Here are the 5 NEW Christmas holiday feast sets from Cold Storage under $99
With less than 2 months to Christmas, it’s time to plan ahead.
According to Cold Storage, their holiday feast sets sell out really quickly, so it’s best if you place your order early.
For this year’s spread, we’ve got quite a wide selection but for the sake of this article, we’re going to highlight the NEW combos under $99.
So… here we go:
Under $50
Vegan Delight Combo
Price: $48
Wake up your holiday palate with this vegan triple “threat.”
You will feast on a medley of roasted Brussels sprouts, kale, and red cabbage drizzled with a sweet onion glaze.
Next up, a flavor-packed spinach salad brimming with fruits and crunchy nuts will have you going nuts.
And for the final course?
Herb-roasted potatoes that are crispy on the outside yet soft inside.
It’s a vegan delight combo that even meat lovers will crave, made with wholesome ingredients.
Just heat and eat for a plant-based meal that feels like a celebration.
No sad salads for Christmas 😉
Harvest Holiday Delight
Price: $48
Why spend all day in the kitchen when you can serve this Harvest Holiday Delight meal set instead?
With candied pumpkin to kick things off, truffle mashed potatoes with cauliflower rice to keep things light, a trio of brussels sprouts for the veggies fans, and a kale and red cabbage mix to add a pop of color, you will have the coziest holiday spread without any of the prep work.
Just heat, plate, and take all the credit for this gourmet feast.
Spaetzle Spectacular Feast
Price: $48
This isn’t just another pasta night.
This Spaetzle Spectacular Feast whisks you away through Germany’s most tasty flavors.
Fresh spaetzle pasta gets smothered in grated Emmental cheese and sweet caramelized onions for a savory experience.
But just when you think you can’t handle another bite, the sweet potato side arrives with its sweet creaminess.
Finish it off with the light, refreshing holiday salad, and German balsamic dressing to cleanse your palate.
Under $100
Winter Wonderland Feast
Price: $60

Sauteed veggies bring some nice colors and essential nutrients to the spread.
Gather ’round with loved ones and make merry over this palate-pleasing trio.
Holiday Harmony Combo
Price: $95
Last but not least, bring holiday indulgence to the table with this feast.
Savor every bite of the braised duck legs, their succulent meat saturated in rich flavors.
Smooth, creamy mashed potatoes provide a counterpoint, their buttery comfort anchoring the duck’s decadence.
But no festive spread is complete without a fresh accompaniment: the earthy mushroom salad, a burst of umami, and vegetal crunch.
This trio harmonizes in a melody of complementary textures and flavors, their appeal singing carols from the first bite.
With this combo, you’ve got a celebratory meal fit to ring in the Christmas bells.
