Christmas Dinner Ideas
Looking for some extra touches to make your festive feast go off with a bang? HelloFresh’s Senior Recipe Development Manager, Mimi Morley, shares some fun Christmas food ideas here.
Christmas Party Food Ideas:
- Cut low-carb cloud bread in half like a burger bun, and fill with turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce - maybe even a few sliced sprouts if you're feeling brave! Then half a mini pretzel and stick into the top of your sandwich to look like reindeer antlers, with half a black olive for a nose. Top tip: this will please little ones too! See here for more kids’ dinner ideas.
- Top your butter board with sliced figs, bacon lardons and diced green peppers and pomodoro tomatoes for a seasonal treat for all the senses. You can even add colourful, nutrient rich dippable veggies like radishes or carrots.
- Pesto eggs with a festive twist would make a wonderful Christmas morning breakfast. To make them look a little more festive, simply use red pesto on one side and green pesto on the other, then sprinkle with a few chilli fakes and chipped chives; it’s as simple as that!
- Custard yoghurt toast would make an equally delicious festive breakfast or brunch on Christmas morning. To take this incredible treat to the next level, top with kiwis cut into Christmas tree shapes, pomegranate seeds or sliced cherries. You could even add a sprinkle of cinnamon if you like.
- Combining mixed spices to your baked oats will not only smell heavenly, but will taste delicious and Christmassy too. I recommend using cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and nutmeg.
- Thinking of popping the question over Christmas? You’ll be in good company, as research shows over 40% of engagements happen between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day. Nothing says it better than ‘marry me chicken’, so why not make it extra special and extra festive by adding sprigs of rosemary and diced Golden Queen tomatoes to your herbed chicken, topped with a few dried orange and lemon slices.
Christmas Foods To Try
This year, alongside your delicious Christmas dinner, why not infuse some extra sparkle into our annual celebrations by adding a creative twist to our cherished food and drink traditions. Starting with your Christmas table setting, make sure to have a read through our tips and tricks to set the table right and impress your guests from the off. Once that’s sorted, why not kick off your Christmas dinner with some festive Christmas canapes, such as crowd-pleasing halloumi sesame bites or beetroot and mushroom blinis.To complement any Christmas dinner and kick off the celebrations, Christmas cocktails are a must! A spiced Braeburn apple gin or a mulled wine are sure to warm you up on a cold Christmas afternoon, but don’t forget, there are plenty of delicious Christmas mocktails for those non-drinkers in the group. It’s the little extra touches that make your Christmas dinner oh so special. Here’s to your best Christmas dinner yet!
HelloFresh Christmas Box FAQs
What is different from last year's Christmas box?
