Christmas 2017: Dinner Recipes For The Holiday

WACO, TX— The presents are wrapped and now it's time to plan that amazing Christmas feast for your family.

A lot of planning often goes into the meal, and if you have not planned at all, then hopefully you have some idea what the family is having.

Maybe it’s a tradional turkey or ham, or maybe you are opting for a Christmas goose or an English roast.

Whatever is on the menu, there’s always room for a few more culinary ideas, and these amazing recipes are off the chart and will please any palate.

Here are a few recipes that are both traditional and non-traditional from Taste of Home:

Bacon and Broccoli Salad: You'll want to serve this family-friendly side dish year-round. The broccoli gets a big-time flavor boost from bacon, toasted pecans, dried berries and a mayo dressing

Herb Crusted Prime Rib: A holiday favorite for a lot of families, and it doesn’t take long to prepare.

Holiday Crown Pork Roast: This beats ham and turkey hands down.

Christmas Cauliflower Casserole: This creamy casserole is filled with tender cauliflower and topped with a sprinkling of crispy herb stuffing.

Christmas Tortellini Soup: Who doesn’t love tortellini, with spinach and that creamy broth. Where’s my nap?

Traditional Holiday Stuffing: If you don’t have a family recipe, this one here will do the trick.

Pomegranate Glazed Green Beans: You know this just sounds good.

Cranberry Salad: This is similar to the recipe passed down over six generations in my family.

Eggnog Sweet Potato Bake: This is one we gotta try.

Pecan Pie: If you’re in Texas, you cannot go wrong with pecan pie(pronounced puh-con), like ever.
