The Perfect 4 Course Meal For A Holiday Party

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Jefferson chapter.

Hosting a holiday get-together/party is one of the most difficult tasks. From decorating, to cooking, and entertaining, the holiday season brings a whole new level of stress. I have compiled the perfect roundup of courses for your holiday get-together.

Appetizer – Christmas Tree Spinach Dip Breadsticks

Autumn, creator of It’s Always Autumn, has come up with the coolest appetizer to serve at a festive rendezvous. Not only are they festive, but also incredibly delicious. Plus – they only take 30 minutes in total to prep and then cook! Definitely a recipe worth trying. Find the recipe here: https://www.itsalwaysautumn.com/christmas-tree-spinach-dip-breadsticks.html

Entrée – Ham with Holiday Glaze

Shauna, of Best Blog Recipes, has created a delicious glaze to upgrade the dinner ham. This glaze is made of apricot jam, honey, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cloves. This recipe is an easy way to elevate the dry, unflavorful Christmas ham that we’re used to. Full recipe: https://thebestblogrecipes.com/ham-glaze/

Side Dish – Honey Butter Skillet Corn

This next recipe is one I have personally tried – and it’s absolutely delicious. This recipe is from Together as a Family. The dish takes only 15 minutes to cook – making it a tasty and efficient side dish! The part that makes it most delicious is definitely the cream cheese. I highly recommend giving this one a try.

Dessert – Gingerbread Cheesecake Cups

For the dessert, I picked something unique that I haven’t seen done before. This recipe by Daisy will amaze your guests. They are little gingerbread cups with a delicious cheesecake filling. The best thing is… they don’t take long to make at all!
