The most challenging aspect of organizing Christmas celebrations isn’t holiday decorating or figuring out how to wrap gifts, so they look nice. It’s working on the dinner menu.
It must be tasty and accompanied by at least a few festive and hearty sides. Here, we’ve compiled our five all-time favorite recipes so you can make a family-pleasing meal worthy of the occasion.
Not sure where to start?
Begin by selecting the centerpiece of the table (the main course), such as the Christmas turkey.
For white meat lovers, a smaller gathering, or if you have multiple meat dishes, try turkey breast. It deviates from tradition while still ensuring that there is something for everyone.
Roast beef, or even beef stew, is sure to please.
Alternatively, you could follow in our unconventional footsteps and prepare an exquisite meal with A gorgeous Christmas salmon, a wild-caught that’s fit for a seafood crowd.
Once you’ve decided on your main course, there are a plethora of creative Christmas appetizers, Christmas side dishes, and casserole recipes to round out your cozy winter meal.
Wild rice with dried cranberries and cornbread stuffing are two favorites.
Don’t forget about the refreshments: Christmas cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks.
Using these tried-and-true Christmas menu ideas will make holiday entertaining more effortless than ever. It’s all you need—along with your favorite Christmas playlist and a delicious spread of Christmas desserts!
