Whether your holiday feast will center around turkey, ham, or something else, don’t forget your Christmas dinner side dishes.

Like the ornaments on the tree or the bow on a delicately wrapped gift, side dishes perfectly complement Christmas dinner. They make for a more complete meal, and they give you a chance to get creative.

Let’s discuss a few of the best Christmas dinner side dishes you should try this holiday season.

Set Your Christmas Dinner Table with These Sides

Let’s start with potatoes, a side that can go with nearly any meal. The Food Network shows us how to make spiralized scalloped potatoes. This adds a cheesy taste and a crunchy sensation to the side, making each bite more satisfying.

Green beans are another dish that almost always find their way to the Christmas table. But how about giving them some added flavor and a bit of extra holiday cheer? The fine people at Delish offer a recipe for cranberry bacon green beans. It’s a tasty variant of this side that’s perfect for Christmas time.

It wouldn’t be Christmas dinner without some type of roll. But with this recipe from The Pioneer Woman, you won’t need the butter unless you want it. These olive oil drop biscuits are full of flavor and bring a fluffy texture that’s a joy to eat.

With this selection of sides, your table will be fuller — both of potential and flavor. Hopefully your holiday season will also be full of family, fun, and festive spirit. We thank you for letting us take part in helping you prepare for this joyful time!
