Christmas Dinner Menu Recipes and Ideas

Some people say that no Christmas dinner menu is complete without serving a big delicious and juicy honey baked ham. Since I am a big fan of pork, particularly ham, I'd have to say I agree. Baked ham has become a holiday staple in my house.

In addition to honey baked ham, a Traditional Christmas dinner also includes side dishes such as mashed potatoes, dressing, candied yams, deviled eggs, cranberry sauce, gravy, and some delicious desserts.

This year your Christmas menu should include all of the Christmas recipes I mentioned above for one good reason. At this point you're probably wondering why you should include the recipes I mention on this page. Because these are the tried and true traditional holiday recipes favorites that people have grown to love and expect to see on anyone's dinner table.
