Holiday traditions made easy

By:

This holiday season, whether you're celebrating traditions from the past or inventing new ones of your own, METRO is here to help—with a wide assortment of delicious, distinctive, time-saving catering options that will delight your guests.

FOR A WARM, INVITING HOLIDAY DINNER WITH THE ENTIRE FAMILY...

The holidays offer an opportunity to slow things down, turn off the technology, and celebrate the old-fashioned way: together.

To spend more time with your loved ones—and actually enjoy the experience of entertaining—the caterers at METRO can help. Call them a couple of days in advance and order a spread they'll want year after year.

For example: (1) CHICKEN PARMIGIANA CUTLETS, (2) PARMESAN ROASTED GARLIC POTATOES WITH BACON, and (3) COOKED RAPINI WITH CHILI FLAKES, with fresh-baked FRONT STREET BAKERY CALABRESE BREAD on the side and RED VELVET CAKE for dessert. 

Want to save even more time? Order more than you need, heat and serve half of each platter, and dig into the leftovers the following day.

FOR A CONVENIENT, CROWD-PLEASING WEEKEND OPEN HOUSE WITH ALL THE NEIGHBOURS...

Weekend open-house parties are a terrific, generous, community-building way to include neighbours with busy schedules. For yours, keep the food simple, portable, and snack-sized—avoiding items that need to be served warm.

At an event like this, you'll want to get to know your guests—and to spend more time with them. It's easy with METRO's in-house caterers and their delicious, satisfying assortment of holiday platters.

Popular selections include the (1) PINWHEEL SANDWICH PLATTER, (2) the BEEF or VEGETABLE EMPANADAS, the (3) ARTISAN RUSTICA BOARD, the (4) FRESH-CUT VEGETABLE PLATTER, and for dessert FRUIT AND CHOCOLATE FONDUE. 

When you pick up your order, don't forget to stock up on paper products, plastic cutlery and utensils, fresh-baked bread, and gourmet condiments from the IRRESISTABLES collection.

FOR ALL THOSE TIMES YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO BRING...

This holiday season, you're not always going to host. Sometimes, you'll be a guest, and you'll want to bring something along. 

Unfortunately, when asked what's needed, most hosts tend to say things like: "Oh.  Don't bother. We already have everything we need." Which is nice—but not very helpful when you're determined not to show up empty-handed. 

In situations like these, walk through that door with a CUSTOM MADE ORNATE ARRANGEMENT from METRO's floral-services department. Even if your host already has their centrepiece, it's sure to be appreciated in another room.
