My friend Cupcake Julie had her Christmas party this past weekend.
You may remember her gorgeous sugar-themed decorations.
Stuff like this.
(Here’s the post from last year if you want to see visions of sugar plums dancing in your head for the next few days. Make sure you check out the kids play bakery, too. It’s incredible.)
It’s hard to imagine, but this year was even more beautiful than last.
Colonel Cupcake was there again this year.
And so was this guy.
And this one.
And this little one. These guys were all over the place.
You may also remember seeing them from the Toronto Book Signing Post.
Teatro Verde is the only store I’ve actually seen them sold in. It made me happy to see them on display.
Anyway, I love ’em. So festive and sweet.
As a surprise for Julie, I made a few cake pops inspired by them to bring to the party.
Wanna see?
Cupcake Nutcracker guys.
She squealed. I smiled.
They’re double decker cake pops, too. Tricky and a little over the top, but I couldn’t resist.
I also made some Christmas Tree cake pops.
Much easier. But instead of doing them in green, I kept them in her holiday color scheme.
I really like them like this.
Speaking of trees, Julie’s party decorations this year also included two new ones.
This cheerful pink one covered in snowmen.
And this whimsical upside down tree.
Amazing, huh.
But that’s Julie.
Here’s her dessert table. Filled with tons of treats.
Cookies and candy.
Cake Pops, of course.
Mini cupcakes from Crumb in New York.
Macarons and much, much more.
Completely lovely. I wish you could have been there with me.
But since you weren’t … how about a couple of cute guys to keep you company?
I just so happen to know of two that are about ten inches tall.
I thought I’d part with these to share them with one of you.

Growing up in an Italian family we always had the 7 fish on Christmas Even and while I didn’t appreciate it as a child, I miss it now. My father would make a ragu di pesce with all sorts of wonderful seafood in it….scallops, shrimp, calamari, mussels and clams. Then there was always the obligatory fish that I refused to eat…something strange like eel. That I don’t miss!
We always have enchiladas for Christmas, and I LOVE it!
Each year, my family does appetizers as a meal. It is always requested that I bring a cheeseball. I try something new every year. Enjoy the holidays!
My favorite food for Christmas is polish sausage. Not just any Polish sausage – it has to be Usinger’s Polish.
Homemade mashed potatoes! With lots and lots of butter…mm :)
I absolutely LOVE my mom’s cheesy potatoes. They are the best!! :)
Wowsiers!!!! Those are beautiful. Thanks for showing.
Since I live in Australia and we have a hot christmas, i think theres nothing better than a delicious and fresh seafood platter. Filled with prawns, oysters and scallops. Nothing beats it. :)
My mother’s homegrown turnip in a brown sugar glaze!
We do a beef tenderloin with peppercorn Brandy sauce. yummy!
Yule log ok that is sweet and clementines humm also kinda sweet. How about spicy bacon wrapped dates
We always have Chili on Christmas Eve with my Grandma. I look forward to it every year!
Oh my favorite would be the juicy orange that was left in the toe of my stocking…..
That’s hard! My favorite part of Christmas food is the cookies! But I do love having shrimp and crab! Or crab stuffed mushrooms! Yummm!
I make homemade sweet dinner rolls and they are TO DIE FOR! Yummy!!!!
Perogies!!!! My husband’s grandmother made them every year for Christmas Eve. And of course a good plate of shrimp is a must this time of year.
My favorite food on Christmas is Shrimp Cocktail. We always have it as an appetizer at my Grandmother’s house.
Happy Holidays Bakerella! I want to try those nutcracker cake pops but they are a little out of my current skill range, maybe next year :)
Ham, cornbread stuffing and homemade rolls top my list
It is hard not to simply repeat my thanksgiving dinner for Christmas, because I love it so much……but I truly LOVE cornish game hens. They are fabulous!
I would have to say that as a vegetarian my favorites on Christmas are the roasted sweet potatoes and the delicious stuffed mushrooms (I would be happy just eating those alone). Savory or sweet…I love it all!
