30+ Christmas Recipes for your Holiday Table

1

roasted leg of lamb

This is the only lamb recipe I need. I’ve made it multiple times, no need to change any of it. I get so many compliments from anyone who tries it. Simply delicious!

-Jessica

2

pull apart garlic bread wreath

Great recipe! I’ve made it twice and stuffed it with a bit of mozzarella each time. I used the Damn Delicious pizza dough recipe and all in it took about an hour or so. Awesome crowd pleaser!

-Baker K

3

cinnamon sugar candied nuts

This is my favorite recipe! So easy to make and so delicious. They’re so good, in fact, that my in-law’s determined they’re the only thing I absolutely have to bring to holiday dinners. This will be the 4th year I’m bringing them to Thanksgiving.

-Morgan

4

easy brown sugar ham

OMG! This was Hands Down THE BEST ham I have EVER made! Only thing I did different is I used oranges instead of pineapple (that’s all I had). This will be the only way I make ham from now on.

-Nicole

5

sugared cranberries

Love these and so simple and easy to make. I added cinnamon to this already perfect recipe. They were scrumptious.

-Teresa

6

candied yams

Took these to my office Thanksgiving. The sweet potatoes were delicious and everyone raved about them. Now sharing the recipe.

-Nicole

7

creamy potato gratin

This was a hit at Thanksgiving dinner and easy to make. Made it in the afternoon and popped it into the oven in the evening when we were ready to eat. The leftovers still tasted amazing just warmed up in the microwave.

-Divya

8

sheet pan holiday dinner

I’ve since made this recipe almost monthly during cooler months. Love that I can make this for two or for six people and it’s done within 30 minutes.

-Jessica

9

easy homemade toffee

I’ve made this every year since 2019 and it’s always turned out perfectly. Sometimes I leave the nuts out (my kids prefer it without nuts) and sometimes I use them, but either way it always turns out perfect. A huge hit among our family and friends.

-Karli

10

classic deviled eggs

Excellent recipe! I made these for Easter and they loved them. Every recipe I’ve made from Damn Delicious has been top notch!

-Keri

11

roasted turkey breast

I made this for my first go at hosting Thanksgiving for my family and I am SO PROUD of how it turned out. Possibly the most delicious Thanksgiving turkey I’ve ever had. Make this. Immediately. So good.

maple pecan baked brie

This was so good and decadent! It was the perfect Christmas appetizer. Everyone gobbled it up! Will definitely do again.

-Julie

13

Garlic Rosemary Beef Tenderloin

Disclaimer: I’m not a great cook. But this recipe made my family think I am! We had it for Christmas last year and we’re making it again this year. It’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Perfection.

-Kathy

14

sweet corn spoonbread

Literally the BEST cornbread on the planet! I’ve been using this recipe for a couple of years and actually get requests to make it for family gatherings. THANK YOU for this amazingly delicious recipe!!

-Malene

15

cranberry orange sauce

I’ve been making this recipe for many years and always double it. With the leftovers I make an amazing cranberry loaf and freeze that!

-Kathleen

16

Maple Bacon Cheddar Biscuits

Excellent recipe! Very easy to make and taste delicious. I was so happy to see the layers and get the height on the biscuits! I saved several in the freezer for Christmas and know my children will love them.

-Maria

17

apple cider donuts

These are absolutely perfect! One of my big gripes with many fried donut recipes is the dough is too dry, which results in a dense interior. Not so with this recipe. Yes the dough is a bit sticky, but a good dusting of flour on your hands or rolling pin and it is manageable. And the finished donuts are great – crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside. I will definitely make again!

-Heidi

Sheet Pan Scalloped Potatoes

I made this for our Easter meal and it was wonderful. Super easy and clean up was simple. Nothing stuck to the pan. Everyone wanted the recipe.

-Jenny

19

Brussels Sprouts Gratin

Only Chungah can take a veggie I can take or leave and make me LOVE IT! These brussels sprouts are so delicious, I could eat them forever and that’s really saying something because my mother loves plain, boiled brussels sprouts and served them a lot when I was a kid. Not very appetizing so it really took some courage for me to try them as an adult. Fortunately Chungah did not let me down. I plan to add this dish to my holiday table, it’s that good. Brilliant combination of bacon, thyme and nutmeg!

-Robin

Easy Skillet Dinner Rolls

Omg these are the most amazing, delicious rolls I’ve ever had. My husband could not stop talking about these. I’m making them again for Christmas dinner.

-Erin

21

Garlic Rosemary Lamb Chops

Made these last night and they were a hit! Loved the marinade—totally added flavor. I normally just season and put them under the broiler, but the marinade and searing them on the stove brought it to another level. 
-Cassie

22

Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins

My husband and I loved this. He said that it was the best thing I’ve ever baked and to make sure I keep the recipe. They are so addictive!

-Jade

23

Garlic Herb Carrots

I made these carrots for Easter and they were amazing!!! My whole family raved about them. I usually roast my carrots, but not anymore! Thanks for another stellar recipe!!!

-Jackie

24

slow cooker holiday ham

This is a very easy and tasty recipe. The ham was so moist and the orange zest and marmalade gave it that sweet pungent tang. Just the two of us. Christmas dinner. Ham and eggs for breakfast. Ham and cheese for lunch. The bone will be a base for bean soup. Thank you for an easy and fun recipe!

-Alphredo

25

Green Bean Casserole with Crispy Fried Shallots

I saw this recipe and thought…OMG this sounds delicious so I made it for my family that year for Thanksgiving. The only tweak I made was mixed up the mushrooms a bit…shiitakes & portabellas…whatever fresh mushrooms looked best at the market. The family loved it SO MUCH that I was asked to make it again for Christmas. This has now become a family staple for both holidays. Thank you so much for bringing this deliciousness to our table.

-Amy

Red and Green Chicken Enchiladas

Easy, quick and damn delicious!

-Elena

27

Mini Hasselback Potatoes

I would give these 10 stars, if I could! These were the perfect size, and THAT SAUCE! Oh my, the sauce was so delicious! Like others, I used the spoon method to slice the little guys. It was so easy, as these fit in a soup spoon and slice perfectly.

-Jostlori

28

Apple Cranberry Pecan Salad

Lovely, refreshing salad! The little bit of extra work making the candied pecans is definitely worth it!

-Elizabeth

29

easy creamed corn

This is so easy and delicious! I could just drink the sauce. I bring this to Thanksgiving and any large gathering. Everyone loves it!

-Meg

WINTER CHEESE BOARD

These are excellent. Perfect for a dinner party and holiday meal. Used large carrots cut up and dried rosemary and thyme, no fresh herbs, and still came out amazing.

-Emily

32

How to Make Perfect Mashed Potatoes

These are the best mashed potatoes! Such a simple addition, garlic cloves in the potatoes, but makes a huge difference in the taste.

-Barbara

33

sheet pan chicken and stuffing

Made this with some green bean casserole for a mini Christmas dinner since I’m in a tiny Airbnb kitchen on vacation. It was amazing and a perfect way to make two things at once!

Leftover Hambone Soup

This really is the best leftover hambone soup! I’ve been making it for a few years now, usually just once a year after Easter. But, if I happen to get my hands on a ham bone from friends or family, this is the only thing I make with it!
