IF YOU’RE looking to shake things up this Christmas then chuck the turkey and all the trimmings out the window and go for something a bit more non-traditional.
Christmas Around the World
* Italian Feast: Serve up homemade pasta, lasagne, or a variety of pizzas with a festive twist, paired with a fresh Caprese salad to keep the red and green theme going!
* Mexican Fiesta: Create a spread of tacos, enchiladas, and nachos with all the toppings. Add guacamole, salsa, and a big bowl of churros for dessert.
* Asian-Inspired: Go for a sushi platter, stir-fried noodles, or a flavourful curry. Finish off with fortune cookies or green tea ice cream.
BBQ Christmas
* Grilled Meats: Serve up steaks, ribs, or marinated chicken, along with grilled veggies like corn on the cob and bell peppers.
* BBQ Sides: Classic sides like coleslaw, potato salad, and baked beans complement the flavours.
* BBQ Desserts: Finish with grilled fruit skewers, s’mores, or a BBQ’d fruit cobbler.
Brunch for Dinner
* Pancake Bar: Set up a station with toppings like berries, whipped cream, and chocolate chips.
* Egg Dishes: Whip up an egg casserole, frittata, or omelettes made to order.
* Mimosas and Hot Cocoa: Serve with a side of fruit salad and pastries.
