It’s the most wonderful time of the year — and the kitchen is where the Christmas magic happens! These festive recipes will bring comfort, joy, and plenty of flavor to your holiday table. Start your morning with some sourdough discard pancakes or a ham and cheese frittata for a cozy Christmas breakfast that feels extra special. Before dinner gets started, share our amazing charcuterie tree for a stunning appetizer that doubled as a party centerpiece. When it’s time for the main event, your guests will love a beautifully tender Dr. Pepper ham or sirloin tip roast and both are effortless, full of flavor, and guaranteed to make your house smell amazing.
Every great Christmas dinner deserves sides that shine, and these are sure to steal the spotlight. Our creamy Instant Pot mashed potatoes is a real hands off, timesaving recipe, while our baked sweet potatoes add just the right touch of sweetness and color to your plate. Don’t forget some golden Bisquick cheddar biscuits because they’re flakey, buttery, and perfect for soaking up every last drop of gravy. These easy dishes make holiday cooking feel joyful instead of stressful, so you can enjoy the fun right along with your guests.
And once the gifts are unwrapped and the laughter fills the room, it’s time to bring out the festive treats! Share some apple pie cinnamon rolls (jut 2 ingredients!) or M&M cookies for a nostalgic favorite that’s perfect for cookie swaps or leaving out for Santa. With these recipes, your Christmas menu will sparkle with warmth, flavor, and that special homemade holiday spirit.
