Everybody’s always talking about the night before Christmas, but what about the morning after?

No one wants to wake up on the 25th to a sink full of dishes, empty bottles of wine, and Christmas crackers in shambles on the hardwood, but we all want to live it up before Saint Nick makes a stop at our homes.

Luckily, there are some Vancouver restaurants serving delicious dinners on the 24th, so you can move your Christmas Eve dinner party to one of these venues and live it up with no fear of having to clean up the aftermath of the ‘night before’ festivities.

Here are 11 Vancouver restaurants serving Christmas Eve dinner.
