12 Must Try Christmas Sides

No holiday feast is complete without all the yummy Christmas sides! So I’ve rounded up 12 of my all-time favorites to help make your menu planning a breeze this year!

My Best Christmas Sides Recipes

It’s that time of year again when you’re running around just trying to get the tree up, gifts wrapped, and the menu planned! But let’s face it, in some ways the sides are what make the meal. The turkey may be juicy and the ham may be tasty but without the Christmas sides, it’s not a holiday dinner.

In this collection of recipes, you’ll find all the classics like buttery mashed potatoes and creamed spinach as well as an easy recipe for homemade dinner rolls. I’ve also included my perfectly sweetened honey roasted carrots which are always a hit! All of these go fantastic with turkey or ham. And if you are serving beef, my potatoes au gratin and skillet green beans pair perfectly with prime rib. 

So take a peek at these 12 easy to make Christmas side dishes and let me help you take the stress out of menu planning this holiday season!
