Spending the holidays in Wichita is a gift and, for some of us, not cooking also is a gift! Wondering where you can order Christmas dinner in Wichita? We’ve compiled this list of establishments serving holiday meals, whether you’re looking for Wichita restaurants open for dine in or you’re in search of restaurants in Wichita with complete Christmas meals prepared for carryout or delivery.

The Kitchen

To-go: Order your customized meal from The Kitchen until the popular downtown restaurant reaches its maximum order capacity. Chef-owner Natasha Gandhi-Rue is offering three classic options this holiday.

Build your perfect holiday meal by choosing the menu items and sizes that fit your tastes and needs, from small servings that feed two to large servings that feed eight.