My fave. thing to eat on Christmas day is two fold:
In the morning, while opening presents, we bake a sausage/egg/cheese casserole that you make up the night before…That paired with some homemade nutbread is perfect.
For dinner, my fave. would have to be the turkey & homemade gravy :)
Happy Holidays!
Thank you for the chance to win!
Honestly, I have been on sugar overload myself and I think I’m finally starting to wind down. I am looking forward to eating some good old fashion macaroni and cheese with a spiraled ham and some homemade bread rolls along with a few other sides! Just keeping things plain and simple!
In Australia we normally have cold roast pork, ham and roast duck with salad and veggies.
…Mashed potatoes and gravy… and oyster stuffing… no contest :)
This year I am making a chicken lasagna for Christmas dinner. I had enough ham and turkey for Thanksgiving.
Merry Christmas to all!
Apple bacon turkey dressing from Cooks Illustrated. Yum!
Chicken and dumplings for a side dish….different but yummy!
I love funeral potatoes they are so yummy with Ham and brussel sprouts. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
I’m not sure what to say as I love it all. If I have to pick I enjoy my Mom’s stuffing made with sausage meat. Super yummy.
Merry Christmas!
I look forward to ham. Each year I make a spiral cut honey glazed ham and we have leftovers for days! Mmmmmmm! I also make a cheese log each year that is delicious and only made at Christmas making it a special treat.
I’m afraid this will sound terribly simple and non-festive, but I adore sliced apples in the pan, with goat cheese and honey on top. I’ll probably be making that as entrée course for my christmas party with friends!
good ole english classic..yorkshire pudding!!
My favorite thing is the roast beef. My husband is always in charge of it and it’s amazing every time. A little Montreal Steak Spice and a soy sauce marinade (sounds odd I know) and I’m in heaven. I can’t wait!
My Grandma makes a green bean casserole that’s amazing!
My favorite is prime rib with yorkshire pudding.
My mom’s baked ham. It’s the bestest!
Prime Rib
My mom used to make pop-overs on Christmas morning, Home made jam wrapped in pastry, in the shape of triangles, Yum!
My favorite thing to eat at Christmas is my 94 year old grandmothers recipe for cornbread stuffing….. bunkers!!!
Probably scalloped potatoes made with alternating sweet potatoes and yukon gold potatoes. They’re amazing!! Merry Christmas!!
Every Christmas Eve is prime rib with shrimp stuffed baked potatoes, both are Paula Deen’s recipes! About our 10th year now, we love it!
green beans tossed lightly in a lemon browned butter!
Breakfast! Because that mean the good part is coming soon!
Our tradition is to make California Rolls or Sushi at home. The kids (teens now) enjoy making and them them! This year will be no different! My mom loved sushi and the kids’ rolls were extra special tasting to her.
We always make sausage balls at Christmas. Great to wake up to on Christmas morning!
Love my mom’s scalloped potatoes they are the perfect side for the ham.
I love the traditional fixings. Especially turkey and dressing.
Because the days leading to Christmas are so nutty and full, and we have turkey and the trimmings at Thanksgiving, we choose to have Taco Soup or Chili, along with deli sandwiches and homemade pickles. Kind of “off” fare, but we love it! We also have tons of goodies to gnosh on all afternoon and evening.
It is hard to pick just one thing! Probably the Christmas ham because we only have it at Christmas and it is so delicious! But the mimosas at breakfast are fabulous because I get to share them with my beloved daughter!
I love the honey baked ham the most but it makes it complete when I cut those small pickling cucumbers into spears and have the mashed potatos nice and creamy. Then I dip the cucumbers in the mashed potatos as if it was a dressing. Oh yes and the homemade mac and cheese. yummy! Have a very Merry Christmas.
Standing Rib Roast with sage au jus cooked to a perfect medium rare:)
mmmmm…Macaroni and cheese!
A festive Christmas Eve dinner of crab cakes, coconut shrimp, and a new addition this year…spicy baked scallops!! But the best part is the candles, the music, and having my family home together! Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night!
