The Holiday Playbook: Easy Ways to Make the Season Bright

The Holiday Playbook: Easy Ways to Make the Season Bright

November 2025

The holidays are a time for connection, comfort and celebrating with the people you love. That’s why we have put together The Holiday Playbook - a lineup of feel-good food, thoughtful gifts and sweet traditions designed to make the season easy, joyful and full of heart. Whether you’re hosting, gifting, or gathering, consider this your guide to a stress-free, flavor-filled holiday season.

For the Host: Stress-Free Feasts

Hosting the holiday meal? We’ve got your back (and your sides).

Our Everything But The Turkey makes entertaining simple and delicious, with four family-sized sides that taste like they’ve been cooking all day without you actually having to cook all day.

Each package serves six and includes Cheesy Creamed Corn, Creamy Mac + Cheese, Red-Skinned Mashed Potatoes, Parmesan-Herb Sweet Corn Stuffing and our housemade Country Gravy. You can even add a Huckleberry Apple Cobbler or bottle of red (Dark Horse Cabernet) or white (Starborough Sauvignon Blanc) wine for $10, for a limited time to make it extra cozy.

Just pre-order online and pick it up right before your celebration. We’ll handle the food, you focus on the fun.

For the Gifter: Presents That Delight

Gift-giving doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, the best gifts often come in the form of Lazy Dog gift cards (and maybe a little something for yourself too).

Here’s the scoop:

• Buy $50 in gift cards, get $10 promo card back to use in the new year.

• Snag our $30 gift card + mug bundle and score a limited-edition Lazy Dog mug while supplies last.

• Want to give back? Grab a Habitat for Humanity co-branded gift card, and we’ll donate 10% of your purchase to support families building better futures.

Now that’s a gift that feels good all around.

For the Family: Sweet Traditions

Looking for a fun way to gather the crew? Our DIY Gingerbread House Kits are back and 100% of net proceeds benefit Habitat for Humanity.

Each kit includes everything you need to create your very own gingerbread masterpiece: pre-cut edible walls and roof pieces, icing, and candy for decorating.

You can:

• Build your house right at the table while dining in

• Take it home for a family decorating night

• Order a bundle of four online for $31.80 (plus shipping)

It’s the perfect mix of creativity, connection, and sugar.

For the Crew: Gather, Eat and Be Merry

There’s nothing better than coming together over great food, especially when we do the cooking. Lazy Dog’s large party menus make planning easy for groups of 12+ and feature our most-loved dishes such as BBQ Bison Meatloaf, Ginger Soy Salmon, and Pretzel-Crusted Pork Schnitzel. Call your local Lazy Dog for more information.

You bring the friends; we’ll bring the feast (and maybe a few Gingerbread House Kits for dessert).

Or just drop by your local Lazy Dog, warm up with a handcrafted cocktail and soak in the festive vibes.

Group Dining

For the Beer Lover: Spreading Holiday Cheers

For the beer fan in your life, the newest Lazy Dog Beer Club release, Spreading Holiday Cheers, is the ultimate holiday treat.

This limited-edition eight-pack features four small-batch beers from partner breweries across the country, each with festive label art and wintery tasting notes. Beer Club members also enjoy exclusive perks like merch, giveaways and in-restaurant benefits all year long.
