Many establishments open on the evening of the 24th with fixed menus, full service, and air conditioning, which completely eliminates the need to cook at home. Besides avoiding the heat, going out for a meal allows for a different experience, without household chores or cleaning up afterward, and provides the chance to share the evening more relaxedly. Ultimately, whether at a diner, on the grill, with takeout, or at a restaurant, it's possible to enjoy a hot menu on Christmas Eve without turning the kitchen into an oven. Sizzling platters are becoming increasingly present at informal gatherings, allowing one to prepare meats, vegetables, and even pasta with hot sauces without affecting the indoor temperature. Besides avoiding heating up the kitchen, summer nights like Christmas Eve are ideal for cooking in the garden and enjoying the pool at the same time. Additionally, many options include traditional meals adapted for the occasion, from baked meats to stuffed pastas. Dining out at a restaurant is another increasingly chosen alternative. Meats, offal, grilled vegetables, and even cheeses or stuffed breads can make up a complete and festive menu without complications. For those who prefer to avoid cooking altogether, a growing option is to order hot food for takeout. The methods are varied, but the key is always in planning. Christmas Eve often coincides with periods of intense heat, which makes the idea of turning on the oven or microwave for hours less appealing. However, sharing a hot dish remains a ritual in many homes, especially at family dinners that extend until midnight. Santa Claus anticipated Christmas with children and listeners in Colegiales. In that context, as reported by the Argentine News Agency, cooking outside the kitchen appears as the first great solution. The key is to choose the option that best suits each family and the summer climate. Another classic alternative is the grill, which not only avoids the heat indoors but also adds flavor and practicality. Buenos Aires, December 18 (NA) - Although due to high temperatures, typical of December, many families opt for cold dishes on the Christmas table, there are alternatives to enjoy hot food without adding heat to the home environment. Diners, food houses, and gastronomic ventures usually offer special Christmas Eve menus ready to take out and serve.
