A Personal Chef for Your Holiday Dinner — Christmas, New Year's, and Beyond
Stop spending your holiday in the kitchen. A myChef personal chef prepares a festive multi-course dinner for your family and friends while you enjoy every moment of the celebration.
Why Families Choose myChef for Holiday Dinners
The holidays should be about gathering with the people you love — not spending eight hours in a hot kitchen while everyone else relaxes. Every year, someone in the family sacrifices their celebration to cook, serve, and clean. A personal chef changes that dynamic completely: everyone gets to be a guest at their own holiday table.
Whether it's a traditional Brazilian Christmas with chester, tender, and rabanada, a sophisticated Réveillon dinner with seafood and champagne, or an Easter lunch for the whole family, myChef connects you with chefs who know how to honor tradition while elevating every dish. They handle the planning, shopping, cooking, serving, and cleanup — you just show up and celebrate.

How It Works
1
Share Your Holiday Plans
Download the myChef app and tell us about your celebration: which holiday, how many guests, any family traditions or must-have dishes, and dietary restrictions. Want to keep grandma's farofa recipe? Just let the chef know.
2
Choose Your Chef
Receive proposals from chefs experienced in holiday events. Each includes a detailed menu, pricing, and service plan. Read reviews from past holiday clients and pick the chef whose style fits your family's taste.
3
Your Chef Prepares the Feast
On the day, your chef arrives hours early with all ingredients. They prepare everything from scratch in your kitchen — roasting the turkey, assembling the desserts, timing every dish so it's served hot and perfect.
4
Celebrate With Your Family
Sit at the table with everyone else for the first time in years. The chef serves each course, keeps drinks flowing, and after the last plate is cleared, cleans the entire kitchen before leaving.

Real Stories
"For five years, Dona Cláudia spent every Christmas Eve alone in the kitchen of her house in Florianópolis while her 20-person family laughed in the living room. Her daughter decided to surprise her by booking a myChef chef to prepare the entire Christmas dinner — including Dona Cláudia's own chester recipe. "
For the first time in decades, Cláudia sat at the head of the table from start to finish. She cried when the chef served her chester exactly the way she makes it. Her daughter said it was the best gift she ever gave.
"Ricardo and his wife hosted Réveillon for 15 friends at their beach house in Guarujá. In previous years, they'd order pre-made platters that arrived cold and uninspiring. This time, they hired a myChef chef who prepared a live seafood feast — grilling fish and shrimp right on their terrace. "
The midnight countdown happened with everyone still at the table, finishing the best meal they'd had all year. Ricardo said it transformed their annual party from "decent food with great friends" to "incredible food with great friends."
"The Silva family reunion in Goiânia brought 28 relatives together for Christmas lunch. With vegans, kids, and one diabetic grandmother, no single cook could handle the complexity. They booked a myChef chef and assistant who prepared a traditional spread with seamless dietary alternatives. "
Grandma's sugar-free rabanada was so good that everyone wanted her version. The vegan cousins finally had a holiday where they didn't need to bring their own food. The family voted unanimously to hire a chef every Christmas going forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Holiday dates fill up fast. We strongly recommend booking 3-4 weeks before Christmas and Réveillon. Chefs start receiving holiday requests in early November, so the sooner you book, the more options you'll have.
Absolutely. Many clients share family recipes with their chef, who prepares them with professional technique while staying true to the original. Your grandmother's farofa, your mom's rabanada — the chef will honor those traditions.
For 10-15 guests, expect R$2,500-R$6,000 depending on the menu. For 20-30 guests with premium ingredients like lobster or prime rib, R$6,000-R$15,000. Each chef provides transparent pricing before you confirm.
For a dinner served at 8 PM, the chef typically arrives between 3-4 PM to begin preparations. After dessert and cleanup, they usually leave by 11 PM-midnight. For Réveillon dinners, timing is adjusted so everything is ready before the countdown.
Yes. Many Réveillon clients request a full dinner plus a lighter midnight spread — cold cuts, cheese boards, and light bites to enjoy into the early hours. Just mention this when describing your event.
