On Christmas, we try to have a special meal that we wouldn’t have every day of the year. The standing prime rib roast is a wonderful, striking centerpiece on the holiday table.

Our Honey-Mustard Glazed Ham makes a striking main dish with its shiny, caramelized coating. A tangy, crunchy crust yields a mouthwateringly delicous interior.

The most traditional holiday dish is the roast goose. Most grocers can supply a frozen goose at any time; during the holidays fresh birds are usually available. Even better is a free-range goose, which will be more tender and taste better.

As opposed to a traditionally brined turkey, a dry-brined turkey is said to have a crispier skin and better texture overall. It’s not difficult but you do need to put the brined turkey in the fridge 3 days in advance and remove the night before roasting.

This simple, elegant dish that impresses with little effort. With just a few ingredients—fresh rosemary, thyme, and roasted garlic—you impart wonderful flavor that melds deliciously with the tender juiciness of the tenderloin.

Tourtière is a popular meat-filled pie enjoyed at Christmas. A French-Canadian staple, this double-crusted savory pie is made with a ground pork, warm spices, and mashed potatoes, plus a rich pastry crust that melts in your mouth.

Sporting a meat sauce and a white sauce, this classic crowd-pleaser just got twice as nice!

Need a quick dinner for two or three? This Easy Cranberry Chicken recipe is a wonderfully festive and flavorful dish with minimal effort. Enjoy over rice or with roasted veggies.

This Yorkshire Pudding is delicious served alongside any meal, but goes especially well with a roast beef. Try making individual puddings with a muffin tin!

Inevitably, some of the leaves come off the sprouts as they roast, and they become delectably charred in the heat of the oven. Don’t discard them; they taste sublime.

This classic cornbread dressing (or stuffing) is a favorite during the holidays. Buttery with a nice blend of sausage and herbs, this hearty dressing’s surprise flavor is the apples, which add a crisp, fresh taste.

Honey-Glazed Carrots and Parsnips make for a simple but excellent combination. For a special meal, lay fresh sprigs of rosemary and thyme over the vegetables before roasting.

Or, try something different (and delicious!) with carrots. With only five ingredients, our Carrot Casserole is simple and inexpensive to make, yet looks lovely. We’ve served this carrot bake to folks who weren’t particularly fond of carrots, and it was a big hit.

For another casserole option, try this holiday favorite. The pecans add crunchy texture to this sweet potato dish.

If you’re a fan of mashed potatoes, roasted garlic takes these creamy mashed potatoes over the top!

If you’re not a mashed potatoes fan, try these delicious scalloped potatoes. There’s something different about these cheesy, crispy potatoes when it comes to a special holiday meal.

We’re a big fan of winter squash this year! For this slightly sweet and nutty side dish, we used a mix of delicata and butternut squash.
