Decorating The Christmas Dinner Table
Mike Garten
There's a lot that goes into planning the ultimate Christmas: You decorate a Christmas tree, wrap presents and sort through your family's favorite recipes to organize your menu full of Christmas side dishes, appetizers and of course, Christmas desserts! With these straightforward (and tasty!) ideas, you'll have all the info and inspo you need to put together the best Christmas dinner ideas.
Whether you're looking for alternative recipe ideas to shake things up, smaller portion sizes for an intimate gathering or the perfect traditional Christmas dinner, it's super simple to build a meal that everyone will enjoy. We even shuffled in a few meat-free mains if you've got vegetarian family members in town!
Maybe you're hosting your first holiday and wondering what to serve? A great roast is a good place to start — and we rounded up our best ham and roast beef recipes that totally double as festive centerpieces. Since even the most delicious meaty main needs some support, there are plenty of side dishes that go with ham, beef or even turkey (that's right — the bird isn't just for Thanksgiving!). Plus, we collected our best-ever desserts to end your meal on the right note. So just pick out your favorite ideas, write out your menu and enjoy the rest of the holiday season stress-free and so ready to feast.

Beef Wellington
This dish looks seriously impressive, but it's a lot easier to make than you'd think! To keep the puff pastry crisp on the outside, the beef inside gets wrapped in flavorful prosciutto spread with duxelles (a mixture of mushrooms, shallots and thyme).

Snowy S'mores
Place graham squares on a baking sheet; top with chocolate and marshmallow snowmen (such as Peeps). Broil until golden, sprinkle with crushed candy canes and sandwich with another graham. Stack if desired.

One-Pot French Onion Soup
Slow-cooked, caramelized onions and fresh thyme give this classic soup its winning flavor. Topped with tons of grated cheese, you'll want seconds (and thirds!).