Rolls…esp if they are warm!
oooh, this post made me drool!
My favourite has to be my roast potatoes – parboiled first, then bash up the edges before popping them into hot oil to roast. They come out all crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside… Yummy!
I love to eat potatoes, sounds pretty normal, but my mother makes the most amazing roasties on Christmas day :D
i’m always away for college during the year, so when i finally come home for christmas, i eat the thing i miss most: my grandma’s spring rolls! they’re perfect when they just come out of the fryer and are so incredibly crispy and hot.
woops, forgot my name in my last post! i had said:
every year my grandparents send us a gift certificate to the honeybaked ham store and encourage us to open it early(:
they make a honeybaked turkey to die for!
every year my grandparents send us a gift certificate to the honeybaked ham store and encourage us to open it early(: they make a honeybaked turkey to die for!
I love making a rack of lamb every year with fresh rosemary spread on it! YUMMMM
First of all wow @ your latest cakepops ! I’ve made a few from your book so far and I must say they are getting easier every time I make them, practice does make perfect.
I’d love a chance to win those sweet soldiers, I’m pretty sure no store over here sells them !
I love to eat mashed potatoes!
A fresh roast pumpkin salad with goats cheese, rocket, pine nuts and a lemon vinaigrette
I would love some Prime Rib with Horseradish! Mmmmm. Too bad I’m on a diet!! :(
I can’t wait to eat spring rolls, and quiche and spam musubi my cousin makes YUM!!!
My favorite thing to eat on Christmas was always cold cuts. My Dad always got cold cuts instead of having yet another Turkey or Ham dinner. We all looked forward to it. Mmmm, Dill Havarti cheese too!
My favorite is fudge………. fudge! Fudge! Fudge! I just skip the gym for a couple weeks and indulge!
You are fabulous!!! Thank you for all you do!!!
Every Christmas morning, after all the kids come down, we open our stockings while my mom makes the best Corned Beef Hash in the world. She cooks it in the skillet first, then bakes it, it’s soooo good, and we always have plenty of leftovers. :)
Also, my mom makes spinach timbales with hollandaise that’s the best, also makes delicious leftovers.
My son would be over the moon about those soldiers! My favorite Christmas meal is spaghetti. That’s what my mom makes on Christmas Eve. It’s easy and perfect.
Oh I miss you guys! The party looks like it was a fantasimal experience! Julie, you rock! And I love all the cake pops-they’re adorible! Did anyone actually eat any of the goodies? I wouldn’t want to mess up the amazing display. Merry Christmas to you both. This year I’ll be making a roast duck with orange sauce. We had one last year and we all loved it. Love ya, Sara in SLO
My favorite things are my grandmother’s stuffing and my mom’s broccoli rice casserole. :)
I’m pretty simple when it comes to making me happy during the holidays… my all time favorite is Turkey!
Pierogies! My whole family makes them together from scratch on Christmas Eve. I bet I could eat a dozen! :)
Hmmm, my favourite non-sweet thing to eat at Christmas would be my mom’s sticky rice. She makes it stuffed full of chinese sausages, mushrooms, and all sorts of other goodness and it’s just so flavourful! It comes out hot and ready to eat in the rice cooker and it’s a big hit as an Asian alternative to the usual stuffing for the turkey. I love it!
Sweet potato casserole with pecans, maple syrup, vanilla, and of course a lot of marshmallows
My favorite food to eat Christmas morning is pandolce, it’s a Mexican sweetbread. My mom and I choose some every year.
everything here is AMAZING!!!!
favorite thing to eat on Christmas? pankcakes!
We love rocket, spinach. sliced pear and pecan salad with a lovely dressing with our summer Christmas lunch here in Australia!
My favourite thing to eat is stuffing! My mom uses a box mix to make it, but adds sauteed mushrooms and onions… plus lots of gravy on top. No wonder I only have this once a year, but still something to look forward to!!! Yum!!!
I love cheesey garlic grits. Yummm!
I would love to decorate like that someday!
