If you're not in the mood for a traditional festive feast, or you just can't be bothered cooking for your whole family, we've found some local restaurants open for delivery straight to your door on Christmas Day.
If ordering in is on the menu this Christmas, it's likely Indian will be popular. Earlier this year, a report from Menulog claimed butter chicken was their most ordered dish.

For those with a hankering to spice up their Christmas meal, there are a number of restaurants that will be serving fresh Indian food, including Gorka Kitchen in Glen Eden (Auckland) or if you're further north you can check out Indian Fusion (Paihia). In the capital, Masala Cafe and Bar (Wellington) is a go for an easy dinner.
The Menulog Report found Hawaiian pizza was the second most popular dish behind butter chicken. So if your're keen on sharing a pizza, tear into a veggie delight or beef lovers from City Pizza in Mt Roskill, Auckland.
The Kebabs (Dinsdale) will be serving up doner kebabs and pizzas to those in Hamilton.
If you've had a bit of a big Christmas Eve and you're craving a Big Mac combo, you'll still be able to order McDonald's to your sickbed using your UberEats app.
"Christmas is the one day of the year we go out of our way to spend time with friends and family and sharing a meal together is the best part of the day," says Menulog commercial director Rory Murphy.
"We want to connect people and the food they love... Christmas Day shouldn't be any different, especially with many local favourites open to deliver a range of cuisines, suited to any festive tastes."
While UberEats were unable to provide specifics on the restaurants open, they'll also be up and running as usual.
