Christmas Eve provides us with one more opportunity to get together with family or friends. Many people have to juggle family over the holidays – attending Christmas Day dinner with one side of the family one year and visiting the other side of the family on Boxing Day. Why not get together with part of your family on Christmas Eve? Usually, most of the urgent items on your to-do list have been completed…unless you are truly a last-minute shopper? Plus, if you are cooking the holiday meal on Christmas, you can give yourself a break by dining out on Christmas Eve! These Toronto restaurants are offering Christmas Eve 2021 menus…don’t they look tempting?
