Can you/would you eat cold stuffing (no meat)

I'm trying to work out logistics for cooking Christmas dinner and worrying about space in my oven.
I'm making vegetarian stuffing so no meat or meat free sausage meat due to there also being someone who is gluten free and most vegetarian sausages contains wheat.
Anyway I'm sure I've eaten cold stuffing before but not sure if it's acceptable to serve it to guests if I was to make it in the morning before everything else is in the oven?

I always do the stuffing cold, simply from an oven logistic POv as much as anything

You can eat it, sure, but I'd not want it cold if everything else was cooked hot! Can you zap it in the microwave?

In a sandwich with some cold turkey, yes.

Microwave is probably the answer then!

With the Christmas dinner? Not really. I bought some cheap isulated dishes from Lidl to put stuff in when it has cooked. I have one oven so a lot of juggling goes on if I'm doing a roast with all the trimmings. These dishes are a life saver.

Not as part of a roast dinner, I'd want it hot then. Happy to eat it cold sandwiched in a cold leftover roast potato for my supper later that day.

I mean stuff, not just stuffing. I sometimes put the pigs in blankets and veg in them to keep hot for 15 minutes or so while other things are cooking in the oven.

My oven rotation goes as follows:

  1. Turkey cooked - taken out to rest under tinfoil and towels (turkey is much juicier when it has an hour of rest)
  2. everything but the roast potatoes - then kept warm with tinfoil over pots of hot water.
  3. Crank up the heat - roast potatoes

Luckily it's a vegetarian Christmas dinner so need to worry about turkey. Normally I wouldn't be bothered as I have a small top oven I've used in the past. Don't normally use it but did last night and it really struggled to get up to temperature.
