I love the holidays as much as the next mama, but I can’t be the only one that gets a bit frazzled with all of the extra events on the calendar and to-do’s on my list. It can be overwhelming to attend all the holiday parties where you need to bring something to share. And let’s not forget the scenario of you hosting and needing to feed a large crowd.
This year instead of spending time scouring Pinterest for recipes or cute holiday treats, braving the busy grocery store parking lot, and stressing myself out, I am going to focus on the joy of the season. How am I planning to do this?
I’m going to rely on every Albuquerquean’s good ol’ friend, Dion’s.
We all know (and LOVE) Dion’s for those nights when we just don’t want to cook or as a fun family outing on the weekends. But did you know Dion’s offers a ton of catering options? Here are a few holiday party scenarios where Dion’s can be your go-to as well.
The School Holiday Party
Somehow these things always sneak up on you. You want to bring something kids will enjoy, but also something healthy to sidestep those judgy moms. The perfect solution is a Dion’s Fruit Bowl. It feeds 20 and costs less than 75 cents per serving. #Momwin!
The Cookie Exchange
These parties are the sweetest tradition where everyone brings a homemade family recipe and leaves with a few cookies from each person and recipes to take home. However, life is busy and sometimes you don’t have time to make your great-aunt’s gingerbread. Instead of dragging your kids to the grocery store, place an order for fresh holiday cookies or brownies and pick them up in the drive-thru on your way to the party.
The Holiday Potluck
Another classic holiday get together. No matter if you were assigned side dish, entree, or beverage, Dion’s has you covered. For entrees, they offer crowd-pleasing pizza or sandwich platters. If you are on side dish duty, grab a few of their new family salads for a guilt-free potluck. If you signed up for beverages, Dion’s offers their delicious lemonade and tea by the gallons.
The Hostess with the Mostest
The holidays should be about spending time with friends and family, not stressing out in the kitchen. If you are wanting to have people over for a casual holiday party, check out Dion’s Combination catering option that feeds 30 people. It comes with 4 pizzas, 3 family salads, and 2 assorted dessert trays. It’s under $5 per person! And if you really want to make your life easy, add a few more items and Dion’s will deliver if the total is over $150. Yup that’s right, your Christmas wish of Dion’s delivery can come true.
So there you have it, Dion’s is my secret for surviving the holiday parties this year. Some of their catering items require a 24 hour notice, so just plan a bit ahead and enjoy the holidays!
