Follow our handy Christmas party guide to make sure you plan and host a memorable Christmas celebration for loved ones.
A festive feast
Prepare a family-style dish that everyone can serve themselves. Not only can you get it ready in advance, it’ll also give your party a lovely warm and cosy feel. Here are a couple of recommendations to get your tastebuds tingling…
- Slow cooker beef casserole with cheesy dumplings
- Crumble-topped roast vegetable pie
- Quick squash lasagne
- BBC Good Food, Chilli Con Carne
- Crowd pleaser curries
Alternatively, let your loved ones help out and ask them to bring their speciality dish. That way they’ll be a variety of dishes to try, and you’ll have more time to chat and enjoy your fabulous party!
Magical decorations
If you’re planning a sit-down meal, create a DIY centrepiece with a glass vase or fruit bowl and fill it with Christmas baubles. Finish off by lighting a few candles and setting out handwritten place cards so you’ve got a gorgeous table that’s set to impress.
