For all those cozying up at home while restaurants are open for half capacity and patio dining, plenty of Nashville restaurants provide options for takeout and delivery meals this holiday season.

And if we’re going to get through this thing, we might as well do it with over-the-top feasts, piles of pasta, and skillet fried chicken — not to mention stollen and to-go mimosa kits. So put up a few more twinkle lights, don your stretchiest pants, and pour out a to-go cocktail. Here’s how to celebrate Christmas in 2020 at home in Nashville, while supporting area restaurants.

Looking for a restaurant that is open on Christmas Day? Check out those options here.

This curated map isn’t an exhaustive list, so we encourage you to contact your favorite spot and inquire about their holiday celebration menus.

Our local restaurants need your support more than ever.
