Instructions

Starters

  • Make Santa's Hat Cheeseball and Stuffed Mushrooms the day before. You can prep the brie wreath ahead of time too, baking just before serving with the stuffed mushrooms.

Salad

  • Prep the day before, tossing with dressing and toppings just before serving.

Main Dish

  • Prep the day before, leaving the honey baked ham in the oven low and slow.

Bread

  • This is a quick bread, requiring no yeast. Make it up to 48 hours in advance.

Side Dishes

  • Each of these side dishes can be prepped ahead, with the exception of the brussels, which need to be sautéed at the last minute for the best crispy flavor. Everything else can stay in the oven for an hour or two prior to serving to keep them warm.

Drink

  • Mulled wine can be completed up to 48 hours in advance. Simply warm it through on the stove or in a crockpot prior to serving.

Dessert

  • This is a no bake cheesecake - so easy! Make it a day ahead and enjoy!
