What time is your main Christmas meal served usually?

[00100001]

We tend to have ours at 1pm, and even though it's at lunch time, we call it Christmas Dinner.

4/5pm ish.

We have croissants and pain au chocolate first thing, then bacon and sausage rolls around lunchtime.

2pm here. Then a cheese board on the one day of the year you can legitimately use the term "supper"

4pm usually. Except if DH gets his way then it's 3pm. I like it later as we eat in the conservatory which feels more festive in the dark, lit by candles.

Same as you OP.

• We have a light breakfast, crumpets or a danish.
• Lunch at 1pm
• Dinner 6ish - Leftovers, pickles and nice bread usually but this year we're doing a baked Camembert with fresh baked bread and other dippy things
• evening will be Xmas chocolate and Xmas films

When it's ready! (Usually around 2/3pm)

1/2pm 😊 works for us and the little monsters!

6ish. I like it when it's dark outside so we can light candles and feels really festive! We have porridge for breakfast and usually baked ham and bits for a lighter lunch.

Around 3. We have a nice brunch type breakfast, snack a bit around lunch and then dinner and pudding can take an hour or two.

5ish

Somewhere between 4 & 6 pm.

6ish probably. Have never had it at lunchtime

Two hours later than I first say it will be.

2.30 to 3 ish.

For preference , around 5 pm, but elderly MIL prefers to eat early so I am aiming at 1.30 this year. Canapés to start, main around 1.30-2 pm & dessert / cheese later after a long rest.
Breakfast for DH & I will be toasted panettone and fizz, & coffee.
Nothing else planned but if anyone is hungry there will be options.

1.00ish when all the kids were at home. Nowadays we have it 7.00 p.m-ish.
I do a naice brunch for all the wider family so I only have to prep/find oven space for the roast and eleventy billion sides for a small number of us at home in the evening.
About the only piece of wisdom I've accrued with age.

Sometime between 1 o'clock and 5 o'clock depending on level of chaos during the day

Normally around 3

5/6pm-ish but this year who knows as I have to actually cook it for the first time in my life!

About 1. So it is complete and washing up done before the Queen's broadcast at 3, which is non-negotiable.

When I make it. Will be long break between main and pudding.

Usually 1/2pm and don't always have pudding straight away have that around 3ish. We don't really eat much the rest of the day, graze on chocolate throughout the day. Few nibbles around by Late morning to pick at with a drink.
Last Christmas we ate at 5pm and I did like it but I like a lazy afternoon after dinner so prefer lunchtime. We don't have a big breakfast or a starter.

When it's ready, I refuse to be pinned down to a schedule! There's no shortage of snacks if you get hungry while you're waiting!

When it's ready.
Usually between 12-6pm

Between 1 and 2 usually.

1 1/30