I love many things but gingerbread is one of my favorite in christmas time…
I love making twice baked potatoes on Christmas. It’s a family tradition!
Happy Holidays Bakerella, thanks for inspiring so many people! :)
My favorite Christmas food is klub smothered in butter! Merry Christmas!
I love this, how amazing. We have summer in new Zealand during Christmas so I love to have prawn salad.
I love these soldiers!! Bad as this my sound, I love a good pizza on Christmas eve. My mother was never a big fan of cooking and this was her way of celebrating. It kind of stuck :)
OMG! These cake pops are your best yet! I’m so proud of all your success and following your journey has been SO inspiring, even to a Fashion Journalist. ;)
This is my first Christmas home (after living in Europe for the past 4 yrs.) and I’m looking forward to the green bean casserole and leftover turkey sandwiches!
:)
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Pff, I totally forgot to mention my favorite food, I was so caught up in the cute!
I’m old fashioned and love roast turkey on Christmas, but the best stuff comes AFTER dinner is done — homemade turkey soup! I like to add rice to mine.
I am Scandinavian and my Christmas menu includes Swedish potato sausage, brown beans and lefse, which is similar to a tortilla, but made with mashed potatoes.
My friend alwyas came and visit us during Christmas, and this year, we are thingking about having ribs, mashed potatoes and string bean with garlic. For desert, french macaron, and cheese cake from one of the best cheese cake in San Francisco.
My family has a Polish Christmas Eve dinner, and the homemade pierogies are my favorite!
lamb chop :P
My favorite thing to eat at Christmas is my mama’s mashed potatoes with gravy. She makes them perfect: smooth with a few lumps. I look forward to it all year! Yum!
And I love Cupcake Julie =) So glad to see you blog about her again!
Being Norwegian we have different traditions on food over here, and even in our small country there’s regional differences. Mine is Pinnekjøtt, from the west. It’s dried rib of lamb, which is remoistened and steamed for up to three hours. Served with potatoes, rutabaga stew, beer and aquavit. It’s one of the bestn things I get!
Honey baked ham!!!!
i got the idea from Christmas with the Kranks…its Delicious :D
Christmas will be the first day off my diet in more than a 2 months! So I am looking forward to the french silk pie more than usual. =) But other than french silk pie I really want some white rice.
That has been forbidden on my diet and I love white rice- so since it’s my cheat day- I’m eating some!
I look forward to green bean casserole and homemade broccoli-cheese rice with cream of mushroom. delicious!
chicken noodle soup!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful pops!
I’ve gotta have stuffed mushrooms with Christmas dinner. So yummy!
My mother makes the most awesome twice baked potatoes every Christmas Eve, and I spend all year looking forward to them. They are so yummy!!!
Apple & Onion Stuffin’ Muffins! It’s a Rachael Ray recipe and it’s amazing for stuffing lovers.
I like to eat steak on Christmas!
My ABSOLUTE fav thing to eat on Christmas is tamales. It’s been a family tradition every year to have tamales on Christmas morning while we are opening presents with my family. I look forward to it every year….
Roast Beef with some vegetables…….
It’s gotta be the turkey & stuffing. It’s not Christmas without it!
My favourite non-sweet dish is definitely my aunt’s stuffing, soooo good!
Happy Holidays :)
Fondue! We always do fondue ever since I was little:) so much fun!!!
I’m a vegetarian so no turkey or ham for me on the holidays..instead i get tofurkey with mashed potatoes and vegetarian brown gravy..thanksgiving and christmas are the only time of the year I eat it so I look forward to it all year :)
Merry Christmas!
Hi Bakerella!
One of my favorite things to eat on Christmas are probably those buttermilk biscuits that you can get in the refrigerated section at the grocery store. They’re simple but when they’re fresh out of the oven they’re oh so delicious!
Turkey! It’s like Thanksgiving all over again!
My family and i get together and make tamales on Christmas Eve. We make beef, cheese, chicken, and pork tamales. (Sometimes we even make sweet tamales)
Fresh shrimp cocktails.
This house is AMAZING!! and i love macarons!!
