The clock is ticking and Christmas is almost here! Whether you still have shopping to do or have everything ready to go, you can always add a little more to the festivities with delicious food and drinks. Celebrating the holidays might look different from years past, but I suggest making great food that sets the tone for a memorable meal. Get out your nice dishes, add name plates and have fun!
Add a few of these items to your menu for your holiday celebrations.
Appetizers
Charcuterie boards are all the rage. Depending on how many people you are expecting. I also recommend a smaller appetizer such as a veggie platter. Here’s a little inspiration for you!
Main
Traditional Christmas dinners usually call for a turkey. I am still not ready to make one of those birds on my own. We plan to serve steaks Christmas Eve and I’m all about recreating a good steak house recipe. You can’t go wrong with eating tamales for the holidays. If you’re up for the challenge, give these vegetarian recipe a try.
Sides
Vegetables are so delicious and really make the best sides! Get in your greens while still splurging a little with this Broccoli Casserole Recipe. I am also a huge fan of Brussel Sprouts, I highly recommend adding this dish to your menu. Oh, and please don’t forget to add a salad. Choose between a Caesar, a traditional garden salad or this Christmas Salad with Citrus-Champagne Vinaigrette . Whatever you choose will be fantastic!
Desserts
I am a huge fan of holiday treats, I mean isn’t that something we all look forward to? Well, I feel that a sugar cookie is a staple for Christmas. Give this gluten-free sugar cookie recipe a try or go for a more traditional recipe by clicking here. If you are craving chocoloate
Drinks
Colorful drinks really add a fun splash of color to any setting. Give this Cranberry Margarita recipe a try! The good news is it only calls for four ingredients! Stir up a Shirley Temple for people of all ages.
I love a festive holiday celebration and it sure is worth it to put forth the extra details for others. Don’t let me fool you, I am not ready for Christmas. ! still need info to wrap presents, but I know that Aaron and I will get that task complete in the nick of time.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
