Our 2026 Holiday Menu Is Here
Holiday calendars fill up fast in Orange County. If you are planning an office party, a client thank-you lunch, or a family celebration at home, you want food that feels special without turning menu planning into a second job.
Canyon Catering just released our 2026 Holiday Menu. It is built for the way we already cater across OC: scratch-made entrées, sides you actually want seconds of, and add-ons when you need a bigger spread or onsite help.
Entrées made for the center of the table
Each holiday entrée package comes with two accompaniments, one salad, and fresh baked rolls with butter. Pick the protein that fits your crowd.
Oven Roasted Turkey brings white and dark meat with turkey gravy, traditional cornbread stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Honey Glazed Ham is the classic sweet-and-savory anchor. Traditional Ham and Turkey combines both on one spread.
For guests who want something different, Roasted Airline Chicken Breast is finished with sage thyme cream sauce. Signature Tri-Tip comes with mushroom demi-glace. Braised Beef Short Ribs are paired with a forest berry red wine reduction. Salmon is served with lemon dill beurre blanc. Butternut Squash Ravioli with sage cream sauce rounds out the menu for a vegetarian-friendly centerpiece.
Every entrée can also be ordered as an individual boxed meal when you need desk-friendly or drop-off service. Rolls are not included in boxed entrées.
Sides and salads that complete the plate
Accompaniments on the menu read like a real holiday table: garlic mashed potatoes, thyme roasted pee wee potatoes, green bean almondine, holiday spiced sweet potato mash, au gratin potatoes, brown butter roasted cauliflower, roasted carrots, traditional cornbread stuffing, sausage and mushroom stuffing, and holiday vegetable medley.
Salads add color and balance. Harvest Salad layers baby arugula with butternut squash, cranberry, candied walnut, chèvre, and champagne vinaigrette. Classic Caesar is romaine hearts with croutons, shaved Pecorino Romano, and traditional Caesar dressing. Wild Greens and Strawberry Fields lean bright and fresh. Pear and Cranberry and Roasted Beet Salad bring seasonal fruit and earthy beets to the buffet.
Want a moment at the carving station? You can add a carvery to any entrée: tri-tip, prime rib, filet mignon, or roasted turkey breast, each with its own sauce or au jus. Staff are available to serve onsite for corporate holiday events and special celebrations where timing and flow matter as much as flavor.

Hors d’oeuvres for the hour before dinner
The holiday hors d’oeuvre section is designed for mingling: build-your-own platters or à la carte bites.
Cold spreads include The Mediterranean (hummus, pomodoro bruschetta, marinated artichoke, feta, olives, roasted vegetables, crostini, and pita), domestic and international cheese displays, charcuterie, vegetable crudité with house ranch, caprese and watermelon feta skewers, deviled eggs, jumbo shrimp cocktail, and a seasonal fruit display.
Hot options cover the cozy crowd: mini beef Wellington, mini meatballs (bourbon or Italian), baked artichoke dip, and queso fundido with tortilla chips. Some hot items may need a quick reheat on arrival, or we can coordinate chef onsite for a smoother service window.
Desserts that taste like the season
Petite desserts are meant for dessert tables and gift trays: assorted holiday shortbread cookies, macarons, and mini cupcakes in flavors like hot cocoa, pumpkin latte, red velvet, and white chocolate peppermint. Mini cupcakes also include red velvet, gingerbread, ube, chocolate ganache, and sea salt caramel.
Cake pops run from white chocolate cheesecake and fudge nut to strawberry champagne and chocolate truffle. Dessert bars come as pumpkin spiced blondie or chocolate peppermint brownie. Mini apple or pumpkin pies close the loop for guests who want a true holiday finale.
