Entropy89 · 12-24-2022, 04:20 PM

Wondering what everyones favorite holiday meals are. Mine is lasagna and cioppino and I look forward to it every year and its been a tradition in my family for generations.

Pot roast (which we're making right now), stollen (from Aldi), and sides we don't have often.

Esteban · 12-24-2022, 04:35 PM

Tacos. Rice and beans, guacamole and chips, which we’ll be having tomorrow.

ASAP · 12-24-2022, 04:43 PM

Turkey of course!

1. Cornflake wreaths
2. Classic candy
3. Thumbprint cookies

Real food? Hmmm. Not sure.

Not sure? But it’s the day before.

egg nog, wassail and we get sent a couple large danish kringles that are quickly becoming a tradition. Mom makes Christmas bread and likes to serve orange slices for breakfast.

Bacon wrapped water chestnuts
Beef wellington
Brie with some topping and crackers

SW111 · 12-24-2022, 08:33 PM

Potato soup with bacon. Fresh homemade bread. It been a Christmas Eve tradition in my family since before I was born.

Sounds great! I’ve never had stollen before but I’ve seen it in Aldi during the holidays.

A lot of people I know have turkey. I think my week of eating turkey during Thanksgiving is enough to make me wait a year for more haha

Wassail and danish kringle sound like a great combination!

I always wanted to make beef wellington, definitely on my list of things to try.

Sounds fantastic!

RichF90M5C · 12-25-2022, 04:16 AM

Turkey with all the trimmings, of course!

Buug959 · 12-25-2022, 05:34 AM

My family's traditional Christmas Eve is fondue. We have oil for the meat and seafood, cheese of course and also a chocolate pot. Our doors are always open to all friends and family and the pots are kept busy all evening, often 'til 2 or 3am. Oh and there's always lots of Christmas cheer flowing too.

Happy Holidays to all.

2000cs · 12-25-2022, 09:23 AM

When I had family I used to make something nice but different each year, like Capons (Cornish Game Hens), 7 bone roast (prime rib), etc. Others took care of the sides. A duck would be fun to do, and maybe a beef Wellington another year. Turkey is for thanksgiving, and ham for Easter (although I did make one for Christmas once).

Now it is usually just the two of us and one is vegetarian, so pretty low key.

evil-G-nius · 12-25-2022, 03:39 PM

Typically my family does seafood gumbo for Christmas. This year, since its just me & my wife, we are going to have shrimp & grits! Last night we had my aunt & uncle over and we had crab stuffed salmon with roasted broccoli & roasted potatoes

Its only my wife and daughter these days but we still do full meals. It makes meal prep much easier for the next week haha. I much prefer quieter holidays, big family gatherings are fun but tend to be a lot.
