This Christmas, in a bid to offer its customers a hassle-free and cost-effective Christmas, IKEA is opening up its roomsets for customers to host a Christmas meal.
With the ability to host up to five others, those who book a roomset will enjoy a free, fully prepared and utterly delicious IKEA Christmas dinner. The package is complete with festive décor, a choice of classic turkey, a veggie alternative or classic IKEA meatballs, each served with all the traditional trimmings – and most importantly no washing up.
Hosting Christmas can be costly, not to mention the time and effort spent doing everything from cooking to cleaning to making beds for those staying over. New research* found that on average, UK hosts spent 36 hours away from friends and family during the festive period last year. As a result, a quarter (24%) have opted out of hosting this year. For many others, hosting is not even a possibility, with more than a quarter (27%) saying they don’t have the space to entertain their loved ones.
On Thursday 7th and Friday 8th December, the Greenwich and Edinburgh stores will give guests the host-free Christmas they deserve! Available to book for up to two hours of festive fun, the new package from IKEA will include a two-course IKEA Christmas dinner, IKEA dessert and unlimited soft drinks.
On the menu, customers can pick from either classic turkey with sage & onion stuffing, a plant-based offering featuring a flavoursome festive butternut squash, lentil & almond wellington or go full IKEA and order meatballs. All dishes are served with crispy roast potatoes, parsnips, peas, red cabbage and gravy. Choose from the chocolate clementine bomb, vegan caramelised cheesecake or strawberry flavour jelly for a sweet treat.

Jing Li, Store Manager, IKEA Greenwich says: “Christmastime is all about coming together with loved ones and spending quality time together. However, lots of people don’t have a big enough space to host and those who do can be left missing out on a lot of the festivities. We’re hopeful that by opening up our roomsets for some festive fun gives families the chance to sit back and relax whilst we take care of the rest.”
