…what to serve at the Christmas party
The Christmas season is a time of joy, togetherness, gratitude and, of course, enjoyment. A festive Christmasparty is not complete without a delicious meal to bring guests together to share these feelings. Below, we found five flavorsome culinary options to consider for a special Christmas party. Whether one goes traditional with a classic roast goose or innovative with a tasty vegan dish, there should be something for everyone.
Classic Roast Goose
The classic roast goose is an absolute favorite in many households at Christmastime. Juicy, tender goose meat with crispy skin is perfectly complemented by side dishes like potato dumplings, red cabbage, green cabbage, brussels sprouts and flavorful gravy. This traditional dish brings the authentic taste of Christmas to your table and creates a festive mood.
Cheese Fondue
For a cozy Christmas celebration, the cheese fondue is an excellent choice. Fondue – an actually all-year-round Suisse tradition – stands for conviviality at the dinner table. This companionable dish of melted cheese shared family style with bread, vegetables and other accompaniments creates a relaxed atmosphere and is definitely a highlight during any festive gathering.
Christmas Pudding
Christmas Pudding, also known as plum pudding, is a traditional first-day-of-Christmas dish consumed in the United Kingdom. This savory pudding is filled with lots of dried fruit, nuts and spices. Served with a generous portion of brandy, the Christmas Pudding is a true & very rich festive treat.
Christmas Carp
In many European countries, the Christmas carp is a popular choice for the holiday menu. An old custom is to pick up one of the carp’s scales and keep it so that it will bring money blessings in the New Year. Christmas carp is traditionally cut into pieces, breaded and fried in fat. It is served with potato salad. This dish is a nice light version of a Christmas dinner, in a time of year when very heavy dishes are usually preferred.
Vegan Chestnut Nut Roast
Christmas is a great opportunity to show that enjoyment does not require any animal produce. A delicious vegan chestnut nut roast will really delight you. It’s juicy, aromatic and wonderfully festive and is served with Brussels sprouts, porcini mushroom sauce and al dente tagliatelle. The party can begin and even non-vegans will love it!
