Elwing follows the seasons and offers seasonal menus for all times of year, including Christmas. Pickled herrings, hand-rolled meatballs, Christmas ham, vegetable dishes and Christmas cheeses are just a few of the festive foods they offer. They also strive to make their catering as kind to the environment as possible and they have their own tag, “Carefully selected”, for products that have one or more certifications. 

Prima Catering serves a specially composed julbord, either classic or vegetarian. You can also order a Christmas platter or nibbles for your Christmas cocktail party. Their Christmas buffet is served from the middle of November up until Christmas Eve.

This year, Eatery is focusing this year on a Swedish-Nordic julbord featuring pickled herring, ham, and meatballs, as well as Finnish carrot casserole and Danish smørrebrød. When it comes to catering, there are a variety of options to choose from, ranging from a full-scale Christmas buffet to Christmas breakfast, fika, Christmas platters, and drinks parties. All you need to do is provide the address and your wishes, and they'll take care of the rest. All packages can be made vegetarian, and they also offer completely tailormade arrangements.

Popular Urban Deli offers festive catering in their own unique style, which means the pickled herring has exciting flavourings and the ham is omitted to make room for hot-smoked rainbow trout, pastrami, and other delicious items. You can also add, among other things, spiced bread and dessert. Urban Deli's Christmas buffet is suitable for both lunch and dinner, at the office or at home, and can be ordered at least three days in advance until the 23rd of December.

Restaurang Asplund has a classic catering julbord which works equally for corporate events as family celebrations. The buffet includes everything from pickled herring and salmon to meatballs, Janssons Temptation, cheeses and desserts. You can also tailormake your own buffet from Asplund's Christmas menu, and pick up the food from the restaurant. 

Annorlunda Catering puts a special emphasis on green options, but also offers traditional Swedish julbord buffets. If you choose the vegetarian version, you can expect everything from aubergine “pickled herring” and festive salads to beetroot and lentil balls and potato casserole with mushrooms and onions, while the classic version includes fish, cold cuts, hot dishes and sweets. They also offer catering for Christmas platters, and for an extra fee, they can decorate your Christmas table with spruce branches, lanterns, and other decorations.

The chefs at Melanders have been rolling meatballs, curing salmon and pickling herring; all so that you can avoid the Christmas stress and instead enjoy the magic of the season, good company, and delicious food. They offer a traditional Christmas julbord with both gravlax and beetroot salad and ham with cognac mustard. All, naturally, made from scratch with top quality ingredients. The Christmas buffet can be delivered right up until Christmas Eve. 

Order everything from a classic Christmas buffet to Christmas platters and festive mingling with homemade dishes from the catering company Carotte. They aim to offer a plentiful and traditional Christmas buffet that also surprises with some new flavours.

For groups that prefer a plant-based julbord, Hermans - one of Stockholm's most well-established vegetarian restaurants - offers catering. Choose between their large and small buffets with vegetarian and vegan options inspired by typical Christmas favourites.
