Christmas Buffet Instead of Turkey – What Should We Serve?

[Ladymuckypuddle]

We’ve decided to skip the usual Christmas turkey and all the trimmings this year and do a buffet-style meal instead. There will be a mix of adults/kids and we’d like things that feel a bit festive but are easy to prep in advance so we can actually enjoy the day.

What sort of things would you serve for a Christmas buffet? Cold/hot dishes, crowd-pleasers, picky bits — anything you’ve done before that worked well?

Would love some inspiration!

These all sound fabulous 👌 much appreciated. Will definitely do a ham and also a turkey crown, really hard trying to keep a short list when really I want all your suggestions

Fully agree with you, it’s not necessarily about the meal being complicated or less complicated, you want to do a buffet, so a delicious buffet you will do! We always have the classic Turkey roast on Christmas Day which I do love, but we do a big family/friend buffet the Sunday before Christmas, and it is probably more work/effort, but we love it!
