Christmas Meal Tips

Whether you are a first timer or a pro, review our tips so that you are ready to go on Christmas Day!

Planning in Advance of Christmas

Who is coming for dinner? Whether you are sending out formal invites or calling and texting your family and friends, make sure you know how many adults and kids are coming so you can plan you menu accordingly.

Buy the Christmas products that you will need: Double check your cookware, dinnerware, tablecloths and Christmas decorations and make sure that you have what you need. Do you need more wine glasses, a gravy boat or a serving tray? Shop for new or replacement items in advance. If you will have a kids table, buy a wide roll of paper where you can make a paper runner that doubles as a coloring sheet and a throwaway tablecloth that is easy for cleaning up messes. Get some fun decorations for the kids table too.

Plan your menu: Plan your menu in advance and choose the Christmas Recipes you will make. Here are some tips to help you plan your menu.

If you are unsure where to start, we recommend planning one or two appetizers, one or two main dishes, one potato dish, one or two vegetable dishes, rolls and a few desserts. If you are hosting a large group, then you can add more appetizers, more sides and consider adding a soup or salad. Also plan out your drink offerings, from water, coffee, tea, juices, soft drinks, to wine and cocktails. Here are our specific suggestions per course:

Appetizers

When choosing appetizers, we like to have a mix of healthy and comfort food options, so we always include a raw veggie tray and ranch dressing as a healthy option. You will want to have enough appetizers for each person to get about 3-5 bite-sized servings. We recommend making 2 different appetizers for up to 10 people, and then adding another appetizer dish for each additional 5-10 guests.

Soup and Salads

As your guest list grows, consider adding a soup or a salad or both. Since much of Christmas dishes are heavy, having a light salad is a great addition to your menu.

Main Dishes

While turkey is the star of the show, and ham is the best supporting main dish, you can also have roasted chicken or pot roast as a main dish.

Side Dishes

We always have a potato dish and a vegetable dish (our homemade green bean casserole is a favorite), but it is so easy to add more vegetable dishes with honey glazed carrots and asparagus adding some variety.

Desserts

Plan for at least two or three desserts, so everyone can sample multiple desserts and get a belly full of sweetness.

Say Yes: When your guests ask if they can bring anything. If they ask what they can bring, then give them an assignment from your menu or have them bring a special dish that they love to share for Christmas. For your non-cook friends who offer to help, ask them to bring drinks, including wine or a cocktail to share, a store-bought dish or even flowers for the table.

Plan your Main Dishes: Plan the main dishes you will serve and how much of each you will need. Go ahead and buy these in advance. If turkey is your main dish for Christmas, then plan on about 1.25 lbs. of turkey for each guest. If you are also serving ham, then you can lower the amount of turkey for each person. If you are serving turkey, consider making some turkey gravy and cranberry sauce.

Put up your Winter and Christmas Decor: Make your gathering a little more special by putting up your winter and Christmas decorations! You can even put up a Christmas Selfie Background for you and your guests to use!

Test New Recipes: If you are feeling a little nervous about certain items you have on your menu, give them a test run and see how it goes, so that your Christmas is a little less stressful.

Stock your Pantry in Advance: Make sure that you buy what you need for Christmas dinner a couple of weeks in advance for non-perishable items, as some of them will be sold out in your local grocery store a day or two before Christmas. Don’t forget these items that are often forgotten for Christmas: cranberries, spices you will need for your recipes, napkins, and beverages.

A Few Days Before Christmas

Finish Shopping for Christmas: Now is the time to get your fresh produce for your Christmas menu including, potatoes, salad greens, fresh veggies, and fruit. Do you need more ice? If so, add that to your list.

Make More Ice: Another option instead of buying ice is to make more ice in your freezer and store it in your freezer in advance of Christmas.

Prepare the Pie Crusts: If you are making homemade pies – which you should – then make the pie crusts in advance and wrap the dough in plastic wrap and keep it in your fridge for a few days.

Defrost the Turkey: If you have purchased a frozen turkey, then defrost it in your refrigerator up to three days in advance of cooking it so it is ready to go on Christmas.

