We’ve given you tons of Christmas gift ideas , but enough with the presents—what about Christmas dinner ideas?  Maybe this year calls for a grand entrée (like a succulent prime rib roast or wine-braised short ribs ). Or maybe what you really want is a Christmas dinner menu loaded with snacks you can make days ahead of time. With less time stressing in the kitchen, you’ll have ample opportunity to mingle over starters, like this Gruyère-filled onion dip or a classic aioli destined for crunchy crudités. Or maybe you want to buck convention. A giant cheesy, potato rosti next to a rack of pistachio-crusted short ribs ? A samosa tart paired with creamy soup ? These are all very good Christmas food ideas. Whatever route you choose, Christmas cookies are the logical end to any Christmas meal—and if you give your guests a couple, they won’t even care that you forgot to get them gifts.

    Party-Ready Pork Roast

    Instead of using one larger bone-in pork loin roast, this recipe calls for two smaller ones. This allows for more exposed surface areas, which decreases cooking time and develops a delicious golden brown crust.

    Expertly Spiced and Glazed Roast Turkey
