Our Simple Christmas Dinner Menu

 

Praline Brie served with fruit and crackers Wassail

Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish Cream Sauce

Loaded Smashed Potatoes

Apple Pear Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette

Ambrosia

Peppermint Chocolate Cake

Coconut Cream Pie Hot Chocolate or Coffee Thankfully, this menu comes together really easily! I’m all about spending Christmas Day enjoying time with my family and not in the kitchen cooking while they are in another room playing. Most items can be prepared in advance, even up to a few days, and then warmed or assembled right before serving. Otherwise, items like the beef tenderloin really require little hands on time and you simply just have to remember to start the oven or smoker in plenty of time for the meat to cook. What are you planning on serving for your big Christmas meal? Do you make items ahead of time? Do guests bring dishes?