Make a Plan, Cooking Schedule and Checklist for Christmas: Don’t wait, it gets so busy the day before Christmas to get a plan, cooking timeline and checklist made. Make sure you know what Christmas Recipes you are cooking, what others are bringing. Think through cooking times for each item and how you will use your stovetop, oven, microwave, slow cooker, etc. to get each dish cooked and ready to go by your desired mealtime. It really helps to create a cooking schedule that you can use on Christmas. For example, if your dinner is at 2pm, then your schedule might include putting the turkey in a 10am to give it 3.5 hours to cook and 30 minutes to carve it to have it ready by 2pm. Bake the potato and green bean casseroles at 12:30pm, so they are out at 1:30pm, so you can keep them warm and then bake the rolls from 1:45pm to 2pm. When creating your schedule, it helps to overestimate the time you will need to get everything done so that you can handle any unexpected challenges on Christmas Day.

The Day Before Christmas

Bake the Desserts: This is an easy win to lower the amount of work on Christmas by baking your desserts the day before. If you are including some cookies or candy, a little test sampling for extra energy is highly advised!

Prepare the Sides for Baking Tomorrow: If there is any prep work you can do in advance for side dishes, do that today. Cut any vegetables in advance so that you don’t have to do that work on the big day.

Make or Prepare the Appetizers: Many appetizers can be made in advance and if needed, heated up on Christmas.

Set the Table(s): Save time on Christmas by setting the dinnerware, silverware, and stemware the day before. Make sure you have room for all the serving dishes you are planning. It helps to set out all the serving dishes on the table in advance and label them with each dish. Don’t forget a dish for the rolls! If you have a kids table, make it fun with the decorations and paper tablecloth if you want.

Chill the Beverages: Make sure any wine, champagne, or other adult beverages are chilled and ready to go, but also chill any juices and soft drinks so that you don’t have to use so much ice.

Setup a Self-Serve Beverage Station: You will be busy enough on Christmas Day, so save some time, by allowing your guests to serve themselves the beverage of their choice. Make sure you have plenty of ice available for them.

Make the Day Before into a Party: Don’t go it alone on the day before Christmas! Invite a few friends and/or a few family members over the night before to bake the pies and desserts, prepare the sides for cooking tomorrow and set the table. Many hands make light work. You can even order and enjoy some delivered pizza for a job well done, because let’s be honest, you’ve done enough cooking at this point.

CHristmas Day

It is the big day, so make it an awesome experience for you and your guests!

Fuel Up: Take some time for yourself to fuel up with breakfast and coffee to get energized for the day!

Review the Plan and Checklist: Take some time after breakfast to review your plan and checklist and make sure you know when every Christmas Recipe that you are cooking goes into the slow cooker, onto the stovetop, in the microwave and in the oven. Set timers and alarms to keep yourself on track.

Get the Slow Cooker Going: Get the slow cooker recipe(s) going early so they will be ready on time.

Start Cooking the Turkey: Most turkeys take several hours to cook, so keep to your plan and get the turkey in the oven on time. It can take 3-4 hours to cook a 15 lb. turkey, so get it going early as well.

Time for the Side Dishes: Now is the time to start working on the side dishes, like the stuffing or mashed potatoes, etc. If they are ready ahead of time, then keep them warm in the oven, warming tray or a slow cooker.

Start the Instant Pot: If you have some recipes that cook fast in the Instant Pot, then get them going now to be ready on time.

Appetizer Time: Now work to get your appetizers ready. Hopefully, it is just setting them out for your hungry crowd or warming them up if needed first.

Don’t forget the Rolls: Last, but not least, when everything is about ready, put the rolls in the oven to get them done when everything else is done.

Final Details: Carve the turkey in the kitchen not at the table to have more room and not make a mess on the table, serve the wine, make sure all the dishes are on the table with the proper serving utensils and ready to go. Then, relax and enjoy the time with your guests!

Say Yes to Help Cleaning Up and Doing the Dishes: Again, if your family and friends ask to help, say yes to them. We have had some of our best times working side by side with friends and family and keeping the conversation going.
