XMAS TIP 18: How To Cater For Guests On Christmas Day

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife December 18, 2020December 16, 2020
December 18, 2020December 16, 2020

Ideas on how to cater for Christmas Day. Suggestions to inspire your menu from breakfast to lunch and dinner with snacks and drinks in between – whilst also catering to different dietary requirements!

Christmas Day and food just go together hand in hand. We gather with our loved ones around meals throughout the day. Every family has different Christmas traditions and some families gather for lunch, for others the special meal is breakfast, others it might be an early dinner. I always like to make and serve some extra special dishes on Christmas, an extra fancy dessert is fun, or a themed cocktail for the day. It adds to the festive feeling. If you are catering this Christmas, I have put together a massive list of menu ideas that will cover you from breakfast, snacks, sides, lunch, dinner, desserts, drinks and even options for those looking for keto, paleo, vegetarian and vegan Christmas meal ideas.

Breakfast Ideas for Christmas Day

It’s lovely to sit down at the table as a family for a special breakfast after the presents have been opened. If you’re having a later lunch on the day, a good breakfast will keep everyone going until then. Pancakes and croissants are some of my favourites to serve, and there are very yummy ideas for your Christmas Breakfast on this list.

  Find this collection of Christmas breakfast recipes here.

Blueberry Pecan Pancake PuddingChristmas Day Snack Ideas

Having some snacks on the table is a great idea for Christmas Day. Particularly if lunch takes a little bit longer than you planned and you have hungry guests. Then they have some yummy things to nibble on and tide them over until the main meal is ready.

  Find this collection of Christmas snack ideas here.

Christmas is the biggest food day of the year. It's a day where you don't need an excuse to eat as much and whatever you want! I've put together a list of delicious snack recipes for Christmas Day to fill in the gaps between meals.

Side Dishes for Christmas Day

Your main Christmas meal is not just about the turkey or ham! The side dishes to go with your mains are just as important. You want to select items that complement your mains, and perhaps add some lightness and freshness. Particularly if you’re serving roast meats for the main dishes.

  Find this collection of side dish recipes for Christmas here.

Lunch ideas for Christmas Day

Lunch is the big meal of the day on Christmas for my family. We often like to have a cold lunch spread as it can be quite hot here in Queensland. Be inspired by this great selection of hot and cold Christmas lunch ideas for your table.

  Find this collection of Christmas lunch recipes here.If you haven't planned your Christmas lunch menu yet, you might be able to get some inspiration with a few of the recipes that I've included below.

Christmas Drink Ideas

Be inspired for your festive beverages with this big selection of drink recipes with alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. I like to serve egg-nog and punches on the day.

  Find this collection of Christmas drink ideas here.

Drinks are so important on Christmas Day. You have to be ready to accommodate everyone, and sometimes inspiration can run low when it comes to being creative with your drinks. Here are some delicious Christmas drink recipes that I found and wanted to share with you!

Dinner ideas for Christmas Day

There are some amazing recipes on this list for a Christmas dinner menu, with inspiration from Jamie Oliver, Heston Blumenthal and even a few of my own recipes.

  Find this collection of Christmas dinner ideas here.

Christmas Day Dessert Recipes

Dessert is perhaps the favourite course on the Christmas menu for kids. This collection of recipes includes some of my personal favourites, and cold options for our summer weather and some traditional classic desserts.

Keto and Paleo Recipes for Christmas Day

If you follow a Keto or Paleo diet have a look at this giant collection of Keto and Paleo recipes to inspire your Christmas Day menu. Or if one of your guests attending has certain dietary requirements you might find a dish that suits them and your menu.

  Find this collection of Keto and Paleo recipes for Christmas here.

The Paleo and Keto diets are becoming more popular these days when it comes to a healthier a lifestyle. We've put together a giant collection of Christmas Day menu and recipes for both the Paleo diet and Keto diet.

Vegan and Vegetarian Dishes for Christmas Day

Find some delicious vegan and vegetarian options in this collection of recipes for your Christmas Day menu. The Jamie Oliver vegetarian nut loaf looks really satisfying as a vegetarian main option, you could alter the topping and then it would be vegan as well.

  Find this collection of Vegan and Vegetarian Christmas recipes here.

I know so quite a few members in our community are; or know someone who is a Vegetarian or Vegan. So I have done some intense investigating to find some really delicious menu ideas for all you Vegetarians and Vegans out there that may be struggling with your Christmas menu.

What is one of your favourite dishes to serve at Christmas?

✨ Task: Restyle One Area
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had a corner in my home that I’ve been wanting to change for a while! I wanted to remove a side table to repurpose elsewhere and add some plants to the corner. Cause I feel like I’m getting really clever lately and I’m keeping real plants alive😉🌱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Interestingly, the colour green has been noted to have calming effects, so maximise on this and bring nature indoors to make your home comforting and relaxing 😌

Chances are, you may have a space or corner in your home that’s looking a litte drab. Perhaps it's paperwork on top of side tables in the hallway, clothes + books in a corner of your bedroom, a blank wall that needs a picture, or a piece of furniture that’s no longer working for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little bit of restyling and organising can help to freshen and brighten up this space. Even just spending 15 minutes can make a big difference! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✨ Task: Clean + Tidy The Shower
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know me, I like to organise all types of areas! Junk drawer, utensil drawer, dirty washing- I even organise the shower.  Especially with 3 teenage kids there can end up being quite a bit of product lingering in the shower. Organising makes the shower easier to clean too! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My kids like to keep all their body washes and face scrubs in the shower and just add to it, they also each like a different type of shampoo. So there are a lot of bottles in their shower. I like to keep all products up off the floor to make cleaning as easy as possible. I had an over shower holder, but it would rattle and then went rusty. So when I saw the iHook Shower Caddy I was eager to try it out!

✨ Task: Tidy Pantry
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have just recently given my pantry a makeover. I like to keep all items in my pantry in containers, I throw out the bulky packaging and this utilises the space in my pantry really well. I’ve removed all the Tupperware from my pantry and replaced with OXO, which you can purchase in my shop @organisedhq (currently up to 40% off). I have put the old containers I was using away for my twins as I am sure they are going to be moving out sometime in the next few years.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I do have a lot of containers- I like to cook, bake and create and share recipes with The Organised Housewife community. I like to always have everything readily available. I am absolutely loving my new pantry! So easy to see what food levels I have and what needs replenishing in the next grocery shop. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've filled my pantry with a lot of different sized containers to suit a variety of food. There are specific containers that fit particular foods perfectly! I've created a cheat sheet to help you know what container is best for which foods! Free download in the link in my bio 😊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How did you go with today's task? What do you struggle with in your pantry?