What beautiful creations!!!! My favorite Christmas food is my grandmother’s homemade baked macaroni and cheese. She normally uses at least 2-3 different types of cheeses and it is such a special holiday memory!
I love eating my grandma’s roast Christmas ham at the end of the year. She studs it with cloves, bastes it with deliciousness and overall it’s just amazing.
Favorite thing to eat on Christmas would most definitely be the sweets! – but, if you’re saying non-sweets… probably green bean casserole. Yummy rolls. Potatoes. Yum.
Simply amazing! I look forward to seeing what Cupcake Julie will come up with next year!
Oh man, those are ADORABLE! I don’t usually go in for holiday decorations, but who could possibly resist sparkly nutcrackers with confectionary caps? :)
My favorite thing to eat is my husbands prime rib. He makes it perfect everytime and sooo flavorful.
Really good French bleu cheese with crackers, pears and apple slices!
I love eating turkey and stuffing! We never had a turkey dinner for Christmas growing up, but my in-laws always do that and I love it!
My favorite thing to eat at Christmas Time is a great salad. Some fruit and vegetables over a bed of tossed greens.
… Along side my giant plate of turkey or ham of course!
Ham!!! I love ham on Christmas!
I never used to like cranberry sauce because of the jelly consistency. Well, a few years ago I found a recipe to make a cranberry chutney to see if I could change my mind about it. IT WORKED! I LOVE cranberry chutney with homemade cornbread stuffing! It’s requested by my mom every year now!
Alton Brown’s roasted turkey and my grandma’s stuffing!
My favorite thing to eat at Christmas time is the delicious homemade rolls with homemade jam that are a staple at important meals in my family. But really, I could just eat homemade jam by the spoonful, so maybe that’s my favorite?
My favourite thing to eat are chocolate covered almonds – my mum buys them for me every year!
Cinnamon rolls!
I know it’s weird but lasagna, cheesy lasagna hits the spot!
its tamales!
Must always have home-made pierogies on Christmas Eve. It’s the only time of year I make them from scratch, since it’s a huge project, but it would not be Christmas Eve dinner without my pierogies made from my Grandmother’s recipe.
Love all the party pictures! I’m looking forward to Honey Ham with pineapple!
In our family, we have a few very strict menu traditions and only change one or two dishes up every now and then. I look forward to eating a cottage cheese salad dish that has been passed down several generations in my family. It is a mixture of cottage cheese, diced tomatoes, diced celery, grated onion and of course a little mayo s & p. It may sound a little, but it really is delicious! I can’t pick just one dish I am looking forward to so I have to also include our traditional tamales on Christmas Eve. We eat them with chili and queso poured on top!
Cranberry jelly! Oh the goodness! That does count as a non-sugar food, right?
This year it’s chicken cordon bleu, and I can’t wait!!!
OMG! You outdid yourself on this one. Crazy SWEET!
My favorite thing to eat on Christmas is beef tamales. I come from a pretty traditional hispanic family so that is Christmas food to me!
I would love to have Julie as my aunt…lol the one I go to for all the sweets!
Normally nutcrackers scares me….(Thank you ballet!) but these are just adorable!!!
That would have to be my fathers homemade Sunday sauce. Handed down from his mother. Nothing beats it…..
my favorite thing to eat during christmas — is peppermint bark. Or hershey peppermint kisses!
love your blog!
My sister makes these delicious savory pastries that she learned from her Armenian mother-in-law. I don’t know how to spell the name, but it sounds something like burrek. It’s a flaky, phyllo-dough thing filled with a mixture of cheeses. They are so delicious, it’s hard to be polite and not eat the whole tray.
what’s christmas without the sweet stuff tho?! but i guess it wud b honey glazed ham. yummy. my family is asian so we don’t have stuff like this often, but i luv it!
