The holiday season has arrived, and two Austin–area restaurants are getting into the yuletide spirit with a seasonal collaborative dinner event. VOX Table, the New American restaurant opening at the beginning of 2015 in the Lamar Union community complex in South Austin, and Noble Sandwich Co., Central Texas’ popular gourmet sandwich eatery, will host A Very VOX Holiday @ Noble Sandwich Co.

And in the true spirit of the holiday season, portions of the proceeds from the dinner event will benefit the local Toys for Tots charity.
