Gammon that I always cook Xmas Eve with eggs, bread & butter (real proper posh butter)
May do some chips too

I thought it was the law that everyone eats honey ham on Christmas Eve? With macaroni cheese and salad for lunch. Then a giant cheese board in the evening. We spruce ours up with pigs on blankets and mustard 😂

Home made curry. The spice legend book was the best thing I received in lockdown as the curries are easy but delicious

Smoked salmon blinis, sausage rolls, mini pizzas, duck spring rolls, vegetable gyozas, cheese and crackers, Pringles and dips. Followed by chocolates and mince pies. I can’t wait!

KFC

We are also having KFC.
When I was a child my family always ordered Indian takeaway.
And previous years it's been pork and stuffing rolls (much to my dismay)

Party food here. I’ve got loaded skins, chicken goujons, prawn selection, breaded chicken selection, mini vol au vents, a Camembert, Indian food selection and more.
We all just pick all night.

This sounds fab!

We all choose our favourite 'special' dinner on Christmas Eve and often have different things from the picky buffet bits to Chinese/ Indian ready meals from M&S to salmon and prawn cocktails to cheese boards. The only day of the year I'll happily prepare everyone different meals so it's quite a special tradition.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 24/12/2024 00:14

Nando’s for lunch, then sausage sandwiches for tea.

Tintackedsea · 24/12/2024 00:17

Homemade pizza so everyone can have their favourite toppings

Gooshka1 · 24/12/2024 00:23

Pork, stuffing and gravy baps with crackling. Will cook the meat all day in slow cooker so that it can be pulled apart with a spoon!

Sadtosaythis · 24/12/2024 00:25

Steak baguettes for us!

MrsHemswoth · 24/12/2024 00:32

Gammon, chips, egg or pinapple with Mary Berrys homemade Yule log - do it every year!

Lossyfloss · 24/12/2024 00:32

Steak pie, cauliflower cheese and either chips or mash with extra gravy.

Was going to be Dominos pizza but I've just whatsapped DDs asking what they think of doing Christmas Dinner on Christmas Eve now! I've been influenced Blush

mondaytosunday · 24/12/2024 00:44

It was to be takeaway but I got an unexpected Hello Fresh delivery (thought I'd cancelled it as I have enough food to feed the ten thousand). Anyhoo we are having one of those - probably pasta dish. Slightly complicated by the fact I have to collect my son from Portsmouth at about 6.15 - though could be an hour later if he misses the ferry (we live in London he lives on the IOW).

TKRedLemonade · 24/12/2024 00:44

Fry up, as we have homemade cinnamon rolls for Christmas breakfast

Tearsricochet · 24/12/2024 00:44

M&S ready meals - for some reason it’s become a bit of a tradition as we always host on Xmas day. Quick, easy and the kids like them.

Thinking I might need to mix it up next year!

TianasBayou · 24/12/2024 01:11

Takeaway pizzas, and salads.
And cocktails.

Babybelle23 · 24/12/2024 01:29

A takeaway, I can’t face cooking and wrapping and sorting everything for the morning xx

jolies1 · 24/12/2024 08:18

Was going to cook something nice, ran out of time (and patience) so I went to Tesco at 9pm last night and bought oven pizzas, olives, hummus and charcuterie. Bon appetit 😂
