We cook the ham the day before or maybe even 2 days before and have that cold.

I slice it, drizzle over gravy and heat up in the oven.

In a slow cooker on high for an hour in the juices from the bottom of the cooking tin. No where else to fit it in to heat up.

This is how we do it from Boxing Day onwards. In a casserole dish for an hour on medium heat.
Occasionally we just plate up what people want and zap it in the microwave.

I cook meat on the day, reheated meat doesn't taste as good.

A caterer's trick is to slice the chilled meat thinly, allow to come to room temperature, plate on a hot dinner plate, pour over boiling hot gravy, serve immediately!

I'm not a fan of precooked reheated meat, and would always cook the turkey or joint on the day. But I suppose if you are catering for a large number of guests, cooking the day before makes Christmas Day less stressful, even if also less tasty. Wine Wine

I cook the meat first thing on Christmas morning. I don’t fully cook it, and wrap it in several layers of foil to keep warm. A big joint of beef will stay warm for several hours. As others have said, hot plates and steaming hot gravy are your friend.