My favorite thing to eat at Christmas is the ham sauce my mom has made for years…and I’m cheating a little, because it does have a little “sweet” to it, but the mixture of sweet with the tang of the A-1 sauce is amazing…it has 10oz. A-1 Sauce, 12 ounces thawed, frozen OJ concentrate, 1 to 1-1/2cups brown sugar (based on preference) and 2 cups crushed Dole pineapple from can (mostly drained). Mix all 4 together, and warm in saucepan to serve over ham or add to ham 30 minutes prior to removing from oven. Yum!
Honey Baked Ham
My favorite Christmas meal is ham and cheesy potatoes. :)
My favorite thing to eat on Christmas is my mom’s Quiche. We call it Christmas Quiche because she only makes it for Christmas morning. It has sausage and mushrooms and is just delicious!
I think I would have to go with Prime Rib too. I’m not sure why, I think I’ve only had it on Christmas once or twice, but something about “Christmas dinner” just screams prime rib to me.
Ham for me! :o)
That’s an easy question – gravy.
I’m Italian so homemade Lasagna on christmas is a must!!
Definitely roast lamb glazed in honey, soy sauce and lime.. sooo good ..and to accompany it, you gotta have roast pumpkin, red onion, carrots and kumara (sweet potato)
= a happily, overly expanded tummy :]]
One of my favorite things to eat at Christmas is my mom’s baked macaroni!! Happy holidays!
I love eating turkey for christmas dinner!
I’m not actually a huge fan of christmas dinners but my mom’s quiches are always a must!
btw,,, love these pops!
My Christmas morning quiche! It’s a much have while opening gifts.
Favorite food…every year we have king crab legs and filet mignion (sp?) it’s amazing!!! And every Christmas morning I get up early to make monkey bread for my kids to eat while they unwrap presents. Such great memories :)
Family tradition that goes back as far as I can remember, oyster stew and grandma’s homemade buns! A once a year indulgence ;0)
I’m not sure where this tradition started, but it’s been in my family for ages. On Christmas we normally have ham with cherries and cherry sauce on top. I think it’s yummy, but when I tell people they think it’s weird.
Every Christmas, my mom and I always make these extra super tasty breafast rolls. You take those Pillsbury bake and serve crescent rolls and lay them out and spread on brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans, then roll them up and bake for the appropriate time. They come out extra gooey and sweet and warm. I can’t wait.
I love cooking potatoes and yams in the fireplace :) super yummy and works just as good as a campfire
Gravy! I love gravy and my grandma makes sure to have some for Christmas dinner! Yummy!
my favorite thing to eat on christmas is norwegian salted spar ribs! oh and caraway cabbage!! traditional norwegian christmas dinner! :)
even though everyone in my family dislikes them (and almost everybody else too), i absolutely LOVE brussel sprouts.. and i only get them around christmas time, it’s probably my favorite non-sweet thing on the table!
All soooo yummy! This year we are having lobster on Christmas Eve and Prime Rib for Christmas dinner.
Mashed potatoes!!! yum.
I always make Pioneer Woman’s Egg Florentine casserole for our Christmas Brunch. It has become a family fav! (I use good ‘ol Farmer John sausage patties…it tastes wonderful!)
Oh me please!!
We always make bacon, avocado, and cream cheese (on plain hamburger buns) aka “bacon avos” Christmas morning. it’s a tradition from my husband’s childhood… and I can not express to you just how DELISH they are!!!
Prime rib!
stufffffingg!!! and can i come to her party next year!? lol
How amazing is all that?!? I would not have the energy to do all that in 5 lifetimes.
Every single Christmas we have the same thing: rib roast with a dry mustard/rosemary rub (Joy of COoking recipe), asparagus with homemade hollandaise, fauxtatoes (whipped cauliflower), homemade rolls, and then I switch up the dessert to suit our whim of the year. Can’t wait. :)
Thanks for the thoughtful giveaway.
That house is fantastically decorated. I can’t even begin to imagine how much time must go into that place!
Every Christmas Eve, my family and my husband’s family get together for an appetizer dinner. I love it. It’s super simple and completely non-fancy. We eat smokies in bbq sauce, meatballs in grape jelly and chili sauce, cheese, crackers, and whatever goodies we have received as gifts but not yet consumed.
beautiful! i love to eat tamales – our lazy christmas day tradition.
