We are traveling from London to Paris on the Eurostar in December. How can I book a legit hotel transfer without waiting for a taxi or taking the metro?

You don’t need to wait for a taxi. There will be plenty of taxi’s waiting in line at the official taxi stand at Gare du Nord where your train will arrive.
Btw, you also won’t need to wait long if you take the metro. They run every few minutes.

Meeting up with a transfer service at that train station is next to impossible. I’ve done it once and I will never even try again. It’s not set up for this. Just go to the taxi stations.

Thank you for the information. We will definitely take a taxi.

Make sure your taxi driver starts the meter when he leaves the station. If he tries to tell you it’s a flat rate, it’s not. And there are no surcharges for anything, be it a late hour or Sunday or anything else except if you have more than 4 people in your party.
Unfortunately the Gare du Nord is notorious for dishonest cab drivers. Knowledge is power.
