Christmas is one of my favorite holidays! I love to build our meal with a combination of our family favorites and new dishes. Everyone enjoys the holiday classics but it’s the way you spice them up that really adds to the festivities.
Here are some of the best unique Christmas Side Dishes to add to the big meal on Christmas. The main course is great, but the variety of side dishes is the most fun to experience. Here are 30 possibilities to add to your Christmas traditions.
