You Can Score Major Deals When You Get Easter Dinner To-Go This Year
With Easter Sunday right around the corner, chances are you might be looking into dinner options that require you to spend less time in the kitchen and more time with your loved ones. Whether you're celebrating virtually or planning on gathering at home, a number of places are offering special deals or meal packages to make putting together your holiday feast a hassle-free experience. Here's where to get Easter 2021 dinner to-go so you can score all of your festive favorites with none of the cooking or cleanup.
While some restaurants may close their doors for the spring holiday, numerous spots will be offering pick-up and delivery on Sunday, April 4. Whether you're looking for something more traditional like a ham dinner or are in the mood for a casual spread, there are plenty of options (and deals) to take advantage of.
When thinking about your Easter feast, it's a good time to refresh yourself on the CDC's recommendations for celebrating holidays as of March 18. According to the CDC, "The safest way to observe religious and spiritual holidays this year is to gather virtually, with people who live with you, or outside and at least 6 feet apart from others." Also, when you pick up your food, be sure to follow the most updated CDC guidance on mask-wearing and social distancing. Without further ado, here are some of the best and most delicious takeout deals you can get in on this year.
