Planning holiday meals in Orlando can be a challenge for families who keep kosher-style or simply want food that reflects Jewish tradition without the stress of cooking for a crowd. With Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, and Chanukah all arriving over the next few months, here is what Central Florida families should know about ordering kosher-style holiday catering this season.
Rosh Hashanah 2026: Order Early
Rosh Hashanah begins the evening of Friday, September 11, 2026. This is one of the busiest catering weekends of the year, and popular menu items sell out quickly. Sage Catering’s Rosh Hashanah menu includes individual dishes as well as a complete holiday package for six people — brisket, roasted chicken, honey cake, and traditional sides — so you can spend the holiday with family instead of in the kitchen.
Popular Rosh Hashanah dishes include:
- Brisket and roasted chicken
- Chicken soup with potato krepalach
- Honey cake and apple strudel
- Round challah and traditional sides
Sukkot: Sharing Meals Outdoors
Sukkot follows shortly after, running from September 25 through October 2, 2026. Many families host meals in a sukkah, which often means simpler, sturdier dishes that travel well and hold up outdoors — braised meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty salads. If you are hosting friends or family in your sukkah this year, Sage Catering can prepare a full menu that arrives ready to serve.
Chanukah 2026: Fried Favorites
Chanukah runs from December 4 through 12, 2026. Beyond the classics like latkes and sufganiyot, we prepare full holiday spreads for Chanukah parties, office celebrations, and family gatherings across Orlando, Winter Park, Maitland, and the surrounding areas.
What “Kosher-Style” Means for Your Holiday Table
All of our holiday menus are prepared kosher-style: kosher-certified ingredients, kosher meats, and strict separation between meat and dairy. Our kitchen is not under continuous rabbinical supervision, so these meals are not certified kosher for guests who require full hashgacha. For events that need certified supervision, we can coordinate Glatt Kosher or Chalav Yisroel catering through our certified partners — read more on our kosher-style catering page or check our FAQ for common questions about kosher-style versus certified kosher.
Visiting Orlando for the Holidays?
If you are traveling to Orlando for Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, or Chanukah and staying in a hotel or vacation villa, see our kosher meal delivery page — we deliver complete holiday meals to Disney-area hotels, Kissimmee, Lake Buena Vista, and villas throughout Central Florida.
