The lunch will encourage 40 guests who are new to London to bring a dish, drink and their Christmas traditions to a large apartment in a converted chocolate factory in London Bridge.
All proceeds from the event will be donated to Crisis. Airbnb has also partnered with minicab app Kabbee to provide transport for guests when the capital’s transport system is closed on Christmas day.
Holly Clarke, acting country manager at Airbnb UK, said: "We want to achieve an environment where, whoever you are and wherever you are in the world, you feel at home. Being away from your friends and family shouldn’t mean that you miss out on a great Christmas.
"Working with Grub Club has created an excellent opportunity to create a home-from-home experience that really brings London’s global community together."
Olivia Sibony, co-founder of Grub Club, added: "BYOC exemplifies what Grub Club is all about – bringing people together to share great experiences over food. And what better time to do that than on Christmas Day?
"Rather than sitting at home, stuck in a festive rut, BYOC is a chance to break the boring Christmas traditions for a feast to remember. We are excited to be teaming up with Airbnb, who have really changed the face of travel by bringing a community spirit back to its heart."
