to your family, while lightening your mum’s load.
Cold Storage’s Christmas pre-order programme is back, and it’s a sure-fire way to get all your festive essentials sorted out ahead of time.
Plus, it comes with additional perks if you pre-order early.
Whether you’re hosting a fancy dinner, or just a simple potluck with friends, here are some options you can consider to look the part, without trying too hard.
Perfect holiday roasts
If you’re like me and believe that every meal should come with some protein, these deli roasts will be sure to pleasure your tastebuds.
Whether you’re going for the Rosemary Garlic Ribeye Roast (S$75) or the Italian Herb Ribeye Roast (S$65), they are sure to be a savoury hit.
Think slow-roasted beef to a juicy perfection, with a fragrant herby finish.

You can also go for their new roast dish this year, the Porchetta with Chorizo (S$70), a smoky, crispy, and tender pork belly rolled and roasted for that explosion of flavour and texture in your mouth.
Majestic spreads
Want to do more feasting and less thinking? Why not opt for one of these platters so you can have a good variety, without having to think too much.
The Hearty Christmas Feast (S$95) comes with Roasted Chicken with Chestnut Stuffing, Ribeye Roast Beef with Italian Herb, Honey Turkey Ham, Cranberry Chicken Meatloaf, and Smoked Garlic Chicken Sausages, and can feed eight to 10 persons.

There’s also the Supreme Iberico Set (S$115) for those who take their meat a tad bit more seriously; think Spanish Iberico Ribs, Sausage Platter and Ham that also serves eight to 10 persons.

Not forgetting the Christmas Sausage Platter (S$40) that comes with a good mix of Pork Sausage with Cranberries, Chicken Sausages with Sundried Tomatoes, Pork Snail Sausages, and Cocktail Smokies.
If you’re looking for a stunning showpiece, the Pigs in Blanket Swirl (S$40) is your answer. It’s a 1kg delight that’s perfect for when you just want to pig out.

Crusty treasures
Pies are the latest addition to Cold Storage’s festive offerings, and here are some dishes you can add to the order.
Beef Shepherd's Pie with Minted Peas (S$55) is a Christmas classic that’s both hearty and fuss-free.

Want to level that up? You can go for either the new Premium Seafood Pie (S$65), or the equally indulgent Beef Lasagne with Sundried Tomatoes & Truffle Pesto Mushrooms (S$55).
Add on the Golden Camembert Brioche Wreath (S$49) as an appetizer to give that boujee finishing touch.

Star of the show
No Christmas meal is complete without the iconic centrepiece, aka the Turkey.
Both the Mediterranean Roasted Turkey with Mushroom Stuffing (S$95) and the Butterball Roasted Turkey (S$95) are statement pieces that can’t go wrong.

But if you prefer something less of a hassle when it comes to tearing it apart, you can go for Cold Storage’s new dish, the Old Fashioned Maple Bourbon Glazed Ham (S$80), which is infused with bourbon and orange zest.
There’s also the Manuka Bone-In Ham (S$85) which lets you indulge in premium German and Austrian pork.
