Christmas Recipes

With Christmas on the horizon, I’ve put together this index of Christmas recipes so that you can look through them easily and find something delicious to prepare during the holiday season.

This time of year can be crazy and hectic, but take the stress out of worrying about what to cook with my selection of recipes which include starters/appetizers, main dishes, side dishes, desserts, cocktails, and mocktails. As well as Christmas baking recipes including bread, cookies, cupcakes, and cakes.

If you’re throwing a Christmas party there is a selection of party food and appetizers that you can choose from. And if you want to make a homemade foodie gift, there are several recipes that would be great to give to a friend or loved one.

And of course, there are Christmas leftovers to think about, so there are recipes for that too.

Before I get into the recipes, here is some handy information for you.

Christmas recipes are not the only ones I have on my blog, there are 500+ Recipes here for you to enjoy! Please feel free to check them out too.

Christmas Starters

Christmas meals are always special – whether that is on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day – or any other day you are celebrating – and you may be looking for a starter or appetizer to begin your meal.

Christmas Main Dishes

Turkey is traditional for Christmas Day for us, but I have enjoyed preparing not-so-traditional meals too.

Christmas Side Dishes & Salads

What is Christmas dinner without a side or two (or several!)?

Christmas Desserts
