Christmas Dinner Menu Ideas: Ham, Desserts, and Side Dishes

In summary, for Christmas dinner, popular main dish options include roast turkey, glazed ham, prime rib, and roasted pork loin. Traditional side dishes often include mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and roasted vegetables.

What are you guys making for Christmas Dinner? I'm drawing blanks. I know I'm doing a Honey-baked ham. We're having one other family over- so not sure what to ask her to bring- thinking she can bring a favorite dessert and a veggie tray or something.

I'm leaning towards either a Sweet Potato Souffle recipe that I have, or a Twice-baked potato casserole.

just wondering what ya'll are doing. :)
