Moms work hard to make the magic of Christmas happen–from helping Santa with the presents to laboring over the holiday table and even to dealing with those pesky elves. We keep track of the busier-than-usual calendar filled with Christmas recitals and concerts, classroom parties and gift exchanges. We remember to thank in tangible (and intangible ways) people who do amazing things for our families all year long like teachers, hairstylists, garbage and recycling crews and delivery drivers.
Hoping to lighten our load, we feverishly scroll Instagram for “holiday hacks” which all too often fail to deliver. But, rest assured, help is just one quick phone call away! Calhoun’s, the well-known and well-loved restaurant chain in East Tennessee, can put an entire holiday spread on your table, thanks to the “Holiday Feed Packs” they are offering this season. It’s practically a Christmas miracle!
Both smoked turkey and smoked prime rib are offered as entree options. Depending on your Feed Pack entrée choice, it will include sides that compliment your main dish. Those sides range from mashed potatoes and gravy, to dressing and rolls and the popular Spinach Maria and more. Calhoun’s didn’t forget dessert either. Seasonal cheesecake is also included. The price ranges from $86.00 to $168.00 based on the number of servings and your entrée selection. You can even add a “feed 5” salad for $20.00. Simply pick up your phone 48-hours in advance for the Smoked Turkey Holiday Feed Pack and 72-hours for the smoked prime rib.
Knoxville Moms had a chance to sample some of the “Holiday Feed Pack” menu at our 13th annual Favorite Things Party. The Calhoun’s on Bearden Hill hosted us in its festive party room. There was plenty of variety and more than enough food for our large group. The food was delicious as you would expect from Calhoun’s! That brings me to another tested and approved Knoxville Moms holiday hack. Allow Calhoun’s to host your gathering in one of its private rooms. There are nine Calhoun’s locations across East Tennessee so you’re bound to find one that’s convenient for your crew. During the Knoxville Moms party, the private room at the Bearden Hill Calhoun’s had a beautifully adorned Christmas tree and other festive decorations so you don’t even have to worry about any prep work. Just show up and party with your people!
There’s yet another holiday time-saving option to consider. Corner 16 is also offering a holiday pack. (It’s part of the Copper Cellar family of restaurants like Calhoun’s.) With a similar menu and pricing, it offers two more additional pickup locations convenient to Northshore Drive and Middlebrook Pike.
As Moms across East Tennessee and beyond are busy making Christmas happen for their families, Knoxville Moms hopes these real-life tested hacks from Calhoun’s will help you check one more thing off the holiday to-do list and allow you to enjoy the magic of the season, too!
