Looking for some Christmas dinner ideas? Come on in and check out our Christmas Dinner Menu and get a free printable menu planner while you’re here!

I thought today would be a great day to share our Christmas Dinner Menu…you know, just in case you want to make something that is on it…you’ll still have time to go shopping.

In reality, our menu doesn’t change much from year to year. We tend to be creatures of habit and we stick to the same family favorites each holiday. Sometimes we throw in a few new recipes, but honestly, it’s usually dessert.

Our main dishes haven’t changed much because they’re so good. And because, we don’t eat them throughout the year, each dish is that much more special during the holiday season. I’m a strong believer in some things staying sacred for the holidays and my Candied Brussels Sprouts are one of them. If I got to eat them all year long, I wouldn’t look forward to them at Christmas!

So, here you go, my friends…Our Christmas Dinner Menu…may it bring you lots of delicious ideas for your own menu!

Our Christmas Dinner Menu

Dinner

Ham

My husband and oldest daughter love ham, but myself and my younger daughter don’t like it. So, we compromise.

Instead of buying a giant ham or turkey, we get a small ham and a small turkey breast for Christmas Dinner. It works out to be about the same price and we each get what we want to eat. Plus, there’s always a ton of leftovers for freezing!

Turkey

Mashed Potatoes

The old stand-by…mashed potatoes. What would Christmas dinner be without the creamy, buttery goodness of mashed potatoes? Gotta have them!

Sweet Potatoes

This is a new one to our Christmas dinner menu, but my oldest daughter has taken a liking to sweet potatoes this past year and she’s requested that we have them with our dinner.

 

Candied Brussels Sprouts

My very favorite Christmas dish…Candied Brussels Sprouts. Even if you think you don’t like these baby cabbages, give them a try. They’re so delicious…they might just convert you!

Sunshine Carrots

I haven’t posted this recipe on here yet, but I’ll try to get it up soon. Sunshine Carrots are a favorite of my husband and daughter. We only have these carrots on Thanksgiving and Christmas, so they look forward to the cheesy goodness all year long.

 

Homemade Bread

Gotta have the bread! If you’re looking for a quick, easy rustic bread recipe that doesn’t require the whole day to prepare – be sure to give this one a try.

 

Dessert

Old Fashioned Trifle

We have an old family recipe for trifle that we serve every year on Christmas. It takes days to make and it’s a special treat we don’t have the rest of the year.

 

Homemade Cookies

While these aren’t exactly dessert, we’ll surely eat too many homemade cookies!

 

Apple Cranberry Cobbler

We usually have an Apple Cranberry Pie, but I’m thinking about switching it up this year and making this delicious Apple Cranberry Cobbler instead.
