It’s honestly so hard for me to narrow down what recipes I want to make every time the holidays roll around. There are so many amazing festive recipes that I wish I could have them all! However, there’s only so much time during the winter season since it can be quite busy. So I chose the best of the best recipes to make the holidays a hit.

For a main course, I often serve ham and turkey. I go back and forth whether I want ham or turkey on any holiday; it’s a hard decision! Either way, I have included some of my favorites like glazed ham, herb roasted turkey and a spectacular ham with pineapple and cherries.

Some people love side dishes even more than the main course. For all those folks, I have everything from satisfying loaded mashed potato casserole to tangy cranberry orange sauce. There are a lot of crowd pleasing options!

You can’t have a holiday meal without a sweet ending! From Christmas cookie dough dip to buckeye balls and reindeer chow, I have seasonal options that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