My mom always makes Carrots Au Gratin. They’re amazing!
We love Christmas Breakfast with homemade blueberry bran muffins, ham and egg breakfast casserole in a pie shell smothered with cheese, homemade hot chocolate with a peppermint stick in each cup and oranges.
Lasagna! Holiday tradition at our house on Christmas eve has been Lasagna – homemade even down to the noodles. Love, love love it!
It is hard to narrow it down to one thing, but I suppose I do love my mother-in-laws hashbrown casserole!
my favorite thing to eat on Christmas is our traditional dinner of homemade lasagna and rolls. Except we’re from Finnish and Welsh heritage and not italian (not stereotyping here but people always ask then if I’m italian…not that I look it or anything either) so I’m not sure why my mom makes lasagna on Christmas. She just does. Besides, I like it more than ham or your usual traditional Christmas dinner food so there you go.
My favorite thing to eat on Christmas is beef tenderloin cooked to a perfect medium rare. With bistro potatoes on the side – of course!
Oh Bakerella, I was SO hoping we would see another post of Julie’s party this year. WOW! And your cake pops fit right in with her ultimate sugary theme. Those pics you took would make some might fine Shutterfly cards, yes?
My favorite (one of my favorite) things to eat at Christmas is popovers. Warm and butter right out of the oven. We serve them on Christmas Eve with our “Church Roast” dinner. YUM!
My favorite thing to eat on christmas has to be pumpkin pie.
sausage scramble bake for breakfast every christmas morning. it is simply the best. . . thanks for the chance to win
I love crackers, cheese ball and beefsticks on Christmas.
My favorite thing is Christmas morning rolls. We have a big breakfast after Santa comes Christmas morning and my Grandma always makes her yummy rolls.
there is food at Christmas that isn’t sweet? :) turkey, potatoes, and prime rib!!
Honeybaked ham! Mmmm. Love this post, what a fabulous party!
I can’t get enough Honey Baked Ham.
My mom makes the best broccoli casserole… it is a favorite always but only tends to make its appearance around the Christmas season!
Every year for Christmas morning we make a breakfast casserole (cheese, ham, bread/custard). Super yummy! Especially with monkey bread!
In my Italian family, we celebrate Christmas Eve with feast of the seven fish in various steamed and fried variations. Along with Orecchiette and broccoli rabe, freets,homemade wine! It wouldn’t feel like Christmas if we didn’t celebrate its Eve!
Love the carbs: potatoes, homemade dinner rolls, stuffing.
I love twice baked potatoes and waldorf salad. Also, some really good bread always sets the tone of our Christmas meal. Merry Christmas!
there’s nothing like good old fashioned rolls and some butter. :)
This year I’m having a meat and cheese tray so everyone can make their own sandwiches, but also making stuffed shells and meatballs for something hot and yummy!
I would have to say our traditional Filipino fare of pancit and lumpia…no traditional Filipino party is complete without these. :)
My favorite thing to eat would have to be homemade potato soup. I have eaten two different versions and i lve them both. The traditional potato soup with the white sauce broth and the one my mom used to make. It has a vegetable soup look to it with only Potatoes, onions, and peas. Top with cheese and YUM.
Sweet potato casserole …. my recipe is more like a dessert than a side dish and the one dish I am asked to bring to every holiday gathering!
Christmas morning is always banana bread & bacon at my house…followed by a big dinner. Last year we did Mexican food…chips & salsa with tortilla soup. This year I think we’re going to do Italian…we’ll see:) I’m with you though…I am sugered out!
My favorite…ham and cheesy potatoes!
I love all of the food b/c I don’t have to cook it!! But, my mom’s homeade rolls are probably the best!!!
I love tamales at Christmas. YUMMY! I also love ham with homemade rolls.
One of my favorites is fondue on Christmas Eve. We have done it since I was a little girl! How fun to be surrounded with beautiful decorations and family this time of year!
Merry Christmas! And thank you for all the fun you post!
