Christmas Recipes Just For You!

3 Comments

This comprehensive collection of Christmas recipes will definitely make your holidays more organised and cheerful.

Growing up, Christmas had always been my favorite time of the year. I loved the spirit of happiness and joy in the air.

Even now, celebrating Christmas with my family has a special place in my heart. For christians in Kerala, Christmas is not only a huge family celebration but also marks the end of 24 days of abstinence and fasting.

Our Christmas celebrations start right at the breakfast table. A grand breakfast followed by a sumptuous lunch is an integral part of this special occasion.

As the Christmas day is approaching, I think it’s time to plan our menu too. So, this holiday season, I’ve gathered a Christmas recipe collection just for you to give your day an extra festive vibe.

From breakfast to dinner and dessert, these recipes are going to make your day special. You can see both traditional and modern options below. All you need to do is choose the main dish and then choose 3-4 side dishes to go with it. Just mix and match to customize your own menu.
And you’re done!
