This December, Hidden Valley High School students revealed the 5 most popular dishes at Christmas dinner.
5. Stuffing is easily one of the most beloved Thanksgiving and Christmas side dishes, providing a soft savory accent to the rest of the meal. A combination of bread, chicken broth, and other vegetables adds a simple flair that is sure to wow your guests if you make it right.
4. One of the most basic dishes that can be paired with almost any meal is the popular mashed potatoes. A super easy addition to the table, this one can be coupled with almost any type of meat, making it the perfect dish for your dinner.
3. Cranberry sauce is a fruity complement at Christmas time, bringing something different to the wide array of options on the table this year. Cranberry sauce couples well with turkey for a well-balanced taste throughout your plate. If you’re looking for a sweet flavor to your Christmas dinner this holiday season, then cranberry sauce is just right for you.
4. Probably the most common dish during the holidays is turkey. Turkey is something that almost every family has on the table for a hearty and healthy meal that feeds several people at once. Turkey also contains several health benefits, including an abundance of protein and nutrients, along with muscle growth and maintenance.
5. An alternative to turkey is a Christmas ham, proving to be richer in iron than turkey, while also holding plenty of nutrients, making it a complete protein. Ham is a deliciously sweet and somewhat salty meat that can make a delicious main course for your Christmas dinner.
There are several different options to put on the table this season, including main course meats, side dishes and sauces. Any of these items pair well with Christmas dinner and are sure to tastily feed your guests.
