Do you do Christmas Roasts?

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

If so, what is your meat (or vegan option) of choice?

For us, it's turkey.

 

[MillauFr]

Too much work. I would rather have a steak on the grill.

 

[CdnCarrie]

Turkey with both sides of the family. So twice within couple days.

Prime Rib

Growing up my family did turkey and a ham. We go to DH's brother's now. His wife does a filet roast. She also used to do a ham when the group was larger.
If it was just DH & I , I'd cook a beef roast

Prime Rib

Same here! Usually do turkey or ham, but changing it up this year.

We do a turkey for Thanksgiving, so we go in the opposite direction and have homemade lasagna for Christmas dinner.

Ham Christmas Eve

Beef roast Christmas day

 

[ClaraOswald]

The past several years, we've done different things. For Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, it's just myself, my husband, our son, and my parents. This year we're just doing chicken on Christmas Eve. And my mom is doing vegetable beef soup on Christmas. Not very traditional but we like it that way.

Rib roast with a few trimmings. Easy to do and very tasty as always.

We are having a NY Strip Roast for Christmas Eve since we like it better than Prime Rib or Tenderloin and a Spiral ham for Christmas Day. I actually think roasts are the easiest thing to make. Just season and cook…pretty hands off and always great for a crowd.

I gave up doing a big meal on Christmas Day years ago. I suddenly realized that while everyone else was playing with their new toys, reading their new books, and watching football, I was on my feet in the kitchen, cooking and doing dishes all day. We swapped over to easy meals so I could have a holiday, too. Several times recently, it's been stuffed shells, with all components purchased at Sam's. DD loves to cook so for the past few years (since they moved in with us) we've had more-elaborate meals; this year it's braised short ribs. She makes divine short ribs, and I'll happily peel potatoes for mashed potatoes; gotta have mashies for all her delicious veggie infused, wine infused gravy that she uses for braising the ribs!

I also don’t want to spend Christmas in the kitchen so we either do lasagna that I can make in advance or a variety of apps and snack all day.
