Ultimate Christmas Dinner Menu Ideas

A Merry Christmas Menu

Putting together the best Christmas dinner requires as much thoughtful planning as buying the perfect gifts. You want to make sure everything is just right. That means choosing a showstopping main dish, like a juicy roast. Don’t forget to add incredible sides to round out the spread. Vegetables and salads are both great complementary options, especially when you’re making a Christmas ham. Thanks to its festive colors, this pasta salad will shine bright on your holiday table. For the vibrant green dressing, we jazzed up traditional basil pesto with spinach and almonds. A couple of tablespoons of white wine vinegar go into the whole dish for extra tang. The pesto can be made three days ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container.
