The jingle bells are ringing and we're starting to shop around for Secret Santa gifts. It's more than likely that you're looking forward to a cosy Christmas gathering with friends this festive season. With its promise of friendly catch-up and delectable meals, there's much to celebrate this Christmas.

If a Yuletide potluck is in the cards for you this December, we've got a suggestion to up your game while keeping the fuss to a minimum. Ditch the apron this year and impress fellow partygoers with a wide range of cuisines on foodpanda. Whether it's pizzas, hotpots, roasts or desserts you're looking for, there are thousands of restaurants on the platform to choose from. The best thing is – it gets delivered fresh, straight to your doorstep. 

If you’re on the way to your friend’s potluck gathering, then pick-up can be a great option for you. You’ll get to enjoy further discounts of up to 50 percent and no delivery fees and queues too. Take it a step further with a pandapro subscription, an all-in-one monthly subscription plan which piles on free deliveries, additional discounts and exclusive 1-for-1 and up to 30 percent off dine-in deals for future nights out. 

Ready to get your Christmas party going? Here are some Christmas potluck ideas that you can score on foodpanda.  

Have a feast

  • Restaurants
  • Argentinian
  • Tanjong Pagar

Meat lovers shouldn't miss out on Argentinean steakhouse Bochinche. Here, choose from an impressive selection of fine cuts, including 300g of sirloin steak, ribeye steak, beef fillet and more; or the Meat Lovers Feast ($204), which is a whopping 1.2kg of perfectly charred beef. If a Christmas BBQ is what you're aiming for, you can also deliver or pick-up Bochinche's DIY sets, which will get you beautifully marbled raw beef with grilling instructions alongside. To complement, order from its menu of starters and sides – we love the provolone cheese and smoked ham empanadas ($4) and charred broccolini ($20). 

  • Restaurants
  • Hot pot
  • Geylang

Steamboats are the perfect party meal, and it's just plain cosy to gather round with friends over some hot soup. With foodpanda, you can skip the hassle of preparing your own broth and shopping for ingredients too. Instead, indulge in the collagen-rich soups and premium hotpot ingredient platters from Beauty in a Pot – delivered straight to you or picked up with no fuss and no queues via foodpanda. If you haven't already tried, opt for the signature soups, Beauty Collagen Broth and Spicy Nourishing Broth ($20 each). Take your pick from assorted platters, including the assorted seafood luxury platter ($126) which includes abalone Hokkaido fresh scallop and red leg sea prawn; the assorted beef and pork platter ($62) with marbled slices of US Wagyu beef, US Korobuta pork, Nagano pork belly and more; as well as dumpling, mushroom platters and other ala carte items.

Have a Cantonese Christmas with London Fat Duck, a Singaporean partnership between takeaway chain owners Fei Siong and Japanese cuisine Akashi Group, specialising in roast ducks from Ireland. The signature whole London roast duck (from $80) will surely make an impressive centrepiece to your festive spread, but it's also available in a half-portion ($40) for more modest parties. Other Cantonese dishes include dim sum like ashy-hued black pepper London duck buns ($8.30), congee ($12.50) and roast meats topped on noodles (from $12.80) and rice (from $12.80). 

Pasta e Formaggio

For the ultimate sharing food, order an Italian pizza from Pasta e Formaggio as your contribution to the Christmas potluck. This joint has got classic thin-crust pizzas like Margherita, Prosciutto e Funghi, Parma di Rucola, and even a crab-topped version (from $13). Round out the meal with pastas and risottos – popular selections include the vongole ($14) and pancetta risotto ($15). Pasta e Formaggio offers both pick-up and delivery on foodpanda.

End on a sweet note

Every Christmas feast needs a log cake. Rive Gauche, a patisserie hailing from Paris, has just the selection to add true festive sparkle to your party. Pick or deliver the Fete de Noel chocolate log cake ($60) or Santa de Noel strawberry log cake ($60); or go for the fruit cake ($26) and Christmas brownie ($31) for smaller parties. Besides cakes, Rive Gauche also has a festive assortment of adorably decorated gingerbread cookies ($15), macarons ($15) and almond butter cookies ($13.50) to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Churros Republic

There's something about the smell of sugar and cinnamon that reminds of Christmas. At Churros Republic, you can pick up big boxes of up to 60 churros ($40) to feed the whole party, or try unique churros tarts ($6) in fun flavours – including lemon meringue, creme brûlée, gula melaka and dark chocolate and sea salt. Either pick it up at Funan Mall to enjoy further discounts, or if you're worried about transporting a large order, get it delivered straight to your doorstep with foodpanda.

Christmas feasting doesn't mean you need to let your waistline balloon. End your party on a sweet note with Kind Kones, which dishes out a variety of healthy, vegan and mostly gluten-free sweet treats. Made from scratch with natural and chemical-free ingredients, its ice creams do not contain eggs, dairy products, emulsifiers or preservatives either. And the flavours don't suffer for it. For this festive season, we recommend getting pints of Blackforest and Almond Brittle Fudge ice cream ($19/pint). 

  • Restaurants
  • Cafés
  • Marine Parade

Another healthy alternative to your regular ice cream is the acai bowl. Homegrown brand An Acai Affair is always a good option, serving up affordable bowls of the superfood topped with fresh fruits, nuts, pudding and other nutritious toppings. Order a take-home-tub of organic acai (from $15) and add on An Acai Affair's retail packs of goji berries, cocoa nibs, chia seeds and other mixes for a make-your-own-acai corner at your Christmas party.
