Christmas Menu Ideas for a Traditional Christmas Celebration Christmas has always been a time for family and wonderful food. You will find there are many traditions regarding the typical Christmas menu. If you're preparing your family's Christmas dinner, here are a couple of ideas:
Many Christmas culinary traditions are dependent on location. For instance in the South United States many families tend to have either ham or turkey for their main dish. Other families save the turkey for Thanksgiving and the ham for Easter, while eating a delicious prime rib for Christmas. Whatever you choose for your main course, potatoes, corn, beets, dinner rolls, and fruit usually accompany the meal.

A traditional recipe for mashed potatoes at Christmas time includes potatoes, milk, butter, salt, pepper, and sour cream. Normally for five potatoes you use ¼ cup milk, 1-tablespoon butter, salt and pepper to taste, and 1-tablespoon sour cream. The easiest way to mash the potatoes is using a mixer - quick, very creamy and always lump free, definitely a good thing if you're making a large quantity. Another great recipe for Christmas is green bean casserole. For green bean casserole you need one can of sliced green beans, one can of cream of mushroom soup, and fried onions. You mix the soup and green beans together, place the fried onions on the top, and then bake the dish for twenty minutes depending on your oven.
Christmas is a time for us to share family with friends and exchange gifts. It is also a time where we tend to eat some of the most delicious home cooked meals because we take the time out of our day to relax and cook. Whatever you choose to serve on Christmas day, don't forget though that relaxing and spending time with loved ones should be your first priority.
