Recommendations for gluten-free Christmas dinner for two to heat at home

We were hoping to go out for Christmas dinner this year, but looking at the prices it’s just not really in our budget, especially as there are only two of us.

Neither of us particularly wants to spend Christmas Day stuck in the kitchen either! We both want the full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, but ideally something that is already made or mostly prepped and just needs reheating/finishing off.
One of us is gluten free, so we'd need somewhere that can cater for that properly.

Has anyone used a service that does Christmas dinner for 2, either delivered ready to heat or with everything prepared, that actually tastes nice and homemade rather than like a standard ready meal?

I'm thinking turkey (or another meat), roast potatoes, stuffing, pigs in blankets, gravy, veg, Yorkshire puddings etc, basically the whole lot without having to cook everything from scratch!

It doesn't have to be exactly a portion for two either, we're quite happy to have a bit extra for leftovers over the next day or two!

Would love recommendations from anyone who's actually tried one, particularly if you've found one that feels a bit special rather than just “microwave Christmas dinner”!

all the major supermarkets offer ready to go food. Whilst not everything will be gf in the Christmas to go range you should be able to find them from regular free from section.

Not the Christmas meals but we bought some when we had our kitchen done. Good quality tasty and convenient.
Had the veg lasagna Christmas Eve last year and ordered again.

A lot of that can be cooked in advance and re-heated on the day.
Vegetables don't take long.
I don't know about GF Yorkshire Pudding. Aren't mash, roasties, PiB and stuffing (with Xmas Pud to follow) enough stodge?

We used to buy the ones from Booths for our PIL who really enjoyed them. Unsure if they do a gluten free one or if you have a Booths nearby, but worth a look if you do.
