When Christmas approaches, some people rush to the kitchen—pots dancing, oven burning, recipes scattered everywhere. Yet others choose something smarter, more peaceful, more joyful: letting Mercadona cook for them. This year, Mercadona has officially announced the dates for pre-ordering its special ready-to-eat Christmas menus—and believe me, it’s a holiday lifesaver.
Starting Monday, November 24, 2025, customers will be able to reserve their Christmas meals at any Mercadona store equipped with the “Listo para Comer” section. The time window runs until just a few days before Christmas Eve (Nochebuena) and New Year’s Eve (Nochevieja). It’s simple. It’s convenient. It’s delicious.
Because Christmas should be about laughs, gathering, and that warm feeling of home—not exhaustion from cooking for twenty guests.
🎄 A Taste of Tradition: Appetizers & Cold Dishes for Sharing
To begin with, Mercadona brings back its beloved assortment of canapés, crafted precisely for festive moments. Imagine placing on your table seven elegant tartlets, each filled with flavors that feel like a small gift:
-
Garlic prawn
-
Sobrasada with honey and pine nuts
-
Foie cream with caramelized apple and egg threads
-
Pickled mussel cream
-
Goat cheese and caramelized onion
-
Stilton with crispy mango
-
Truffled cheese with cured beef
In addition, two varieties of rolled bread bites join the party:
one with surimi and prawns, and the other a classic: smoked salmon with soft white cheese.
But that’s not all… Because besides the canapés, Mercadona also offers a luxurious seafood salad—a mix of crab sticks, hake, prawns, silky mayonnaise, and egg threads. Just the perfect starter for those who dream of a seaside Christmas, even while staying warm at home.
Transitioning into choices, the brand understands that celebrations come in different shapes and sizes: quiet dinners for two, lively reunions with the whole family… and good food fits every moment.
If you’re thinking: “That sounds heavenly—should I order now?”
Yes. Because these holiday menus are famous for selling out quickly.
🔥 The Warm Heart of Christmas: Main Dishes Prepared with Care
Now — furthermore — comes the absolute star of the Mercadona Christmas offer: hot dishes, designed to taste like family recipes passed from generation to generation, yet without spending hours in the kitchen.
Here’s what you can order:
🍗 Stuffed Chicken Thigh with Truffle Sauce
Filled with minced chicken, foie, prunes, shallots, pancetta, and black truffle. Served with delicious truffled mashed potatoes.
🥩 Stewed Beef Cheeks
Tender, slow-cooked, paired with roasted potatoes and confit onions. Comforting. Juicy. Irresistible.
🍖 Roasted Suckling Lamb Shoulder
With traditional panadera potatoes and confit onions.
Soft meat that falls from the bone… truly a celebration centerpiece.
🐖 Quarter of Roasted Suckling Pig
Crispy skin, silky texture, potatoes and onions completing the holiday magic.
Each dish arrives ready to heat and serve. No stress. No chaos. Just holiday joy.
And here is the truth: cooking these meals at home requires hours of marinating, roasting, and monitoring. But Mercadona gives the same quality — or even better — while letting you relax and enjoy one more moment with your loved ones.
Because, ultimately, good food tastes better when the cook is not exhausted.
⭐ Exclusive Offer in Some Stores: Mini Spanish Tortillas
Moreover, if you’re in the Valencian Community, Mercadona has a special surprise:
mini potato tortillas with three gourmet fillings:
-
Caramelized onion, sobrasada with honey, and goat cheese
-
Grana Padano flakes with cured beef
-
Boletus mushrooms, truffle, and beef cheeks
A snack so Spanish, so festive — and so convenient — that every guest will feel spoiled.
Before ordering, customers should check availability in their local Mercadona, since the assortment varies by store. But one thing is certain: options will be too delicious to resist.

Christmas dinners are not judged by how many hours you spent sweating in the kitchen,
but by how warmly you looked into the eyes of the people you love.
So instead of chopping, frying, roasting, and washing endless dishes…
choose the path that gives you more hugs, more laughter, more peace.
