Christmas 2024

What's happening with the HelloFresh Christmas box this year?

This year, we’re making Christmas even more flexible with our ‘Build Your Own Christmas Box’ within the HelloFresh menu. Instead of buying a one-off box, you can now mix and match all the festive elements you want, whether it’s just the whole main course (including a chicken or beef - we’re not doing turkeys this year), a couple of elements, or the full spread including a starter and dessert! Plus, you can order for 2, 3, or 4 people, and if you're expecting extra guests, it’s easy to add more portions with our seamless meal addition function (Just hit the '+' on the recipe).

What recipes can I choose from?

We offer three Christmas side groups, and while there is some overlap between them, this gives you the flexibility to choose the perfect combination for your meal. For example, some sides, like our Honey Roasted Roots, Nutty Bacon Sprouts, and Crispy Rosemary Roast Potatoes appear in more than one group.

If you'd like to experience all of our Christmas sides, you can combine the Trio of Christmas Vegetable Sides and the Classic Christmas Sides, which will give you every side option we have available!

  • Best of Christmas Sides Trio: Crispy Rosemary Roast Potatoes, Honey Roasted Roots and Nutty Bacon Sprouts
  • Trio of Christmas Vegetable Sides: Balsamic Braised Red Cabbage, Honey Roasted Roots and Nutty Bacon Sprouts
  • Classic Christmas Sides: Crispy Rosemary Roast Potatoes and Homemade Cauliflower Cheese

As well as sides we also offer main meats (no turkey this year), a starter, and a pudding:

  • Festive Roasted Beef Joint with Pigs in Blankets and Red Wine Jus
  • Festive Rosemary Roast Chicken with Pigs in Blankets and Homemade Gravy
  • Classic Prawn Cocktail with Marie-Rose Sauce and Baby Gem Lettuce
  • Chocolate Yule Log with Baileys Caramel Sauce Ricotta Cream Filling (Alcohol-Fre

Will you offer any Veggie Christmas recipes?

When will the Christmas meals be delivered?

The Christmas recipes are now live on the menu and will be available for delivery from Saturday, 30th November to Friday, 27th December

Are there any other recipes I can order for Christmas?

During the Christmas season, you can add various festive recipes to the menu in addition to the 'build your own Christmas box, as well as Christmas-themed recipes such as ‘Crispy Rosemary Chicken Schnitzel’ and add-ons, such as Honeyed Bacon Sprouts, and many more, to your weekly box.

Check out the weekly menu to see what is on offer!

Can I order a Christmas Recipe if I don't have a HelloFresh subscription?

As the Christmas recipes are part of our regular weekly menu, you need a HelloFresh subscription to get our Christmas meals.

You can easily create a HelloFresh subscription through our website or app. If, after Christmas, you feel that HelloFresh no longer suits your needs, you’re free to cancel at any time—just make sure to do so at least 5 days before your next box is scheduled to arrive.

Will the Christmas recipes be easy to follow?

Absolutely! To make things as simple as possible, we’ve divided each recipe element into two sections: what you can do the day before and what you can do on the day.

This means you can prep ahead if you’d like to spread out the cooking. Plus, each ‘Build Your Own Christmas’ recipe card includes a QR code that links to a time plan (which you can print out), specially created by our chefs. This will guide you step-by-step to help make your cooking experience as stress-free as possible on the big day!
